 Some good, Some bad December 28, 2009

I'm a certified personal trainer and I like working with various fitness dvds because it's interesting to see how various folks put together their programs.
This dvd has some good overall exercise selection (though I have reservations about some), decent form pointers but I do have issues regarding safety concerns.
The lack of a more thorough warm-up concerns me. I don't feel there's enough there to properly prepare one for the coming workout. I did a bunch of warm-ups on my own.
Repetition tempo: I like the "idea" of the variety of tempos within the exercises but felt her "singles" are too fast for eccentric loading with these types of exercises and could put a lot of people in unnecessary danger, especially for the deadlifts, pullovers and "biceps" curls (which obviously work all the elbow flexors not just the biceps).
Here's just a few observations regarding certain parts of the dvd.
Dead lift/Bent over rows: Dead lifts are a great full body exercise but Bent over rows, even though very common, aren't a good risk versus reward choice. One arm rows are much safer while still being very beneficial.
Again, the fast single count eccentrics make both the Deadlifts and Bent over rows very high risk and definitely not worth the reward.
Skull crusher/Triceps press combo: Interesting combination to use with Dumbbells. I think that doing the close grip triceps press with a barbell can put unnecessary pressure/stress on the wrists (I did all the exercise w/ DBs).
Seated Lateral Raises: These tend to be safer shoulder exercises than overhead presses for many people so I like her choice of exercise, still I think doing them from a standing position (especially a split stance) is better because you integrate your body more and the feet are a better base of support than the glutes. I think seated positions can put unnecessary stress on the spine.
Abdominals Section:I tend not to be a fan of crunches or oblique crunches because most people don't need extra spinal flexion as it puts unnecessary stress against the intervertebral discs. However if someone is going to do crunches I think they are much safer performed at slow tempos with a sustained contraction and using less reps. On Ripped they are performed at a fairly rapid tempo which can lead to poor form and the use of momentum. I feel that planks, side planks and rollouts are better for training the core's true function with less chance of injury to the spine.
 Good basic workout DVD November 21, 2009

I wanted to find a DVD that would give me a good workout without having too many different pieces of equipment - all I use for this workout is a set of dumbbells. I have this and "Get Ripped to the Core" and I really enjoy the workouts. Jari's voice is soothing, which I like, and she is very supportive while she talks you through the workout. The people in the workout are all doing the exercises at different ability levels and you are told to modify the workout to your own abilities and comfort level. I especially like that she counts the reps out loud so you don't have to look at the TV to make sure you're keeping up! I used Cathe something-or-other's video and hated it and sold it. I'm keeping these!
 Not tough enough November 20, 2009

I thought this DVD was going to kick my rear in the literal sense. Unfortunately it was more intermediate than I expected. I am a Firm junkie and do a lot of Cathe as well. I consider myself on the low end of advanced.
This is a nice workout and I will do it again. But it will enter my rotation as the workout I do when I am sore or tired from my more advanced tapes. It is NOT a cardio workout. It is all about sculpting, which is fine, just not what I really expected. There are also Cathe DVDs that are far more advanced for sculpting and weight work.
The workout did go by fast and she is excellent when it comes to demonstrating good form. She was not irritating and her background folks demonstrate lots of different modifications. You do need some equipment, but there are multiple ways to use what you have to make the most of the workout. If you do it just the way she suggests you need a barbell w/ about 20 pounds of weight, 5 and 10 lb hand weights and a step or bench to use for exercises where you are on your back. You can do the workout without the barbell, but you must have hand weights.
Great Workout! Good DVD. November 2, 2009

I received this DVD super fast! And in great shape. Would do business again. Jari always has a good workout. This one did not disappoint.
Great sculpting workout October 15, 2009

I just used this video a couple days ago and it was not what I was expecting--but I still feel it. That, I consider to be a very good thing. Jari Love is much more into dumbells and barbells than I am used to and I was hoping for more cardio. However, I actually think I like her workout as it is because there are a ton of cardio DVDs by other people and this is the first good weight training video I've seen, so it makes a good addition to my collection. Plus, the nature of weights means you can scale the difficulty of this up or down depending on what you want by changing your weights. For certain, if you use the right weights and try hard through this video, you will feel it the next day. The video quality itself (meaning the colors and picture quality) is lower than I expected but it is an older video so that's to be expected. And it doesn't interfere with the workout at all, jsut something that caught my attention. Jari is a good motivator and explains things well. She also has people behind her at different fitness levels doing just about every modifcation you might want to know so anyone can perform the movements. Defintiely one of my preferred trainers to watch.
