Jillian's New Ripped in 30

[Guest guest]

A Non-Wii Workout YAY!

This morning busted the plastic off Jillian's Ripped in 30!!

The 4 workouts are the same format as her 30 Day Shred Workout with 3 minutes of strength, 2 of cardio (drill type) and 1 minute of abs. If you have done a Jillian workout, it is still Jillian with the push it through encouragement and combination strength lifts because she says doing bicep curls alone won't burn calories; you have to use the legs and arms together. I modified the cardio (except skaters) on the rebounder again. This worked extremely well because you are jumping a lot. You can have a 25 minute workout without doing the high intensity moves! She says she will not repeat exercises in the other 3 workouts. I

am currently previewing workout #2 and I have not seen a repeat from workout #1, however, some exercises are repeated from Shred, but not in the same order and not particularly in the same workouts. Despite

the not-so great kettlebell workout and the brief hawking of weight loss supplements, I really still do like Jillian. She does give you the best intensity in the short amount of time and gives a good structure that is easy to follow and stick with. I also believe that she truly does believe in what she does and she really wants everybody to share the feeling of good results from good eating and exercise. She probably got lost in the limelight and that sent her to promoting things that don't seem to fit into her original theories of fitness. There will be a Jillian rotation soon using her older workouts and her newer workouts and running(at least another week!) I can't wait because these

workouts are a perfect fit to get in your strength while focusing on endurance cardio.
