Jari Love's Get Extremely Ripped! |
  Jari loves extremely ripped |
| This workout video was ok. It was hard to use heavy weights because you're doing a lot of reps of one exercise. It definitely made me sweat during the lower body portion of the workout. Probably a good workout for beginners to intermediate. - posted by Susan on 8/19/2010 |

| Incredible workout |
| I'm totally thrilled with the workout I get with Jari Love's "Extremely Ripped" DVD. I work out during my lunch hour, so having such a 'total body' workout makes the best possible use of my limited time. I'm currently 63 years old, and the options for using a variety of weights, depending on the muscle being targeted ensures I won't overextend my abilities. I will buy more of her DVD's any chance I get! - posted by Jean on 8/19/2010 |

| This DVD really works! |
| This is my favorite Jari Love workout DVD. I love that the exercises are so effective and easy to follow. I hate trying to keep up with complicated choreography as I lose focus. Jari's exercises are no nonsense and the methods uncomplicated yet you get an extreme workout that leaves you feeling strong and invigorated. You don't have to have alot of room to perform the exercises so it can easily go with you when you travel. When I first began doing the video, I can remember feeling the impact on my upper and lower body. It strengthens and tones and has greatly improved my flexibility and balance. Jari is a wonderful trainer and motivator. If you are a beginner, you will want to work your way up on this video slowly. If you are advanced, you will still find this video a challenge and one you will use over and over again. I once had a library of about 30 exercise videos but I have thrown most of those away as they were either too complicated or ineffective. Extremely Ripped is a keeper. Thanks, Jari! - posted by Stacy on 8/3/2010 |

| Tough! |
| Haven't even started doing this regularly because it is tough for me. This will do what it promises because when I did for the first time, I couldn't do the full 60 mins. I really like that Jari shows us different levels - some people use a step and everyone uses different weights, so I'll always have a people to follow. This is my first Jari Love dvd and now, I'll have to buy more because this one impressed me a lot. - posted by Didi on 7/11/2010 |

| Well rounded strength training video! |
| For individuals who seek to strengthen and build muscle, this video is designed for you. The routines are never boring and are easy to follow. There are various levels so you will never "outgrow" this video. All muscles are engaged and your heartbeat is always high, ensuring maximum calorie burn. This DVD is just as good as Jari Love's 1000 calorie burn (though the 1000 calorie burn video is better). A great workout is expected. - posted by Carla on 7/8/2010 |

| Versatile and challenging |
| Would I prefer a brigher set? Of course. But the workout is challenging. What I really love about this dvd is how versatile it is -- if you don't have time you can pick between 2 shorter 30 minute versions. That is why I love this DVD. Tough, challenging workout with a versatile menu. I can overlook some of the other stuff. - posted by Kim on 6/27/2010 |

| Reviews for Jari Love DVD |
| The 1st time I worked out with the DVD, I was disappointed. I was following Jari and it was not intense enough. The 2nd time through, I followed Laurie (in the back) using heavier weights and a step and felt like I got a much better workout. The DVD has something wrong with it though...towards the end when she is moving on to abs, the DVD pauses on its own (so a plank can last FOREVER!!) :) I should return it, but threw the receipt away, so I haven't bothered. I'm not sure I would order any more of her workouts...I love Cathe Friedrich, so I will probably stick to hers. But, I have always been happy with Collage Video, and will continue to order from your catalog. - posted by Lori on 6/24/2010 |

| Great job jari! |
| I really enjoy this DVD. MY heart rate was elevated and I was able to fatigue all major muscle groups. I enjoy workouts that do cardio and weight together. This is a great DVD for burning calories. - posted by Kumiko on 6/18/2010 |

| Good advanced video that feels like a workout in a gym with friends |
| I've done this video several times, and it does feel like you are having a Bodypump or weight training gym class at the end of the day, with people you've worked out with before, and the teacher knows you know the routine. It's very good, and the work out gear is not off-putting for people who go to gyms where it's routine to see people wearing work out clothes that they wear for part of their day. I live in a major East Coast city so you see this kind of gear all the time. This video a change-up from the other advanced videos I do. Jari has a responsible warm up and cool down routine. She takes responsibility for getting you through those important components, so you remain injury free over time. I've heard other posters comment on other videos "I felt sore so that is good, because I know I'm working." That's not a sign that it's good actually. You want to warm up and cool down thoroughly so that your muscle can recover in optimal time without soreness, which decreases performance. Jari has a guy in one of the videos who works out with her, who is an ultra-distance mountain bike racer, for example. This is a complex, advanced work out, you will have to look at all the people working out and not just Jari to get the positions and cues, which I don't mind. You can use a stabilizer ball instead of a step in many of the exercises, which has built my core very well, critical to developing a productive swim stroke. Athletes like me rely on Jari. She's like a personal trainer in your basement who is going to take you seriously, whenever you are ready. They show up dressed to kill, but you don't have to. I gave it a four only because her other videos I do I rely on even more. - posted by Training for Triathlons on 5/22/2010 |

| A real workout |
| I just read some of the other comments about her shoulders being rounded and the backround and set of the workout. She caught herself a couple of times with her rounded shoulders which is great. It actually makes her real. I really enjoyed the set...felt like I was at a club working out when actually I was just in my back bedroom in the country. This is a fun, easy to follow but will make you sweat workout. Liked the change. Keep it up Jari! - posted by heather on 5/6/2010 |
