Jari Love's Get Ripped! Slim & Lean |
 Keeper |
| This video has 12 Chapters. When I am pressed for time I complete the warm up and cool down then 3 additional chapters. Makes a nice 30 minute work out. You feel it if you follow her instructions on increasing the weight. - posted by Sue on 2/13/2010 |

| OUTSTANDING |
| I'm 52 and recently took a four hour skiing lesson one morning in Salt Lake City, then skied that afternoon and the entire next day. I was not sore at ALL and when people asked me why, I told them JARI LOVE!!! I have all Ms. Love's DVDs, do them regularly and I recommend them highly! - posted by Susan W. on 12/28/2009 |

| My favorite Jari workout...so far |
| I LOVE THIS WORKOUT! Yes, there are a lot of reps and that is why it works. There is no dread factor with this for me even knowing what is coming. My favorite used to be Ripped 1000 but my toddler running around makes it difficult to incorporate a step. Enter S & L. This really works me out. Jari uses a lot of pulsing and isometric holds in this one. I can now do the pushup series on my toes, something that I never accomplished after 17 years of faithfully exercising- until now. There is a lot of room to grow with all Jari's workouts- simply increase your weight. I definitely recommend this one. - posted by Melissa on 11/13/2009 |

| Even better than the first |
| This video serves as a more advanced version of the Get Ripped! video. Instead of doing maybe 8 - 16 reps of a particular exercise then moving on to something else like other weight videos I've tried, Jari goes through at least 60 or more reps on just about every exercise set. What I found so great was that I started seeing new results after about a month when I added this video to my routine, even though I've been using exercise videos for a number of years. I found it very easy to change weights as necessary when building up strength. As an added bonus, the music is also much improved. Now, this is the way I like it! - posted by CS on 9/6/2009 |

 Much, much better! |
| I was hesitant to purchase this new DVD you did. I have to be honest, I found the other ones very boring and your personality was ho-hum. You were just too serious for my liking. Jari, you rock in this one and show that you are a real person! I love the fact that you joke around with everyone doing the workout with you. We get to know the other girls - I would have liked to see Mark a little more - he seemed hidden. It also was great to hear that even you are sweating. This one is a keeper and can't wait for another one. - posted by Alison on 5/15/2009 |

| Love this workout |
| I love Jari, I think this workout is just the right length and the time flies for me. If you want to see results, her workouts will make that happen. - posted by Mary on 4/6/2009 |

| I Think Her Workouts Too Long |
| I have 3 Jari workouts, but I hardly ever do them. They are too long. I start to lose focus when I do so many reps. I know I am in the minority. I just prefer heavy weights. One thing I don't understand is when she says she usually doesn't do abs. Then why do her abs look like that" - posted by Robin on 3/30/2009 |

| LOVE IT |
| This is a great focused workout for beginners and advanced exercisers alike. If you are familiar with body electric workouts it is very similar, you work every muscle group to fatigue and then move on to the next group. It is chaptered so user can customize it to your particular needs. Excellent instructor! - posted by kim on 3/23/2009 |

| Phenomenal! |
| I am a Cathe fan and am just discovering Jari Love. This is my first Ripped Workout and am in love. This workout will definitely get results and yes, you must use the correct amount of weight to really challenge your muscles. I like that this workout is super intense and yet, doable. Jari's "matter of fact" manner of training really appeals to me and although there are others in the workout, it feels like a personal training session and not "classy" like a lot of other weight workouts. A winner! I will be purchasing more. - posted by Mish Jackson on 3/16/2009 |

| Great workout for beginners and beyond |
| This was the first Ripped! workout that I had ever tried. I found it challenging and do-able all at the same time. I hadn't really been working out before I tried the Ripped workouts and found that this was a great and fun way to get back in shape. Jari's genuinely positive attitude and encouragement really helped me push through the toughest parts of the video.
I was so surprised when the video was over. Usually workouts seem to drag on but this really flew by. I loved all of the variations in the movements and exercises and while the video is fast paced you never feel rushed.
I started doing Ripped workouts with no step and very little weight (think soup cans and 3 pound dumbbells). When my fitness started to improve I noticed the workouts were getting much easier and I was less sore so I added a step and heavier weights, that brought the intensity right back up for me. There are many great modifications to make the workout easier or more challenging to suit your needs.
I have been doing Ripped! workouts now for about a year and a half and have lost 72 pounds in total! The videos have helped me not only in drastically improving my fitness level but also by giving me a good starting point in changing my lifestyle.
Give it a try, you have nothing to lose but the weight! - posted by Sonya on 12/30/2008 |
