    Hi everyone! I love this dvd so I hope you don't mind if I join in. I started a few weeks ago right after finishing the shred. Level 1 was too easy for me so I skipped right to level 2. I've been stuck on level 3 for a couple of weeks now. It is most definitely the hardest workout I've ever done (especially the first 3 minutes!). I'm on day 5 or 6 I think. I stopped for a couple of weeks while on vacation and just got back into it today. It was really hard and I felt like I was going to be sick during it but I finished. I intend to stick with it now. I also want to mix in her 6 week 6 pack dvd because that is where I need the most work.

    t
    level one was too easy for me as well so I am doing 1 and 2 back to back to make a35 minute work out and i pause the dvd at the final cool down tro walk around the block once before i do the stretching. i think this combo (changed one shoulder exercise to triceps) will keep me going for awhile. :tongue:

    Good idea! I modified the shred and made it a little harder in parts too. I held the weights during all of the cardio and that was a killer. The next step is probably heavier weights. I'm using only 3 lbs but so far level 3 of ripped is still KILLING me so I'm not doing that yet.:wink:

    RI30 Last day of Week 2 completed! YAY!!!! So excited to move onto week 3! The good news is that I lost 3.5 more inches this week with the 3 from last week so overall halfway through Ripped In 30, I've lost 6.5 inches and I've toned my muscles so much! I am acually seeing muscles in my legs I never knew were there! So excited and glad I'm sticking with it!!

    thats awesome that you are seeing such great results! I find with her workouts I feel like I lose inches more than pounds. Especially with week 2 that I am on now, its a lot of strength work.

Took yesterday off and now I need to get my butt in gear to do D6! I am almost done with this week and almost half way finished. I don't know where my motivation has gone but I NEED to find it!!! lol Hope you all have a great day! I have to run (my marine brother is home on leave and he has to go back today :( gotta go beat him up ;P)

    I did W3 again today (I think I'm on day 6?). It is definitely getting easier. I actually used 5lb weights this time instead of 3 but she doesn't use the weights a whole lot in this one. I made it through the duck walk without collapsing! :)

    Did W2D1 today. It was very hard! I thought the ab work and strength definitely got harder but the cardio I could handle. I was kind of discouraged since I had to stop a couple of times so I don't know if I should do some more of Week 1 or just continue. I think I should try out a 2nd day and see what happens. Good luck everyone!

    W2D5 today. ready for week 2 to be over!! the squat thrusts and mountain climbers are killing me!!! Im hitting a plateau too right now and its so discouraging!! Btw I am reading Jillians book Master your Metabolism. Has anyone else read it? It talks about eating whole, clean foods and how hormones really play a role in weight loss. It tells you how to get those hormones back on track by eating the right foods and eliminating toxins from your life. I read a similar book caled The Perfect 10 diet when I first started trying to lose weight back in october and that helped me lose the first 20 lbs. But anyway Jillians book is really interesting and I recommend it to everyone. Good luck today girls!!:smile:

    Definitely keep going with level 2. By the 3rd or 4th time you will get it. I still collapse during parts of week 3 but I know it's getting easier. I like workouts that are just harder than I can handle because I don't have a lot of time to exercise and I need to make the most of it.

    RI30 W3D2 done. Wow, it was extremely hard to get through today's workout. There were probably about ten times I wanted to just quit. My mind was battling with my willpower whispering about how I could finish later, but I won the fight and kept going until I finished. That being said, I didn't give it 110% effort since my mind was spoiling it for the rest of me, but I still got a good workout. I am going to take the time to write and reflect today on how far I've come since starting 30DS and hopefully that will help me stay motivated so I don't have another negative slip up!

    I took a rest day yesterday as I couldn't handle the workout with my attitude after hearing some discouraging family news, but I jumped back into it today!

    Week 3 is so interesting... My body has a hard time twisting into the forms that she wants us to use!!! She seems to get more intense in her attitude every week and this week's workout is so face pace. You don't have time to even breathe before she's onto the next exercise. I can't get up that quickly haha.

    Week 3 day 1 done. Am I the only one who thinks week 2 was harder than week 3? For some reason, I just did not enjoy week 2. It must target my weak zones! I probably should do it more because of that, but I was ready to move on and actually enjoyed week 3! Sick, I know!

    W2Day3 done today, and I'm now halfway through the week! YAY for everyone sticking to it :D
    I've been slacking off with my eating for a bit so I need to stop overestimating my workouts and start tidying up my meals but I don't think I've every worked out continuously this long so I'll try to stay positive.
    Week 2 definitely gets more doable as you continue it so thanks for convincing me to stick with it instead of going back to the first week, you guys are awesome! STAY STRONG :D

    I must have the opposite weak zones as you because I liked week 2 and week 3 makes me want to puke! ;) That duck walk is horrendous. I love it though. Especially now that I'm able to do more with it. I know I'm getting stronger. I'm pretty scared to start level 4 though.

    Completed RI30 W3D3 this morning! Way better motivation compared to yesterday and not any major battles with negative thoughts during it! YAY! That's a small victory for the day! Still having trouble with some of the moves though, they are challenging and JM races through the reps while I'm still trying to figure out the correct form haha! Oh well, I'll improve in time!

    ^^^ Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of this level. Level 1 is still my favorite.. haha! The duck walk is KILLLLLLLLLLLLLER!
