...but no excuses, right? :noway:
This group has grown by leaps and bounds -and to think I worried if anyone wanted to do Ripped!
Well, we went from 7 members up until a couple of days prior to 24 as of now ( midnight-ish)
:blushing: Haven't seen EVERYone leave a message yet, but maybe you are the more quiet observer and that's OK.
Never hesitate to ask or ponder anything! I'm positive that if I don't know the answer :huh: [ or beat you to it] someone else will jump in and help with their input.
As I said in the intro:
YOU ALL MAKE THIS GROUP WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE

I've done 5 days of Level 1 and even on day 5 it didn't seem any easier. Today is my rest day as i'm going out, but tomorrow i'm starting Level 2!!0

Finished day 6 of level 1 this morning; I think I will attempt level 2 tomorrow (yikes). Trying not to get discouraged as both my weight and measurements were up this am.0

Thats how I felt with level 2 of the 30 day shred... it never got easier! Hang in there because when you finish up you will be amazed at how far you've come and Level 1 will be smooth sailing (but you'll still sweat ALOT!!)0 -
I'm a little late to start, but I bought the DVD last night and searched for a group! I'm logging my food, then getting off the couch and starting day 1. Wish me luck!0

Good luck and you aren't started too late, a lot of us started yesterday and a lot of people are ahead of us. so jump on in!0 -
ok L1 D2- I feel like I got a much better work out today since I had a better idea of what exercise would be coming next though I have to admit after the butt kicks I automatically sink down to do punches.
I have a sneaking suspicion that people say this is easier or not as intense than the 30 day shred because of the 3 strength moves instead of just 2. I have to say i quite enjoy 30 second interval, those one minute intervals made me want to cry sometimes
Overall, i love feeling strong! I hope everyone else is enjoying their journey with jillian!0 -

i heard a lot of ppl lose weight on they rest days.
consider taking a break tomorrow then starting week two on sunday (thats what I'm doing)
when you work your muscles a lot they tend to retain more carbohydrates and water to assist with recovery. just take a break, drink a lot of liquids and relax.
I heard the drinking a protein shake right after your work out can help with swelling and soreness though, so thats another thing to consider.0 -
Day 2 of week 1 for me.
Why is my body acting like it hasn't been worked in months? I distinctly remember finishing the 30 Day Shred just Tuesday!:frown:
My hamstrings and glutes are aching like they haven't been used in a good while. I have a hard time believing her on the -last time you'll be doing push-ups spiel. Also didn't miss the side lunge/arm lift combo when we were done with them in the shred -yet here they pop up again! :grumble: Personal improvement: I went up to 5# weights on that.
Enough about complaining. On the positive side: I can keep up with most of the beastly versions of the exercises. Huffing and puffing (and occasionally pausing -sorry) on the cardio, though. I guess that means I'm not quite 'there' yet.:ohwell:
Have a pleasant Sunday, as that will be my planned day off,

Day 4 week 1 for me.
Today's workout was both good and not so good. Due to some health things I have going on, today I was having some back pains and didn't feel into doing the workout. However, I decided to do it anyway because I really want to say that I gave this program my all. So I did the workout and just modified some things for myself personally, and I didn't use weights because I didn't want to place added pressure on my back. I still felt like I got a good workout... maybe not as great a workout as I would have if I had used weights, but still a good workoutI was able to go through the whole thing without needing to take as many "pauses" as usually... so all in all, I'm happy with today
Tomorrow will be day 5 for me, and then I'm going to rest for a couple days, and then pick back up for week 2! Or should I do 6 days as me "week"? I'm not sure...
Hope everyone else is doing well!0 -
Today is Week 1 day 4 for me. I am really liking this workout so far. It is way more fun than the 30DS in my opinion. I am a little scared to see what weeks 2-4 are like. I have been at a bit of a standstill as far as weight loss. I only want to use a few more pounds anyway to get to my second goal so I am hoping this new workout does the trick.
Good luck everyone. Let's keep pushing ourselves!0 -
Day 2 of week one check
I am liking that next week we will never see any of these moves again

Week 1 Day 2 is in the books. My right knee wants to give me trouble, but I am working through it.0

Day 2 week 1 for me. I was going to make today a rest day as I could barely get out of bed. But once I got up and going I made myself do it. This is hard and only week one! I'm scared of the other 3 weeks!!0
