Jari Love - Get Ripped! Ripped & Chiseled (DVD, 2007)

The more I do Jari's workouts the more I like her. Her personality to me has a calming effect. I love this workout, because it really gets you good. It's definitely not for beginners. All of her workouts have in common that you don't have to think too hard to keep up or know what's next and some days that's just what I need. This one and Ripped to the Core are my two favorites.

Just Like the other videos with Jari Love.. Really enjoyed it, and was a much more intense workout then "Slim and Lean"

This an absolutely amazing workout. I have been running and weight training since I am 17 and am now 48 and I could barely get through it. This woman is tuff!!!!!! Great workout and I highly recommend it. I love the cut I am getting in my arms.

LOVE IT!! It is so much fun but a REAL workout!! I think I like it the BEST of the 3 other Ripped videos I have!!

I finally bought this workout after about 3 weeks of renting it. This is a great strength training workout that focuses mostly on the upper body, but there are a number of segments on the lower body as well. Each segment focuses on one muscle group at a time, and really works your muscles to fatigue, using dumbbells (although beginners may not want to use any weights at all) and a step (which is optional -- I found it easy to perform the exercises without it). There is a bonus abs section as well. This routine will get you sweating and your heart pumping, but it is not really a cardio workout. But if you are looking to add strength training to your regimen and want to add some strength and shape to your muscles, this is great. The stretching in between segments and after the workout are lacking; I personally would have liked a longer, deeper stretch, but that is my only major dislike. If you like the peppy, cheerleader-like personality of a Denise Austin or someone similar, you may not like Jari Love, as she is not overly talkative and over-the-top. I personally liked her style and this is one of the few workout videos I have been able to keep up with and not get sick of!

I recently gave up my gym membership and was seeing a quick loss of muscle tone in a few short months. I wanted a strictly strength DVD that targeted all the major muscle groups in an hour or less. This meets all of my criteria. It isn't a cardio workout at all although I do get a light sweat going during certain sets. It's very basic, but I was really sore after my first workout and I would call myself an advanced exerciser. Overall I really enjoy the mix of basic exercises and Jari and her class of participants are inspiring with their beautiful muscle definition at more mature ages. If you need a strength workout, this is a great one to insert into a weekly lineup.

It would be nice if you knew ahead of the next set starting whether you needed the step or incline or floor mat. You don't know until the set has started and you need to stop the DVD to get setup and then get back into your workout.

I enjoyed this workout as much as some of her previous efforts. Though I'm not sure how different it is from her original Get Ripped workout or from Slim & Lean, she hits all major muscle groups and exhausts them. Some of her between-reps stretch choices seem strange (she does quad stretches after every leg section), but it's not annoying enough to lower the rating. I'd recommend this workout to any exerciser - It's easy enough and challenging enough for all!

Excellent free weights workout at home. I bought it because it looked current, not outdated. It is current. Requires a few free weights. Has a good abs workout, too. The people featured are not kids, either. Great workout.

Easy to follow. Great workout for new and intermediate exercisers. Definitely feel the burn on this one!

The only thing I don't like is her cueing. She tells you which excersize is next but doesn't specify equipment needed. Otherwise a good, strenuous workout. Abs not included.

QUICK DELIVERY PLUS GREAT COMMUNICATION AND I'M HAPPY TO HAVE MADE THIS PURCHASE, LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE TRANSACTIONS!!
