Jari Love's Get Ripped! to the Core |
 Challenging! |
| I have several of Jari's weight video's and this is by far, the most difficult. It's a good workout! Enjoy! - posted by Jan on 3/11/2010 |

 Too much resting |
| This is my first Jari video and I'm mildly disappointed. I really upped the weights the second time I did this workout and I could feel my muscles work more, but there's just too much resting in between exercises. The ab section is also a bit weak. All in all, a decent video that I'll probably keep in my rotation - I'll just keep upping the weights. - posted by Stephanie on 11/17/2009 |

| Favorite Jari workout! |
| I love this video! I'm at an intermediate level. I appreciate how Jari and her crew provide options for different levels of fitness with every exercise. That's definitely helped to keep me using this DVD for several months now. Overall, Jari's instruction is clear and concise. The compound exercises keep my heart elevated throughout the workout, too. One note: I don't like to warm-up with weights, so I normally that section of the video without them. - posted by Rachel P on 10/9/2009 |

| Great to see there is variety in Jari's videos |
| Wow, this was quite a shake-up from Get Ripped! and Slim & Lean. Jari has proven she can change her routines from time to time to bust out of any boredom. I found that I needed slightly lighter weights than normal, but this in no way made the video any less effective. I felt multiple muscle groups kept busy during each routine, just as Jari promises. I was nearly out of breath when doing the step set combined with the lateral raises, but boy do they work! On another note, I wasn't too pleased about the fact that at the beginning of the ab set, too much attention was focused on Ben, ie - doing the exercises the hardest possible way. Jari, please remember that using even light weights in those exercises is not the 'normal' way unless you are very very advanced. Also, I didn't particularly like the fact that the clock on the DVD is reset at the beginning to every set, I'd rather know how much time is left for the entire video. Just a couple of minor points. Overall, a great workout! - posted by CS on 9/6/2009 |

| I like the "Ripped" series |
| I was very focused on doing splits for several months, (Cathe and Amy Bento), and found I was starting to burn out on that and started to use the Jari DVDs I had bought some time ago and never really used much. This provides a much needed change and I am hoping it may break the weight plateau I have been on for the last month, (just can't seem to dump that last 6 pounds). I find Jari to be motivating and pleasant with good cuing and I like the diversity of people she has working out behind her. Each video has different exercises so I don't get bored. I recommend this series to anyone, even beginners can modify these and workout successfully as long as they follow the instructions at the beginning of each exercise track, (another great feature of the Jari DVDs). - posted by Sassy on 5/18/2009 |

| Like It, Don't Love It |
| This is more of the same from Jari. Same set, same music, same moves, same "I belive in you" and "You are worth it" comments. It would be great if Jari could mix things up a bit, but after doing her videos I have realized that if you have done one, you have done them all. This has some good exercises in it, but there is just too much stretching and down time between segments to even come close to burning the calories the screen shows. I will stick with Cathe from now on. - posted by Sarah on 5/6/2009 |

| Good |
| This is a pretty good workout, not as challenging as I was expecting, but I still felt like I got a decent workout out of it. Personally, I don't like warming up with weights, and I never feel that Jari spends enough times working the abs. I could also do without the "I believe in you" comments, but she seems to do this in all her vids. - posted by Julia on 4/24/2009 |

| Love |
| I just finished this for the first time this morning and I loved it. I followed the modifier being my first time and used between 3 and 8 lb weights. Very well produced. I did have to pause it once on the step offs with the lateral raised but that is ok. She says to pace yourself and also emphasizes not to go to heavy because of all the reps. I am intermediate and I will use this often. Now I have to get the rest of the series. - posted by Vicki on 2/28/2009 |

| Love This! ~ Great workout! |
| This is my first and currently my only Jari Love DVD. I was ready for a tough workout the first time so I used only body weight and 3lbs dumbbells. I got through the workout better than I expected and felt great. Boy, Oh Boy was I feeling it the next day - indicating what a great workout it was. I love the high reps and this workout. As stated this is currently my only Jari Love workout but not for long. I'm looking forward to more workouts with Jari. - posted by DeeAnn on 2/19/2009 |

| MY FAVORITE BY JARI!!! |
| I have 4 out of 5 of Jari's videos . This is my favorite!!! I enjoy reading the reviews on her other videos and all of the different opinions about which one is "BEST". I rotate the 4 that I have... but I must say RTC is my favorite!! I am at an intermediate level, to me this is the most fun of the series. Followed by R1000. I feel like I am getting the most for my time with the compound excercises, working multiple muscle groups, I find to be more fun. S and L sometimes bores me, chiseled is a ton of upper body and no abs. This is an AWESOME W/O with diffferent moves. 5 STARS!!! In my book!! - posted by ted on 1/22/2009 |
