Good workout - Rating: 4/5
This is a good video similar to Body Pump classes. If you can get
past that Jeri is kind of flighty with her commentary..."can you hear my heart rate, well you might not be able to hear my heart rate but you can hear my breathing" and nonsense like that. I'd recommend it for anyone that is bored with just trying weight training on their own.
Jari Love's Extremely Ripped DVD - Rating: 5/5
Jari Love's Extremeley Ripped DVD was amazing. It was very challenging but Jari made it easy to follow. I have all the latest fitness DVDs and find Jari Loves to be the best. I fully recommend all levels of fitness to try Jari's Workout!

Great workout - you can get past the outfits and the chatter, I promise - Rating: 4/5
I have a few of Jari's Ripped videos and I like them all. This is a hard workout that will make you sweat (if you are a sweater unlike Jari apparently) within the first 5-10 minutes. This is probably the most unprofessional-seeming video of the ones I have done from this series though. A few of the exercisers in the video have really bad form in several different tracks that I find to be really inappropriate to people who may not be advanced and still trying to learn. It seems like they are tired and getting a little lazy in their movements. If you are more advanced, then it probably won't affect you since none of the moves are novel here - it's all stuff we've done before but this is to the extreme on the reps, per Jari's usual style. I enjoy this workout and will keep it in the rotation for a while until I find something else to keep me motivated and it (along with the others I own from this series) is giving me results I haven't gotten in the past 2 1/2 years of weight training. I do the entire hour or so workout with the step though and not just one segment. The downside is that Jari is more chatty and a little patronizing in the video so you have to deal with that. The leather pants are a bit ridiculous too, but I forgive her for that one. I get that she was going for a silly theme there, but she should stick to the stuff she is best at -- kicking our rears into shape and who cares what they wear or how much they sweat or breathe out loud...
Ignore the negative reviews! - Rating: 5/5
I have Slim & Lean, Ripped to the Core and this AND guess what, I use this the most. I find this workout very efficient and because it's shorter than S&L and RTTC, I have the option of adding a little more cardio at the end. That combination works well for me. If I don't get to add my cardio routine, I don't feel bad at all 'coz 10-15 min. into extremely ripped workout 1, I'm dripping with sweat-meaning this is more of an aero/tone rather than just a muscle toning routine. The warm-up, abs section, cool down and stretch are just right and if Jari's form is not the best in this video, just watch Kirsten [the lady on the right/Jari's left] if you're a beginner and if you're intermediate or advanced, you should execute the moves with proper form 'coz you know that already....
About the negative reviews, dark set, dark outfits, harmless comment to Kirsten, I think it's blown out of proportion. Really, focus on the actual workout and you'll be thankful you have this. Some compound exercises are awkward the first few times BUT with time and practice, you'll be fine..
This is a keeper! I highly recommend this DVD. Oh, I've done workout 2 but I'll reserve that when I get bored with workout 1.
Great workout - Rating: 5/5
This is a great change of pace from Jari's other workouts. It is very intense, and the playful chat and shiny pants don't change that. I appreciate having a shorter workout that still seems to hit every muscle group and get me sweating. Jari is continues to be my favorite instructor!
