Movie Reviews of Get Ripped! with Jari Love
Movie Review: Ouch! I Love This Workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a heck of a lot of workout DVD's, and all of Jari's Get Ripped DVD's are among my favorite for weight lifting days. I have been at it for a month now and already I see some new muscle tone. These videos are also WAY less boring than lifting weights at a gym. An hour is over before you know it, and if you use an adequate weight for your fitness level, you REALLY feel like you hit the muscle groups that were worked. I feel just as sore after Jari's videos as I did after a workout with my personal trainer, only working out with Jari is much less expensive! Movie Review: Awesome workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first "Jari Love" experience, I rented the DVD from Netflix, did it this afternoon, and although I hurt (ha ha), I am here on Amazon to buy my own copy. This is a wonderful, unrushed workout done by a woman with an awesome physique who is encouraging but not fake and overly peppy. You will get a challenging full-body workout from this DVD, but it is one of the best, no possibly *the* best exercise DVDs I have ever done. With most exercise DVDs, the instructors are forced to rush you through moves (doing 10 reps when they know you should really do 30 to get results) because most likely there is a studio exec standing in the background with a sign that says, "Hurry up! Time is money!". You don't get that rushed, overly commercial feel from this DVD or instructor at all. I love that it's not gimmicky (the instructor and a few other background exercisers use specific equipment, but another exerciser substitutes hand weights). Best of all, I LOVE that it's going to give me results!! Karen Voight has been my long-time favorite exercise DVD instructor, but now she has competition, from Jari Love.Movie Review: Boring!
Summary: 2 Stars
Granted, Jari looks great and she isn't the perky, annoying fitness instructor one often gets on a workout DVD. But, that being said, she's too slow & boring for me.
The exercises itself might indeed work great and get you 'ripped' over time, but I find myself rather watching 'normal' tv 1 hour while lifting weights than popping in this DVD. To me, working out must be fun and I clearly don't enjoy this one! (Actually none of her workouts work for me, personally. I rather stick to the FIRM and Tae Bo!)
Movie Review: Grow with this Workout
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the 'easiest' of Jari's workouts. There are less reps and sets than in her other videos which makes this a good beginner to intermediate workout because it's so doable and like another reviewer said, no dread factor. So, knowing that, enables me to pick up heavier weights than I otherwise would with here other workouts. I agree that in general the ab exercises are not that tough and should be longer. So, I always add wrist and ankle weights (which makes quite a difference) and sometimes just repeat the ab section. The only thing I miss are the chapters that her other workouts provide where you can easily pick the exercises you want to do or skip over. Nevertheless, I like this workout well and am giving it 4 stars.Movie Review: If you like Body Pump steer clear - not challenging enough!
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been a fan of Body Pump for a few years now. I had bought a weighted bar set and a VHS years ago from Costco. I also had a roommate who was an instructor so I had access to her instructional tapes that I could do at home. These were video taped classes in a gym starring the Body Pump creator.
I was so excited when I read about Jari Love in a recent magazine reviewing workout DVDs. Her newest DVD "Get Ripped and Chiseled" came highly rated. I also read numerous glowing reviews of all of her DVDs on Amazon and Collagevideo.com. I bought all 5 of her workouts with high expectations.
I just finished "Get Ripped" and I am so disappointed. It was not high rep and I did not find it difficult. I had to raise my normal Body Pump weight and I still barley broke a sweat. And to top it off it was kind of boring. The music was monotonous and I wasn't very motivated. The squat and lunge portion was way to short. My shoulders were the only part of my body that felt worked after this gigantic waste of an hour workout. I like to feel like I can't squeeze another rep out by the end of a set.
I am only able to workout while my toddler is sleeping so I want a lot of bang for my hour workout. This did not fit the bill. I hope her other workouts will be more challenging. On a positive note the workout is very well put together and would be great for a beginner.
