Jari Love is known for her intense workout DVDs, and her 2009 Get Extremely Ripped! (*Est. $13) is no exception. 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 stellar. Each routine begins with a cardio segment to increase heart rate, uses high repetitions and shuns no rest time between sets to keep the heart rate elevated and caloric burn high. Some user reviews note that the video production, set, music and fashions feel somewhat dated. Also, while some reviewers like Jari's cheerful demeanor, others say that the chitchat between the instructor and fitness models feels awkward. This version of Jari's routine is highly regarded, but users give the edge to the similar Jari Love: Get Ripped! 1000 (*Est. $15).
Jari Love's various workout videos appear frequently in professional roundups of the best fitness DVDs. Unfortunately, there isn't a clear consensus from professionals or users as to which of Love's videos reigns supreme. Still, CollageVideo.com provides a positive review of Get Extremely Ripped! from a certified instructor. The hundreds of user reviews on the site are also very detailed and positive. FitSugar.com provides a detailed review of this video and named it as one of the top fitness DVDs of 2009.
