    I just did level 1 & 2 together from Extreme Shed & Shred. Some of the moves on level 2 are crazy!! I had to modify several. But I still made it through. I guess I have plenty of room to grow w this one!
    Man, I'm going to be hurting tomorrow. There is no way I'll be able to pull off both levels during the week. Hmmm, I figure out something. :)

    Did week 4, day one this afternoon and man am I already sore. I can feel it in my quads and my shoulders. Every time I raise my arms I want to cry a little. I'm excited for the end to see my measurements and take pictures.

    I just bought this one but haven't done it yet! What is it like? Is it cardio and strength like RI30?

    Sunday is supposed to be a rest day for me but I had a hotdog mishap tonight and by mishap I mean I went for 2 instead of 1. Bad idea lol I feel soooooooo sick!

    Day 2 of Week 2 done this morning :) followed by elliptical. I love routines, don't like to mix it up too much.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Hi ladies! Jumping in late on this thread. I finished week 2 of RI30 yesterday. I'm loving it. I haven't lost a single pound but when I compared my before photos with the ones I took yesterday, I was SO motivated. Big changes already, can't wait to see what they look like at the very end.

    Also, I just found at my walmart a boxed set with 2 JM DVD's - BFBM and NMTZ for $10. Seemed like a good deal, thought I'd pass the info along. :)

    Do you guys have room for 1 more? I've been doing the RI30 too. I'm on day 3. Don't know how I missed this thread but it sure looks like a great group of supportive folks! Good luck everyone. These workouts are tough but I am so energized by them! :D

    Squeezing in here.. if I can. I'm on week 2 day 4. After starting over getting to week 3 due to too many busy days, I've managed to fit the workout in.
    I'm losing weight - the 30lb loss is just from that (although I think it could be more if I drank more water and probably dropped the cals down another 100 - but I don't seem to be shifting inches off my core. I searched, and it says that I seem to be building muscle underneath the stomach fat...

    Any ideas on how I can fix that? My jeans are so baggy on the bum and legs but I can't go down another size just yet :(

    Hi! Welcome to the our supportive group of great gals! How many calories are you eating? The first thing that comes to mind is that maybe you're not eating enough?

    Wow! Lots of new ladies! Welcome :)

    So upon the advice of some of the ladies I decided to watch week 3 of RI30 before I start it tomorrow. WOWEEEEE!!!!! Loving that there isn't any plank cardio phef! But this one is going to be challenging! It looks like my short arms (I think I'm developing a complex about my short arms lol) will prevent me from doing a couple of the moves in this one, but I will just sub them out for something else. Wish me luck for the morning!

    Good luck! You can do it! I'm on day 4 of week 3 and it gets a little easier as you go - I still can't do most of the advanced moves, but I'm feeling stronger!

    Hey there ladies (and guys if there are any on this thread?) :)

    Got my day 3 of week 2 done this morning followed by my usual elliptical trainer. I was really pressing for time since I was tired this morning so I only did 25 minutes on the elliptical (instead of 30....lol). Had to get ready for work.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Today was technically Day 4, Level 1 of RI30. I took a break over the last few days when my daughter, son-in-law and baby grandson came to town. While I loved visiting, I don't recommend a break. This morning's workout kicked my butt.

    I'm also trying the calorie zig-zag. I started yesterday. Has anyone ever tried this? Had any luck?

    I like ripped in 30 better bc I like working w weights more and less jumpy cardio.. Extreme level 1 is not bad and Lvl 2 looks easier than it actually is. I would say it is more cardio based and using your body weight for strength. There are some use of hand weights as leverage like squat swings and some others but not so much focusing on biceps, tris, etc. Lots of lifting yourself in planks and other tough poses/movements. I was exhausted after doing Lvl 1&2 together and there were a lot of moves that I just couldn't do. Now, I'm still a big girl so maybe down the line when I'm smaller & fitter. I think a fitter person would find it to be a good workout. It is very challenging. Let me know what you think. :)

    Completed Day 1 of Week 3 this morning. This is the first time I've really stuck to something and consistently done the workouts each week. Really proud of myself. The progress pics/results are so motivating, it's making it easier to get it done each morning. Level 3 is definitely hard but I found myself enjoying it more than the previous level. Keep up all the good work!!!

    Okay awesome! Thanks! That body resistance strength training is way harder for me than using dumbells so I might be in for it! I'm really going to give it my all with NMTZ and RI30 for the next while.....I want to see what the results are like doing those 2 like 5 times/week so it might be a bit before I get over to that one!

    Me too! Day 2 week 3 and I'm the same with these videos....I have never done DVDs at home this consistently before.....and I actually look forward to doing them (most of the time lol). I agree, level 3 was a bit of a surprise to me and I also found myself enjoying it more than week 2. I actually didn't burn as many calories today as I did in week 2, but maybe that's because it was my first time? I'll monitor it and see how it goes!

    Ok. I did my first day of Jillian's ripped in 30. Holy crap lol! I did it this morning and my stomach hurts already. And I couldn't even complete the full sets of some things. I will do it until Thursday (I'm going away for two weeks and won't be able to do my workout videos there...) but I'm bringing my resistance bands for strength stuff and will walk with my 23lb son tied to me in a carrier every day. When I come come back I'll start week one again and do the full 4 weeks. I really hope I get better at it!! But I have to say that I'm proud of myself. I weigh 243 lbs and I worked my patooty off!! :)

    Well done! That's brilliant :D
    I actually think (so far) that week 1 is harder than week 2 - I guess it's the bigger cardio movements in it.
    I still can't do crow push ups, or pull myself up my leg - so I cheat and hook my leg on the chair so I still feel it in my abs but I don't pull my leg towards me.
    Still, after week 2 day 5, I think my arms are getting stronger since I can do the plank workouts for the cardio for the most part. My stomach still looks awful, but I may have found a trigger for that. Rule 1 - cut out the fizz, or at least limit it to once or twice a month as a treat instead of once or twice a week because I can.

    I really hope it gets "easier" in the sense that I csn feel myself being able to do the moves better. I had to stop alot of the moves a but sooner than the full counts. And some of the bursts of cardio I had a difficult time completing. I did modified on most moves, but really tried to do everything as long as I could. I feel it, for sure. I'll be doing it again tomorrow!

    Day 2 week 2 for me.

    Not really happy, put on 2lbs and not lost any inches this week! Is this normal? I haven't been bad and done RI30 5 days last week, 2 forced off days.
