Still trying to figure out this thread....I'm 45, ran a full and half marathon this year....some of my friends in their 50's run faster than I do! What's this about slowing down? I run faster now and I'm fitter than I did when I was in my 30's. Life is what you make it, you can do whatever you set your mind out to do. Btw,…

Just started day #1 today, so no pics to show yet. But I have completed 30 DS and Ripped In 30, and it is very similar to those DVDs. Lot's of core work: planks, mountain climbers, burpees, etc. If you eat clean and give it your all you will see results with any of her DVDs...I'll probably do another one after this!

Great job, keep up the good work! Level 2 is tough but don't quit!!!

It's not age....I'm 45 and run half-marathons....and some of my older friends in their 50's OUTRUN ME!!! And I think I'm fast lol. So age in and of itself is not an issue.... I will say OP it's 80% diet, 20% working out....so watch what you're eating closely. In addition to diet you may want to start slow with…

Awesome job! And you can see how your confidence has risen with each photo.

Wow, great definition! I've done 30 Day Shred and Ripped In 30 in the past few months, in addition to running. I'm starting 6 Week 6 pack this week! Love all of Jillian's DVDs.
-
I think there is a misconception that you won't lose weight with 30 DS...you most certainly can. Now, it's more of a circuit training DVD so you'll definitely lose inches but that's just as important, too! Above all else though, be sure and eat clean...as you can eat your way through any amount of exercise. However, if you…

Wow, great job! I loved the 30 day shred as well...coupled with running it works wonders!
-
You look great! You have every reason to be proud. All of your hard work is paying off and I know it must feel good :)
-
I joined MFP with no weight to lose so I was basically in maintenance when I got here....basically had my set to lose 0-.2 lbs a month and that has worked for me. I set other goals such as completing 30 day shred, running a half marathon and a full marathon. So I would just say continue to set goals and you'll be fine. I…

MapMyRun for iPhone. I've run an 8k, 2 half-marathons and a full marathon with my iPhone strapped to my arm. Couple it with bluetooth ear buds and get real-time feedback on your pace/time/distance every 1/2 mile (or whatever you set it at). I don't run without it!
-
I completed 30 DS and Ripped In 30 while running 2-3 days a week...so both DVDs took me a little longer than 30 days. IMO the additional cardio certainly helps :)
-
I second this...definitely check your diet and make sure you're eating clean and drinking water...there is no way should gain weight and inches. I finished 30 Day Shred and Ripped In 30 and have never been more fit...love all of Jillian's DVDs!!!
-
Wow wtg! Jillian works!!
-
More than likely you'll see a gain because your muscles are retaining water....but if you eat clean and give it your all most assuredly you will lose weight. I completed it in 40 or so days and saw a big difference. Still, you have to get past the initial "inertia" to give up, especially in the first few days. It's tough…

MapMyRun on my iPhone. I've run an 8k, 2 half-marathons and full-marathon with it strapped to my arm. With bluetooth headphones, you get feedback on your time/pace/distance every 1/2 mile (or whatever you set it at). It's indispensable if you want to make a certain time during a race! I don't run without it :)
-
I completed it in 40 or so days, so don't worry about it if it takes you a little longer. I liked it so much (and felt such a difference) I bought Ripped In 30 on the 4th day!! I went to Level 2 a little sooner because Level 1 was easier, but don't let that fool you. It's a tough DVD and will require determination to get…
-
You're welcome! Look forward to seeing your Ripped In 30 results. It's a great DVD :)
-
I did 5 days at Level 1, 15 at Level 2 (the hardest!) and 10 at Level 3. I don't think there is any way you can "master" it if you are working hard. I was exhausted some days at the end of Level 2!! That's what she says, do you best and you will see results. Now, will I come back and do it again? Of course! I'm sure I'll…
-
Great job! I've never seen a DVD have such amazing results for everyone as much as 30 Day Shred, and for only $9-10! You should be proud. Look forward to seeing your results from Ripped In 30! :)
-
You said it, let's start there. Keep a daily log and stay within your calorie limits each and every day. Exercise when you can. Then, slowly work in healthy choices into your diet. It doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing thing. Replace mac & cheese with fresh veggies, for example. Replace a snack with fresh fruit. Water…
-
True! I think if you can get past the first couple days anyone can complete the DVDs. It was a change for me because I had never done core work before! I didn't know what a plank was, but Jillian loves them. Keep in mind Jillian works all muscle groups at once. She has a 3-2-1 system...3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of…

Great job! Definitely use the Modifier. She always has an advanced and beginner person working with her. You don't want to do so much the first day that it hurts your enthusiasm to continue! Go slow at first and work your way up...
-
Yes, I run 2-3 times a week as well. I think that definitely helped!
-
Haha, yeah a few people have told me that!! Thanks everyone for the compliments, I'll post my results from 6 Week 6 Pack after :)
-
I finished Ripped In 30 today! It's kinda like 30DS....
-
Congrats! Just wanted to add that yes, running works wonders. I have always been a runner. I ran track in h.s., and to this day run 2-3 times a week. This year I've run an 8k, half-marathon and a full-marathon. I'm currently training for an 8k and half-marathon in the fall. I plan on running 5-6 races a year. I belong to a…

This is after Jillian's 30 Day Shred and Ripped In 30 :)
-
Jillian most certainly recommends rest days. I completed the 30 days in about 40, but I was also training for a race so that limited my time. Only count the days you actually do 30 DS...
