Gillian Michaels "Lose weight in 30 days" (Ripped in 30): video, description, review

Ripped in 30 by Jillian Michaels- new relative to her.

How exactly does it differ from the one mentioned?

Classes are designed for 4 weeks, the complex changes every week. Gillian does not demand daily classes (as in "Slim Figure") - if possible, you need to train 5-6 times a week. That is, let's say 1-2 days of rest. You can, for example, follow the schedule “ 2 days of classes- 1 day off - 2 days of classes-1 day off - 1 day of class"Or" 3 days of classes - a day of rest - 3 days of classes ".

Each lesson lasts 30 minutes (or a little more), so making time is easy if you set such a goal.

Life hack, how I motivate myself to classes. Knowing that the exercises will take only half an hour, it is easier to "persuade" yourself to practice. You just tell yourself that only 30 minutes! .. and tomorrow you can arrange a day off. But classes actually cause a lot of positive emotions: I could, I did, I can, I wow! And you are on such a rise that tomorrow's day off does not even beckon, you want to do more and more, become healthier and more self-confident.

And every time I remember the words of Gillian: "Your transformation is not some kind of future result, it is daily work on yourself."

Transformation is not a future event.
It's a present activity.

Who is this course for and how to take it

This course is for those who want to lose weight and tone their muscles.

The course is designed for healthy people.

The structure of each lesson is the same as in "Slim figure": warm-up, 3 blocks of exercises, cool-down stretch.

Each block consists of 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. All exercises are done in a row, without interruption.

According to tradition, Gillian has 2 assistants: one does the simplified version of the exercises, the other does the advanced level.

What is needed

• Gymnastic mat;
• comfortable sports uniform;
• comfortable sports shoes;
• dumbbells (at your choice, from 1 to 3 kg, depending on the preparation).

Together with the training program, Michaels offers. If you can stick to it, the effect will be much more significant.

Week 1

I came to this course “ready” (as it seemed to me), because before that I had been studying “Slim figure in 30 days” for more than six months. Therefore, at the warm-up stage, it seemed to me that the pace was insufficient, that "something could have been more difficult." But on the second day I realized that everything was as it should be. Krepatura was, but not large. Almost all exercises are new (although there are repetitions).

Week 2

If you've somehow managed to get by in class without the right toe-protecting sneakers, then it's time to put them on. Jumping hard in the plank position may not have the best effect on your legs.

Week 3

I was always sure that I have no problems with my knees. But this week I felt that from a more or less serious load they can be damn tired. In one of the power blocks, exercises were going on in a row: walking on arms and bent legs (shins parallel to the floor) and walking in single file. In general, the week is not difficult, the body gets used to exercises on the third day.

I really liked the warm-up with dumbbells (you can even use a small weight) for the back. In other complexes, Gillian has not yet had such an exercise. After it, a pleasant sore back muscles persisted for several days.

Week 4

"If you have passed all 3 weeks, then the fourth will not present any particular difficulty.", - I would like to write so, but - alas - this will not correspond to the truth (at least in my case). By the end of the second cycle of exercises, I lost count of the approaches, but I was so exhausted that I thought that this was already the final - third - cycle. Plank, balance exercises, push-ups ... The most difficult thing in the first lessons of the week was the "superman" with dumbbells. But what pride in oneself appears after completing the entire program!

Good mood and pleasant training!
