Jari Love's Extremely Ripped & Chiseled |
 Loved it but... |
| I love this video, it was straight weights which I love. I always feel my leg muscles after doing this workout. Some things I wish Jari would do, more premixes, shorter workout. I like doing the whole thing but don't have over an hour to do it. So what I have been doing is doing less reps so I can fit an hour workout in. I also don't like the upper workout and then a lower one. I would prefer 2 total body workout. Other than that I think this is a great video. - posted by Yvonne on 6/11/2013 |

| Another AWESOME Jari Workout!!! |
| This is another AWESOME Jari workout!!!She always delivers!!!I would definitely rate this as and advanced workout, since I almost cried twice during it(but I was able to complete!)For those of you that are "picky" about the Extremely Ripped workout "flaws"...this is Jari at her best!!Jari seems more professional and the "set" is not so dark.(I personally love all of her workouts despite the dark sets) but thought this would be of importance to some. I Hope Jari makes more!!! - posted by Jen B on 6/3/2013 |

| One of Jari's Best!! |
| I have Jari Love's Ripped and Chiseled, Ripped to the Core, Slim and Lean, Extremely Ripped, Revved to the Max, and her Ripped 1000. This particular one, along with Revved to the Max, both of which I ordered recently are my absolute favorites. It doesn't take heavy weights to feel the burn. I like how Jari lets both Leslie and Laurie lead in a couple of tracks. They both did an excellent job! The exercises are meant to deliver results, and I was quite sore the following day after doing it. The workout is long if I do the whole thing, but I feel so good after doing it. I like the premixes if I'm short on time. Having that option makes sure I have no excuses. Jari's workouts are awesome, and I religiously do Ripped 3x a week (when I'm home). My husband and I travel a lot, so when on the road, I bring resistance tubing and try to duplicate as many of her moves as I can with the tubing. Let me tell you, when I'm home, I never miss a workout with her. I even do her workouts in our travel trailer. I just pack my dvds and take them along with my dumbells, and I'm all set! Keep the great workouts coming Jari! - posted by Brenda on 5/27/2013 |

| Great Video! |
| I was skeptical when I first purchased this video but the instructor Jari Love does a fantastic job. The choreography, instruction, music and total workout is very well put together. I am a fitness instructor myself (just 6 hours per week) and I like to see what other instructors are doing so I have purchased many a video and this is definitely a good one! - posted by Sylvia on 5/15/2013 |

 Hmmmmm |
| I finally bought a Jari DVD after not buying anything new from her for years. I was skeptical about the dark set, the hollywood lights etc. I finally took the plunge and bought this DVD. It's pretty good. It's same old encouraging Jari and she has two other regulars lead segments which is a nice change. She also has some new moves and the sets are different and enduring - which for me is a good thing. That said.... The menu is so confusing. I did the upper body workout today and it was actually one hour long!! I did the warm up (which isn't bad) and then hit the upper body premix. There was no back or chest on there so I had to go over to the lower body premix to find it??? That is just odd. And - why advertise 2-30 minute workouts when neither premix is 30 minutes long. The lower body is actually just under 20 minutes minus the warm up???? For the workout - I give it a 4 stars. For the DVD set up - 3 stars. Oh - and she moves very fast with the weights in many parts - too fast, actually. I just did my own pace during those moments. - posted by Cathefan on 4/13/2013 |

| The old, wonderful Jari Love is back & is better than ever before |
| I have been doing Jari Love’s old dvds for 3 years now and I absolutely love them. I lost more than 40 kgs /88 pounds with her help within months. When I thanked her she even wrote me a wonderful personal e-mail. Unfortunately I did not like her next generation dvds that much and was going back to her old dvds even though I own her entire collection and faithfully buy her every dvd. I missed the old Jari. But her latest dvd “Ripped and Chiselled” has brought back that old Jari personality, style of exercises, motivation and moves that I love. This dvd has revamped and made one of her best dvds (Chiselled) even better than the original. I absolutely love this new DVD and I hope she continues this style. Well done Jari, this dvd is a winner.A+++ - posted by Lorelei on 4/11/2013 |

| It's Ok |
| First I have to say that I am more of a cardio girl than a weight girl. I like that this got back to non-compound weight work. I am so tired of lunges with flys, squats with overhead presses, etc. So this fit the bill for more traditional weight work. I found the sets a little too long for my tastes. I often skipped to the next exercise at about the last set. I add this on to cardio. Some segments I did it all. But frankly, I was getting bored. I thought Jari and crew seemed uncomfortable with the camera and comments seemed awkward to me. I will take this one out occasionally as I think it may grow on me, but not really jazzed about it. - posted by Cam on 3/26/2013 |

| My favorite new dvd! |
| I've been a fan of Jari Love for years but have to admit that I've been very disappointed in the last few she has put out. But Get Extremely Ripped and Chiseled is fantastic! It seems like a nice update to the way she used to be........good solid workouts with lots of reps to build muscle along with enough cardio to help burn the fat. The original Ripped and Chiseled has always been one of my favorite workouts and this will certainly hold a place along side it. I read a couple other reviews that asked for more stretching between exercises. I personally do NOT want anymore than is already in it. I'm on limited time and if I have a dvd with a lot of stretching between exercises I end up fast forwarding so I can do more of the workout. I also want to mention that the abs section with Laurie is great! Only 5 minutes long but it gets you, wish it were a little longer. Thanks Jari for putting this one out, it's great! - posted by Carmel on 3/2/2013 |

| Bringin' the Burn |
| I was a little hesitant to get this DVD, as I prefer compound exercises (double duty, aerobic, effective) and this features more of an isolation (targeting one muscle group at a time)approach. I was pleasantly surprised as this was a great muscular challenge that managed to keep my heart rate up for most of the video. I loved the new moves. The first track, a hovering type squat with no weights, is very effective. The decline pushups are pretty tough too. Though some of the upper body tracks seem to go on and on to the point of risking injury. I skipped ahead on a few tracks, I was feeling some moves straining my elbows (I was keeping proper form, it was just too many reps). Some people mentioned the set and lights as a negative, but really, who cares? I am doing the video to get a great workout and once I get the form down I am too busy concentrating on my form to be scrutinizing the set. Jari did a great job, and she is getting better with each video. - posted by Sierra on 3/1/2013 |

| Great Workout! |
| This was my first Jari Love DVD, the workout is challenging, especially the lower body for me. They use a step for part of the workout, I don't have one so I just do that part of the workout on the floor, or I use my fitness ball. The dark studio did not bother me, not sure why this is an issue for some. - posted by Carol on 2/28/2013 |
