Certified instructor description: Four progressively-more-intense aero/tone interval programs. The first is less intense than the last, but none of them are “easy.” In fact, Jillian’s legendary in-your-face motivation is even more “bad ass” than usual (“I want to see smoke coming off your butt!”). They’re all structured in a consistently effective format — three minutes of toning, two minutes of cardio and one minute of corework. The exercises are tough — often the most challenging variations of proven classics (e.g. not just basic crunches, but full sit-ups; not just jumps, but high-off-the-floor jumps). One exerciser does show easier options. Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g. 3 lb. and 10 lb.). ©2011. DVD has: Spanish cuing option, Region 1.

Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30

This works!
Like this video. Really kicks your butt in 20 minutes, some workouts more than others. Really focuses on the upper body and not just using weights. In certain cardio segments, you are in plank and pushup position the whole time. You'll see results. - posted by Sandi on 5/4/2013
My newfound favorite!
This is my new favorite fitness DVD! Jillian is a great instructor and really cares about your form and progression. Personally, I find her wit entertaining and she motivates me. These are effective workouts that have me dripping with sweat. I am an intermediate to advanced exerciser in my mid 30's and own many fitness dvd's, this is by far my favorite. - posted by Sarah on 5/2/2013
she's the best!
Another great Jillian workout CD for my collection! I really love her as an instructor, yeah some things she says can be a bit annoying over & over again, but who cares, her workouts are killer. I do wish she would come out with another kettle bell & yoga workout CD's. I have both and they are so much better than any others I've tried. - posted by patti on 4/26/2013
Effective video and you complete a lot in 30 minutes
I really love this video, especially being only 30 minutes. It fits into my busy day. I was never a big fan of Jillian as she yells at people so I was not sure about purchasing the video. I am finding out that I love the workouts but she talks way to much and she sometimes forgets to do the other side on a few of the exercise. I would recommend this video, if she gets on your nerves, just put your music on and mute her. It really helps. - posted by Melissa on 4/18/2013
even i can sqeeze this in my day
As a mom of 3 kids under five I'm cramped for time. The is very effective. I've only lost 5 lbs but that's fine as I didn't gain baby weight.. what I did get was loose stretched skin and weak ABS. So this has helped tightness and strength. And overall toning and energy. - posted by Sheera on 4/8/2013
Great workout!
Perfect for a 6 day a week 30 minute heart pumping workout. Lots of planks and pushups, be careful with bad shoulder. By week three I noticed more shoulder strength, less pain. - posted by Kim on 3/7/2013
Exactly what you want from a workout tape
I've been doing this for 2 years now. The first time I followed it to the letter and lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt really healthy and my energy was way up. Then I stopped for about 4 months and gained 10 pounds back. I just started it 2 weeks ago again and have lost almost 10 pounds already! This DVD is really good; it will work more than once, and it's so affordable! I might get another copy because friends are always asking to borrow it! I highly recommend this DVD... btw I love Jillian! ... most days :) - posted by Grace on 3/5/2013
Very effective
I started out with 30 Day Shred, and then did Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism for awhile. Both helped me trim down and firm up. However, I think Ripped in 30 is an even better workout. My muscles became firmer and my clothes looser. I like the variety of the four workouts - weeks 1 and 4 are my favorite. I think week 3 is actually the hardest. At age 53, I do modify it some for a lower impact, and do some of the beginner exercises, but it still works great. I don't mind her drill sergeant persona, because it motivates me. A couple of her remarks to the other women made me squirm, but after using it for awhile, I get used to it, and start to ignore it. Overall, I highly recommend this DVD for a short, effective workout that will get you toned and lose fat. - posted by Sherry on 3/4/2013
Tough, Effective, and Annoying
I have been doing this video 3 days a week for 11 months now. Typically, I get bored with workout tapes quickly but having the 4 different workouts allows me to change it up and makes this video a great value. The workouts are effective and I still struggle to get through them depending on my effort. My life is busy and I like that I get a good all-over workout in under 30 minutes. It works; I see the results and love how toned I have gotten. I don't like week 2; it's too much up and down for me. I don't like Jillian blabbing the whole way through the workouts. Literally, there isn't a second she's not talking. Just be quiet for a minute or two between cuing please! I turn the volume really low now so I don't have to listen to her. I tried to completely mute it but you need the cuing when you can't see the screen. I also don't like her drilling the other girls. How about pointing out their perfect form on doing a particular exercise instead of yelling at them or trying to mess them up? I'm ready for a new video now. I like her workouts but I don't think I can take listening to her for another year. - posted by Chir on 2/26/2013
I love it!!
This is the best workout I have done in a while. It really challenges me, but somehow the time it takes allow me to complete it! Thanks to Jillian for putting out such a great workout video. - posted by Jennifer on 2/1/2013

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Spanish cuing option
X
In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.
Region 1
X
This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
