Bottom line
Jari Love is known for her intense workout DVDs, and her Get Extremely Ripped (*Est. $13) is no exception. For more advanced fitness enthusiasts, this video offers a challenging routine that -- while not the most inventive workout to hit the market -- turns over serious results.
Trainer
Pleasant demeanor, but could benefit from more instruction: Instructor Jari Love is well known in the fitness DVD world. Her routines are based in classic workout moves, which -- while they may lack innovation -- are very effective. Reviewers say that while her instruction is pleasant enough, some of the more advanced moves could use more alignment tips. Also, while some reviewers like Jari's cheerful demeanor, others say that the chitchat between the instructor and fitness models feels awkward.
Workout
Classic moves based on time-tested methods: The video features two 30-minute heart-pumping routines using dumbbells and a step that can be done separately or in succession. Reviewers say that the routines provide maximum results in minimum time. The moves lack innovation, but the variety is excellent. Each routine begins with a cardio segment to increase heart rate, and uses high repetitions without rest time between sets to keep the heart rate elevated and caloric burn high.
Materials
A helpful Q&A is surprisingly informative. While Jari Love: Get Extremely Ripped includes few extras, the Q&A bonus section does feature some helpful, clear explanations for common fitness questions. Some user reviews note that the video production, set, music and fashions feel somewhat dated. (Considering it was produced in 2009, that might be why.) Lightweight dumbbells are required but not included for the workout.
