Jari Love's Get Extremely Ripped! 1000 |
 WOW |
| This is such a great workout. The 3 minute intervals are a real challenge! Jari continues to stretch all of us to our limits and Extremely Ripped 1000 does not disappoint! Thank you Jari for another fat burning workout! I can say that your workouts are the best I have ever done! Keep it up! I can't wait for more! - posted by Karen on 11/18/2009 |

| This totally kicked my butt! |
| Wow!! I absolutely adore Jari Love, have been using Ripped & Chiseled for strength training, but wanted to get one good DVD that combined cardio with strength. I thought I'd do both workout 1 and 2, but only did 1. She alternates nicely between hard-core cardio and 1 muscle group, then cardio, etc. The jungle outfits are a little kooky, but Jari's her regular upbeat self. She provides 3 levels of intensity for each cardio workout, which was extremely helpful if you wanted to continue the move, just needed a 20 second reprieve! Hufffing and puffing after 10 minutes, and I consider myself pretty fit (work out 4-5 times per week, have done a half marathon). I highly recommend this DVD, you won't be sorry. - posted by Margo on 11/17/2009 |

 I agree with some of the comments... |
| But a dark set, ugly costumes and some hard to follow exercises, (that is what pause and rewind are all about), aren't a real downside for me, that's just the window dressing, The real meat of a workout is the exercises and I love her cardio exercises and the weight drills make me feel worked out. I wish Jari would give the legs a rest, I think she does WAYYY to many lunges and squats, (this is why 4 stars instead of 5), but I like her enthusiasm and the cardio really rocks and I do feel like I got some weight training too. - posted by Sazee on 11/16/2009 |

| Very Tough! |
| I do this workout with a step and it is very challenging! Jari is very likable. The moves are very simple but challenging at the same time. The set and music aren't the best, as others have pointed out, but aside from that, it is a great workout. I don't know if I have burned 1000 calories by the end but it is probably close! - posted by Sierra on 11/16/2009 |

| I LOVED IT! |
| I have all of Jari's workouts and before this, Ripped 1000 was my favorite. Now this Extremely Ripped 1000 is my favorite. I loved having more cardio and the segments were great! I was out of breath and loved it! The toning segments were just the right length for me since I prefer cardio over weights. The set is a little dark, but not enough to make me complain about the workout. I was so happy I tried this dvd. I almost didn't after Extremely Ripped--that one disappointed me (I couldn't get passed Jari's silly discussions with the other girls. I want to hear about the moves, not who has a baby-sitter.) I can't wait to do this workout again! - posted by Stephani on 11/15/2009 |

| Not What I Expected |
| I like many others was eagerly awaiting the release of Get Extremely Ripped 1000. I have every one of Jari's other DVD's and do them on a regular basis and have gotten fantastic results, especially in the arms and shoulders. And, I love the original Get Ripped 1000, so I was hoping for something really great. I was very disappointed with the whole routine. The cuing on the cardio sections could have been better. Plus, I think there are just too many cast members in the new Extremely Ripped series. There are 6 people on the new DVD's and only 4 on the original Ripped series. Its much easier to follow 4 people and the camera angle wasn't always the best. Did anybody get as confused as I did on that last weight combo? The forward lunge/backward lunge/side step/shoulder raise thing? Because everyone was turned to the side, I couldn't keep up with with which foot they were on. Also, I just didn't feel that I got a thorough weight training workout doing this routine. Granted, the time flew by because most of the time was doing cardio. Also, I didn't like the push-ups and abs being together at the end, I like a separate push-up track. The time between the tracks moved so fast that I kept having to pause and rewind the DVD player to keep up. I love compound moves and the mix of cardio, but I would prefer something more like Get Ripped to the Core and Get Ripped 1000. Those are classics. - posted by Amanda on 11/13/2009 |

| Very tough! |
| Wow! What a tough workout! This is different than Jari's older videos in that it is mostly cardio and there are no breaks. To the reviewer who mentioned the 3 minutes of jacks as the beginner modification I know! My calves were sore for days after that! She does show low jacks as a modification towards the end of the segment. If you're looking for a total body, kick butt workout that'll have you begging for mercy (but in a good way) give this a try. - posted by JF on 11/13/2009 |

| Disappointing |
| The modifications in this were disappointing. As an example: during the interval where it is 3 minutes of jumping jacks, the low impact modifier is doing 3 minutes of...jumping jacks???? And the abs....where are the abs? The ab section on her Extremely Ripped dvd was great, the one on this dvd was terrible. Overall, a huge disappointment. - posted by Danika on 11/11/2009 |
