    Hi Ladies, I missed yesterday, so this morning was Week 1/Day 4 for me. I think I'm going to try to stagger my breaks so that I'm off one weekday and only one weekend day. With doing other workouts, I need to spread them out. It was a little better, but since I know the moves now I muted the TV and put some music on. That made it MUCH better.

    I'm still modifying the side plank with keeping the bottom leg bent. And I hate the hollow man! My body looks like I'm having a seizure with all the shaking!

    The hollow man is so evil!! I can't hold my legs up that low to the ground.

    I would love to join you all. I've actually been doing this on my own and am just ready to complete week one. I'm scared of week two. I never did master the side plank :( I'm also adding c25k to this monday.


    You are welcome to join us

    OK today was day 1 level 2. It was much quicker paced. I got lost a couple of times but I really enjoyed it!

    I've been doing Ripped in 30 and C25K. I did C25K 3 times this week (started at Week 2 because Week 1 was too easy) and RI30 6 times so far. I'm feeling AWESOME! You're going to love it.

    I was a little scared of what Week 2 will bring so I really pushed myself today and did all of week 1 with NO modifications (yes, even Hollow man!!) I think I'm almost ready for week 2... :S Glad you're all in this with me!

    I have had the DVD for almost 3 weeks and I haven't had the drive to do it...
    I hope that by joining all of you I will have the motivation to do it and complete it!

    I think I am ready for week 2!

    Have a question for everyone though.... Are you taking a rest day or continuing straight through the 30 days? When I did the shred i did straight through, but I thought for ripped there is supposed to be a rest day? Just curious what everyone is doing!

    yeah technically there is one rest day. I have to take more, otherwise I'm useless. It makes my hamstrings so tight! So I'm doing it 3 times a week and doing other stuff on my off days.

    Hi Everyone I started Ripped in 30 on September 28th. I have taken before pictures and all my measurements. I just had a hernia repaired so I am a little afraid on how much its going to affect me, I had to not use weights in some places and just do the movement when I felt a little strain in my stomach. I am also doing this everyday and power walking on hills for 30 mins. I need to get my diet together. But I am soooooo sore today, I am hoping I can do the workout when I wake up tomorrow.

    That is such a good ideas with the music. I have the subtitles on already because I am slightly hearing impaired, so now that I know the moves, I can put on I'm sexy and I know it!

    Hey Ladies!

    I rested yesterday (and went waaaaaay over calories). I'm doing Level 1 today and attempting Level 2 tomorrow. If it's too much, I'm dropping back to Level 1 for a little while longer.

    Glad you ladies like the music recommendation. Beyonce helps me through the workout. :wink:

    Hi Ladies - I did day three of week one today. I worked though all my soreness and still was able to do my 30 min walk afterwards. But I am so nervous that if week one is this hard - how hard will week two be? I know I am still recovering from my surgery but I can only do the modifier. Is it better for me to go through 1 week of each level at the modifier or and then repeat the four weeks at the bad-*kitten* level - or should I do 10 days of each level, 5 at modifier and 5 at bad-*kitten*. What are all you girls doing?

    Whatever is comfortable to you hun. Be careful pushing yourself to the bad-*kitten* level if you just had a procedure done, it may not give it time to heal properly. But all up to you and how you feel. :) Some days I relax and take the modifier when I am extremely sore.

    Just did Week 2 Day 1 and I'm sure glad there's a whole group of you out there doing it too! It'd be too easy to give up on my own. Definitely harder than week 1! Tried to do as many moves as I could without a modifier! :D

    Honestly ladies, I haven't been on it with all the other stuff I have going on. I've still been working out, but not the DVD. I don't know if I'm a 5 time a week-er on this. I might stick to every other day. Hope you all don't kick me out. :)
