Jari Love's Get Extremely Ripped! 1000 |
  Extremely Ripped!1000 |
| I love Jari's work out style. I have and love several of her DVD's. This is a good DVD for interval training. The cardio segments are great but the muscle toning is not long enough to fatigue a specific muscle group. I like this one for days I need a cardio work out. - posted by Tina on 8/19/2010 |

| Best |
| Great. I love the break down. I love the fact that you can pick which portion you want to do or choose all. - posted by Antoinette on 8/13/2010 |

| Break a sweat |
| Good workout - like the option of doing one or both workouts together. Jari is a bit of a goofball - "luscious Leslie" looks completely stunned by the nickname. Not the best ripped workout but still fun. - posted by Steph on 8/10/2010 |

| Great Workout! |
| First of all, I must say I don't understand some of the negativity about this workout. Jari jokes around from time to time, which actually makes me laugh while I'm doing the workout. I love the 3 minutes of cardio along with the compound toning. I am sweating buckets! I like how I have my choice of what level to do, so it all depends on me and what I can physically handle. I've had three foot surgeries, so if I feel I can't do too much jumping, I modify it, but still feel the intensity. I do use the step off and on....depending on the particular exercise. Yes, it adds major intensity. The cardio moves do not have to be complex to be beneficial. Jari definitely believes in old school basics. Why? Because that is what works, and is what has always worked. Jari is thin, but not overly thin. Everyone has different body types. Some of the other exercisers had more muscular arms. Personally, I think they all looked great, and it was obvious they were fit. This is my third dvd from Jari, and I intend to buy more, because her workouts are definitely plateau busters! - posted by Brenda on 8/7/2010 |

| A little dark and boring... |
| Out of the Jari workouts that I own (ripped 1000 & ripped 2 the core) this is my least favorite. Yes, it's a good sweat with lots of cardio. I don't seem to get much burn from the weight segments. It's broken down to 3 minutes of cardio, the same move just excelerated up and 2 minutes of weights. The setting is dark and I dread doing it because of that. Jari kind of makes fun at the other people in the video "Lushish Leslie with 7 kids!" or "Marvelous Mark!"...I felt bad for them! I know this burns a good amount of calories, but with the dark dark setting, neverending cardio..I only seem to get the premixed 30 minutes in rather than fighting through the whole workout. It's just okay compared to some of her other ones! - posted by Firecracker on 8/1/2010 |

| why a "staff favorite"? |
| I have to review this again. I just pulled it out again recently after reading all these positive reviews. By twenty minutes into it I was bored out of my mind. It is NOT that tough of a workout, it is just incredibly boring. Jari is anorexic-looking and her form is lacking. The editing is at times very amateur.....and the counts are wrong. If you did this video exclusively you would develop aches and pains related to muscle imbalances from doing more reps on your right side than your left. The music is uninspiring. Yes you can get a good work out from it....I always say you get out what you put in....but you are also likely to get some kind of injury. Why this is a "staff favorite" is beyond me. I also noticed that this was one of FITNESS mags' "top ten exercise videos" for this year. I wondered about that, til i saw that Jari Love is on the fitness mag advisory board. Hmmmm. If you want a decent Jari video, get "ripped to the core"....it still has some bad form and mistakes, but at least it is fairly symmetric and the workout is pretty balanced. Honestly I could not do this workout more than every now and then. I am 47 yrs old, a physical medicine and rehab MD, and I know a bit about exercise physiology. Buyer beware. - posted by ayla on 7/29/2010 |

| Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! |
| I love this workout. It was challenging, changing and I really liked the time countdowns. Love the interval training and the different levels presented if it's too easy or too hard. As good as being in a great live interval class! Highly recommend!! - posted by Lisa on 7/29/2010 |

| Love it! |
| I haven't done the entire workout yet, just the 30 minute part 1 and part 2 intervals separately. I love Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred because it is short and intense and that is what I love about this video also. For 30 minutes, you really sweat and get your heart rate up and feel like you had a really good workout. I like workouts that don't waste my time with stuff that doesn't challenge me, and this one is definitely a challenge! I also like that you can do it with or without a step for more or less intensity. - posted by Amie on 7/28/2010 |

| Get Extremely Ripped |
| I find the workout challenging and I can feel the difference in my body after 2 weeks. I don't find the repetition of movements to be excessive, it gives me time to get in the rhythm and get my heart rate up. My only criticism is that I wish there was better music. - posted by Victoria on 7/23/2010 |

| Jari Love |
| I really like most of her workouts this one included. I am an advanced exerciser and find this workout to be a challenge. Jari is likable, fun and upbeat in all of her videos but especially this one!! - posted by Chrissa on 7/17/2010 |
