"Ripped" in October

I'm in!! I need the accountability to stay at it! I just got the DVD in the mail yesterday so it's the PERFECT time for me to jump in!

I was actually looking at this video in Walmart yesterday. I did the 30DS August challenge and currently doing the C25K . I wanted to pick this up and do it on the off days of the c25k. I cant do it everyday because I am still having knee problems....I wonder if it will be ok to do only 3 days a week with a day of rest on Sunday from both?:bigsmile:

That is great news! I'm excited- lets do this thing

Day 1 down! Felt like I was cheating on the shadow boxing after doing them with weights on 30DS L3. That Shelly is super quick on the shadow boxing - going to try and stay with her tomorrow!

@pakks, I couldn't face JM either first thing. So sorted out the children for their day, had some coffee and then faced the music!

Happy Ripping

I did it. Though going through it was painful, it feels so good after completion
I would consider this a big success if I make it through all 4 levels

I just did my first day of Ripped in 30 and came to read the boards and found this thread so I'll join in.

I finished up the 30 Day Shred on Saturday and I have to admit that week one of RI30 was not as big of a challenge. But with any luck that will mean that I won't get as ridiculously sore as I did at the beginning of the shred. I am really excited to move through the levels in this workout and get ripped.

Side note, I couldn't even do one push up when i started working out in July and now I can do several in proper form, but they still destroy me. And it makes me feel like the biggest loser ever because my husband is a push up machine.

I did this today! I skipped my typical Monday at the gym and sat here and swore at Jillian. It wasn't as horrible as Day 1 of 30DS so I guess it's a good thing. Yeah!!!

Good Morning/Afternoon/Day Rippers!!!

Well, MochaBlues is so proud to report that Day 1, Week 1 is behind her!:drinker:

Well, I can say, it wasn't so bad, now that its over:laugh: I started this workout with my 2.5 lb Zumba weights, because I didn't want to start out with the 5lbs and I don't have 3lbs. Anyway, that Sheila is built like a monster (:noway: -I wouldn't mind that at all) For the most part, I hung with Sheila.

I was pleasantly surprised about some of the familiar rountines in the shred. However, with Jillian focusing so much on form in this DVD, I felt as though I had been doing some of the routines incorrectly. I dunno, but I was doing my best to try and maintain proper form, that will definitely be a challenge for me over the next 30 days.

Okay, forewaring (*****ing session) what's with those vertical leaps?:noway: :grumble: Sheeesh, and here I thought when she broke out the "skaters" cardio, I was thinkin, I've done those before not a problem, but Good Lord, did you all see how "Bee" did them- MY gawd:laugh: :noway: I tried to hang with her, but only managed a couple.

Now, on the shred, I could only do the basic side planks with Natalie, Did you all see those Planks "Bee" did? WTH, kind of mess it that?? LOL. MochaBlues definitely has her work cut out for her!

Good workout overall, I was guzzling water throughout the entire workout....Ripped in 30, is definitely doing wonders for my water intake :laugh:

See all you Rippers tomorrow! Happy Ripping---> Oh and be sure to GET IT DONE! You'll be glad you did:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hello Ladies!
I'm in! A friend of mine and I were planning on doing Ripped starting October (the meal plan and all)!
I'm planning on doing my workouts after work. I know I will need some motivation with this. I'll make some more comments after I get through the first workout tonight

I downloaded the meal plan and I'm not impressed. I guess I was expecting more detail and such. It's pretty much similar to most of the other meal plans that are out there right now. Don't pick on me, but I have the "Look Better Naked" book from Women's Health and the meal plans from that are pretty good. I'm trying to use ideas from all of them and really pay attention to getting enough water, veggies, fiber and the right nutrients. I'm determined to be smokin through the holidays this year - starting with Halloween.

Well, I too have completed my first day of Ripped! It definitely is a good workout! I was a little disappointed with circuit 1, but maybe I'll just have to use heavier weights tomorrow (only for the first circuit, cuz the other two kicked my *kitten*!) I used 5 pound weights for all of 30 DS and I could have used heavier ones for some of the moves, but didn't have any. Maybe tomorrow I'll try 8 pounds for the first circuit and stick to 5 pounds for the rest.

Overall, it should be a great workout as long as I stick to it and I'm hoping that by next month I will be "ripped"!!!

Mocha I love you post about your first day, and I totally agree!

My goal is to work on my form. Some of the moves are new, and I've never seen them, so hopefully I can get them down and do them properly to get the best bang for my buck!

If you haven't done your workout yet today, make sure you get it in!! I know we all work out at different times depending on what works best. But whenever it is, just make sure you do it!
