Jari Love's Get Ripped & Chiseled |
 Excellent Workout!!! |
| I've been doing Jari Love's workouts consistently for months now, and I already feel like I'm in better shape than I have been in a long time. After three foot surgeries, I was doubting I would ever get in top notch shape like I was in my 30's. I used to do all kinds of high impact activities, such as running. I did tons of cardio and lifted weights. Now, I feel I'm getting optimum results by cutting back on my cardio and focusing more on weight training. I'm almost 48 yrs old now and I feel fantastic! I've been doing ripped 3x a week, and I alternate between this one, slim and lean, and core. I have 5 of Jari's workouts so far, and definitely plan on getting more. My husband and friends even tell me that just by looking at me I don't need to go to the gym. They say I'm getting it all done at home. My husband said I have better results with Jari's workouts than I do when I hit the gym. I went on vacation recently and joined a gym for 1 month. I went all the time, and still put on a couple pounds. (His mom also made excellent apple pie, which didn't help my waistline)! When I got home and got back into doing Ripped, the pounds and inches melted right back off. I'm telling you, please get this workout. It is absolutely phenomenal!!! - posted by Brenda on 11/12/2011 |

 effective workout |
| I have owned this dvd for sometime, but never used it. Looking for something different to break up my rotation, I popped it in. I have been doing it 3 days a week since August. This is tough, even for advanced weight lifters. Jari and her team are excellent. I do the entire workout and feel amazing afterwards. I am toned, not bulky. This dvd may seem overwhelming as Jari does alot of reps but you will fly thru it after the first month. I am especially impressed with Gaylene, this woman is 57 years old and you must see the phenominal shape she is in. Get it, challenge yourself, you wont be disappointed.(Four stars for the long breaks between exercises). - posted by helena on 10/22/2011 |

| Great burn |
| Being accustomed to working out with heavier weights and lower reps, I was initially wary that this workout would not be to my liking. Boy, was I wrong! Using dumbbells ranging from 5 to 12.5 pounds and a step, I got a great burn and kept my heart rate elevated the entire time. Jari's style appeals to me because she is not overly peppy and cheerleadery. I do not feel that she lacks personality. She sometimes comes across as a bit ditzy, but I think that's cute. This workout was very easy to follow with straightforward choreography and classic exercises grouped in supersets. No need to re-invent the wheel! As previously stated, there is not much time to set up before moving to the next set of exercises, so I hit pause a few times. It did not impact my liking of the DVD. This is a keeper. - posted by Jennifer B. on 9/8/2011 |

| A must get |
| If you want more than just calorie burning then this is a strong choice. You will tone and shape your body, giving yourself that shape that you have always wanted. When you get the half hour in your day to do something nice for yourself, put on any one of Jari's videos and it feels like your with friends. The more energy you have, the more energy you will have for others... - posted by Betty on 8/1/2011 |

| great if you are injured and cant do cardio!! |
| although this isn't my favourite dvd because it doesn't have the amount of cardio that the ext. ripped 1000 and revved to max and bootcamp have. I recently injured my ankle and being a runner and cardio lover, I was limited to what i could do for workout. I found that this dvd made me sweat like none other and I swear I could feel my muscles toning as I was doing the workout. the lower impact was great because i was able to keep up with my gimped ankle. - posted by Stacy on 7/28/2011 |

| Great video |
| Just found a new favorite; love this video. There's a reason that this DVD is rated '5 stars' all around. It is a no-nonsense approach, but she gives adequate stretches in between to keep you from burning out. Easy to modify for your own fitness level. Motivating instructor, great exercises, zero wasted time! So glad I gave Jari's Get Ripped a try. - posted by Truth on 7/22/2011 |

| Full Body Workout |
| Though not the best videos of Jari Love, the dvd does provide you with a full body workout. I love the use of barbells and steps for dynamic options. Great cueing, and tests one's endurance. - posted by Carla on 7/21/2011 |

| Tough workout! |
| This is a tough workout that definitely leaves me sore the next day. I love how at the beginning of each track, they let you know how much weight each exerciser is using. I like to follow what Jari is using, and although the first time I thought the weight was sometimes on the light side, the number of reps make it very effective. - posted by Julie on 7/14/2011 |

| Great dvd for steady burn |
| This dvd is a great pick for developing lean muscle mass since it uses high reps. The dvd is not difficult but it will raise your heart rate and keep it steadily elevated. You will work your muscles out to the point of failure (when you can't execute another rep easily) and the burn let's you know that the exercise is working. Her choice of exercises are not boring , but her she is too mellow and it can be distracting. To make this an excellent dvd, she needs to be more into her workouts. A great contrast is Cathe Friedrich, dvds are comparable to Jari in terms of building muscle mass, but Cathe is more connected to the exercises and so you feel pumped working out with her. All in all, its a great dvd to keep in rotation and bust through plateaus. - posted by gilda reyes on 7/7/2011 |
