I just did day 1 week 1 and it was great! I am just confused about something. I also do cycle 2x a week so am I suppose to do RI30 for 5 days straight so I will be working out 7 days in a row? The RI30 doesn't seem like enough for me because I don't even burn 200 cals, I'm wondering if this will work for me, I'm use to working out for at least an hour and having a lot of cals to eat......any advice? Thanks and good luck this month!!!0

This is what I follow... 2 days Jillian, 1 day cardio, 1 day rest, 2 days jillan, 1 day rest. (this is per Jillian's online recommendation) On my Jillian days, I will sometimes add an extra 20-30 of cardio. I try to vary the intensity and duration of my workouts so I don't plateau. I did 30DS last month and only lost a couple pounds. I think it was because I did the DVD 5 days a week with 1 day of elliptical and only 1 day of rest, so I didn't have much variation. Plus, I found I wasn't drinking enough water. Good luck!0

Glad I have someone else shooting for 10 this month! Helps to keep motivated! I did the first level today and feel good. I was able to keep up with the more advanced person for almost all of it. I wimped out with the last set of pushups and did it on my knees. And the ab move where you're on your side raising yourself on your elbow...I tried doing it on my hand but wow! That was hard!0

I started ripped today as well and have a goal of 10-12 pounds for March. I also do zumba or the elliptical 6x a week. So i figured I'd do ripped and about 40 minutes zumba or elliptical to keep workouts at about an hour. My question is are any of you doing weights at the gym or home also, or just what you get in with ripped?0
-
The only weights that I'm doing are in ripped....unless you consider hauling a 25 lb babe around weights! 0

Just finished day 2 of level 1. I'm feeling really good and looking forward to moving up a level!0
-
Did day 1 of level 1 yesterday and I am so sore! Especially in my core!0
-
I am going to start Ripped today. I'm a few days late, but with the busy schedule I've been having, it's hard to fit in fitness sometimes. But as long as I'm part of the team, I have no excuses to not get it done. So, Day 1 Level 1 will be tonight. (at work right now) 30 days from now, I hope to be 8 pounds down. 0
-
I did my 4th day of level 1 today. I actually started a day early, so I could move up to level 2 tomorrow (doing 4 days of ripped and a day of cardio per week), but I think i might stick with level 1 for an extra day. I'll have to see how I feel tomorrow.0

Hang in there aalewine! It does get easier!
Let us know what you think of it losingforwinn. I did the shred last month, so it was much easier doing level 1 of ripped than it was of shred.0 -
Started level 2 today and think it's a lot more intense. I never thought that I'd be wishing for a good old fashioned push up! So glad that I had done 30 day shred last month!! I had to stop a couple of times and I had to follow the modified version quite a few times. Maybe I'm just having an off day...

THe modified versions are just as hard and at least you got thru it! Way to go!!! Like I told you I finished day 2 level 1 but I'm still doing the modified versions, cause I have a stress fracture on my hip and can do the Hard versions...0

Oh wow! How long will it take to heal?0 -

It's actually going on 3 months and I still haven't healed. It happened while running, so I can still work out I just can't run and although I'm not running I have to take it easy on the squats and lunges, I was a bit sore from it.... I go to the dr in a couple weeks so hopefully I will improve.0 -

I started it today too. It is faster and has a lot of abs! I think it will take me a while to get the hang of this one...by the time i do it will be time to move on. I noticed I didn't burn as many calories though. My HRM didn't show my heart rate getting up as high to burn calories. Hopefully as I get more fluent with the moves that will change. I don't think your having an off day! I'm right there with you on the modified moves! You can do it!! Be great at the modified moves!!0 -

Haha! I sucked at some of the modified moves too. I did elliptical today and tomorrow is my day off. Kind of looking forward to giving it another shot on Thursday though. Second time on a level is usually easier!
You're probably right about your heart rate. I'll bet that day 2 will be higher!0 -
This probably a really stupid question but what is a HRM? Is it something that will just tell you your heart rate during your workout?0
-
It's a heart rate monitor. Not sure what all they can do though.0
-
Most HRMonitors will tell you your heart rate as well as calories burned during the workout. I have a Polar FT4. You will put your age, weight, sex, etc. and it will calculate your target heart rate for calorie burning. For example mine is between 118-155 so when my heart rate gets in that zone I am burning more calories and benefiting from the exercise. That is why some people say these are more accurate than using the MFP calorie rates because it is using your personal heart rate and burn zone. We all exert different amounts of energy during an exercise. I won't burn as much as some people and more than others depending on how hard I'm working. Does that make sense? Yesterday I started week 2 and didn't burn that many calories because I was not moving as fast trying to learn the new exercises but today I burned about 50 more because I was faster and better at the moves. Hope this helps. I love my HRM!0

I start week 2 tomorrow. I had mixed feelings about week one. I thought the first few days werent so bad, but the last 2 days have been killer. Heres hoping I make it through week 2 :happy:0

I've had that happen before too where the first couple of days are easier than the last. I think it's that I'm working harder because I'm more effective at the moves and am doing them correctly.
Let us know what you think of week 2. I'm on day 2 of it tomorrow!0 -
Starting level 3 tomorrow. I know it's going to kick my butt, but I'm getting bored with level 2. I really seem to need a lot of variety these days. If anyone else has done level 3, let me know how it is!0
-
Just bought the video today going to do day 1 in the morning, pretty excited and hope this brings results. I lost a ton of weight within the last year but I need to suck it in a little more, going to Vegas for my 21st birthday in mid April and I need to look hot in my dress and be bathing suit ready for the day time good luck to everyone else who's doing it too! 0
-
Week 2 is turning out not to be as bad as I thought. I'm having major trouble with the ab/table part but I'm doing my best. EEEKKK can only imagine what Jillian is going to do to us in week 3 :happy:0

Let me know how you like that level. Im still doing level one and it seems sooooooooooo LONNNGGGGGGG. I can't stand it! I don't get some of the moves either- like the one after the dead lifts and the one where u r swinging the weight, seems redundant....0 -
Day 3, week 1 tomorrow. I didn't know how I was gonna feel about workout videos but I'm loving it. I'm throwingnin cardio/gym time along with it. I sweat a lot for the workout but stills seems short and I want to work through this soreness quickly. My butt and thighs are pretty sore but I love it! I find myself lowering the volume of JM and turning up my stereo in the background, helps a little. I know I'm a late starter so hope everyone posts about the results they're seeing because I'm excited/curious to see when I might start seeing them 0

Last day for week 2. It went by much faster than week 1 mentally! Looking forward to week 3...that means I'm halfway there! Very excited about the results. My waist and stomach seems to be disappearing! I hope i see results when I do my measurements in the end.0

I've done level 3 twice now and both times I hear JM say that it's time for the cool down and I can't believe that it's over! Not sure how I keep losing track of which circuit I'm on, but I guess that's much better than waiting for it to be over! Overall I like level 3. There are a couple of moves that have trouble with like the ab hold and I feel like I get a good workout. It's also a bit shorter than level 2.0 -
Level 3 is go go go! It is a killer! Definitely a good workout. Some moves were difficult but it really challenges you. I felt weak legs a few times. So far I like it in a weird way!!0
