Instead of going all 30 days with shred and/or ripped..have you ever tried to do like 30 days of mixups? One day do shred, the other ripped..say day 3 you want to do another one of her series? I was thinking about doing that instead..

    First of all I noticed your Naruto pic in your ticker, AWESOME!!! We always have a problem getting the codecs to work when we download the anime so we just stick with the manga that we have been reading since it was created.

    Second, pertaining to your question. I am doing 30DS straight through. I haven't seen the moves on RI30 myself but there is a thread about it and I have heard that the moves are more involved and difficult in RI30 if you aren't in shape.

    If you are in shape and can do all of the moves in 30DS no problem then I don't see why it would hurt switching it up. Would keep you from getting bored anyways.

    I'm doing 30 DS right now, but every 4 days or so I get bored and swap out for RI30 at the same level. I think RI30 is a little harder but it keeps it fun and then I appreciate going back to 30DS.

    Hi! I just finished the 30DS last Friday and didn't do any other workout. Tomorrow, I want to combine the DVDs I have from her plus butt bible. I'm still trying to find a DVD that can help me with upper body. This is my schedule for next month:
    - Mondays: Killer buns and Thighs + Butt Bible
    - Tuesday: Six Week 6 pack and still looking for *that* DVD than can help me with upper body. I will do meanwhile Butt Bible for upper body.
    - Wednesday: Extreme Shed and Shred
    - Thursday: Same as Monday
    - Friday: Same as Tuesday
    - Saturday: Same as Wednesday
    - Sunday: Off.

    *At some point I'll throw in my belly dance DVDs.

    I don't have RI30 or more JM DVDs, so I'll work with with I have right now. I think is great to mix so I don't get bored. there was a point in 30DS when I was like "please no more", not because of the workout, but more like doing the same exercises for 10 days.

    Yes, I have several JM dvd's as well as a bunch of other dvd's and I switch them all up so I don't get bored and so my muscles don't get used to doing just one thing over and over again.

    The 30 Day Shred was my first Jillian DVD, and I did it for about 30 days. Then I did exactly what you're suggesting - I picked up Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and alternated the two workouts. Then I bought another DVD, and another, and another....that was two years ago. :smile:

    Now I still alternate workouts from week to week, usually a shorter one with weights followed by a run, the next day a longer one that's more cardio, depending on my mood and how much time I have.

    it's working and keeps me from getting bored.

    Current titles:

    Ripped in 30
    Banish Fat Boost Metabolism
    Kickbox Fastfix
    Killer Buns & Thighs
    6 Week Six-Pack
    Yoga Meltdown
    Shred It With Weights (although I haven't done this one in quite awhile, not sure why)

    Loaned 30DS to my mom, so haven't done that one lately, either. :tongue:

    I also picked up Biggest Loser Cardio Max at a thrift store, so I mix that one in occasionally, too - a little Bob, Jillian, and whatever the other chick's name is from the early seasons.

    I get bored doing the same workout over and over, so I recently decided to do the "30 Day Slimdown" I kept seeing around on these boards. It basically mixes Jillian's 30DS, BFBM and NMTZ in a 30 day schedule. I'm only on day 5 now, but I haven't gotten bored yet! Good luck!

    I get really bored with the same workout so I have Banish Fast, Boost Metabolism, Kickboxing Fastfix, and the 30 day shred

    I mix it up between RI30 and Extreme Shed and Shred, plus some other stuff on my own. I think as long as you work out, it doesn't really matter. Do what you have to not get bored, and keep moving.

    I mix 3-4 Jillian workouts with different workouts, and running. Depens on how much time I have and how energetic I feel.
