Ripped with Hiit really leaned out my torso and Xtrain gave me strength and was super well-rounded. I think everyone would have a different focus and choosing which was best for them would be subjective. It would be great if you could try out both maybe with the "On Demand" service? I love mixing the series up with all the different rotations that Cathe has created. The Xtrain/RWH rotation was very challenging. Right now I'm doing S&S/RWH and it is a toughie, too!
