I have 30DS but I hate level one not a fan of push ups. I was wondering which one is easier they both seem intense but wanted to get some advice. It was difficult for me to get through the entire 30 days of 30DS so I wanted to try ripped in 30.

    Stick with 30DS before moving onto Ripped. Trust me, it gets better!!! I finally finished 30DS and was so proud of myself and really noticed a difference in my endurance and strength. Ripped is no joke either! I would suggest finishing 30DS and then moving onto Ripped. If the push-ups are killer, then do the modified version!

    I did all of 30 DS the further levels have you do planks, which is worse. I am on week 3 of Ripped in 30 and suggest to those who may have trouble with 30 DS to stick with it before moving on. Ripped in 30 (to me) is more intense.

    Yes, finish Shred first. I am on week 2 of Ripped in 30 & would be really hurting if I had not done Shred first.

    I find the cardio portion of ripped easier than 30 DS. I like them both for different reasons.

    I finished 30 ds twice and i just moved onto ripped in 30 today. day 1 level 1. i did find it easy since i did 30ds... i was going to do 6-7 days of each level but i think i will only do 5 of level 1 since it was pretty easy. i liked it though.... what is the difference with the rest of the levels compared to 30ds?

    That plan really helped me improve my pushups. I wasn't really increasing the amount I could do with 30DS, I still struggled even at the end of it, I'd barely noticed any improvement. I'm doing Ripped in 30 now, and I do the above plan every other day, it seems to be helping a lot more. It only takes a few minutes too.

    I found level 2 to be fairly easy because of doing 30DS before. Level 3 gets more difficult and Level 4 is a killer for me! It's doable though!

    If you hate push ups it's because they are hardest for you, which is exactly why you should do them more :)

    ripped in 30 is harder that 30 day shred. xP

    you gotta suck it up and power through it if you want results.

    I wouldn't stop doing it just because it's hard...That's kind of the point of it. Push past the difficult part...Giving up the easily will get you nowhere. & if you don't like level one because of the push ups you will really dislike level 2 then. I hate level 2 so much.

    I didn't care for level1 of 30 day shred but I liked level 2 better. I am on level3 now and April 6th is my last day of 30 day shred..=) I have never done ripped in 30. When I am done with 30 day shred I am doing banish fat boost metabolism and no more trouble zones ( i think that is what they are called) I don't like pushups but I just switch from the easy to the hard ones on and off. Sometime you just got to force yourself to do it and get it over with so you can get the results you want. It the workout is hard don't stop doing it just try to do it and eventually you can do more and more of the work out.

    From what I hear, Ripped in 30 is an improved version of the 30day shred. I did Ripped in 30 without doing 30 day shred, and although it is tough, I found it doable. I rather be challenged sooner rather than later.

    This looks like just the kind of thing I need! Thank you!!
