Jari Love's Get Ripped 1000 |
 Great, fun workout |
| I have about 4 jari dvds..and this is by far one of my favorites. Its a great mixture of cardio and weight training and the cardio parts are fun. I consider myself intermediate/advanced and this workout definately leaves me winded. - posted by valerie on 11/4/2008 |

| Excellent for advanced exercisers |
| I have been looking for several years for a workout like this. It's the perfect combo of no-nonsense cardio and weight training. I like that the cardio moves are not "dancy". I always feel good after completing this workout. I also like that Jari incorporates quick stretches after each segment. Thank you Jari! - posted by Amy on 11/1/2008 |

| Loved it - definitely a keeper. |
| This is a great intense workout, I think of it as a great weight workout with (a lot of) extra oomph ! It's definitely full body and I like the cardio spurts. Normally, I hate fast feet type drills but I can handle them for the 30 seconds or so that she does them. Full body, compound exercise is now my preference for weight workouts and this one fits the bill. I have and love Ripped to the Core as well - but wanted another and this is it. One definitely feels the burn. Yes, some of the changes are fast but I have enough room for my step that I put it on an angle so I can go to it as needed and still see the tv. I'm not big on her constant calf stretches after the cardio - I prefer to do some more moves to 'cool down' - such as step touches, ham curls, whatever. I see potential to grow with this one (increasing weight) and excellent cross training in terms of developing my anaerobic threshold, as well as my aerobic one. I too am a runner and this is just what I was looking for. - posted by CJ on 9/4/2008 |

| It's A Keeper |
| All I can say is WOW! I've been looking for a weight workout combined with cardio and this is it. I am an advanced exerciser (and frequent Collage Video customer) who runs 7 miles 3 to 4X a week and this is perfect for my alternate days. For those who complained about the step position and not getting their heart rate up enough, I just increase the weights and just do the aerobics at whatever angle my step is at. Oh - and the 72 push-up segment is amazing! You don't even realize that you've done that many the way she breaks it up. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get out of a fitness plateau... - posted by Kathy G. on 8/30/2008 |

| Great workout!!! Be ready to work! |
| I bought all 5 of Jari's videos about 6 months ago. I did this video along with the origial Ripped and Slim n Lean. I was bored with Get Ripped and the other 2 just didn't leave me excited enough to do again (I still have to try Ripped to the Core and Ripped and Chisled). Well I reached a plateau with the Firm and Body Pump and decided to give Ripped 1000 a 2nd try. WOW! I just loved it this time - no fuss or fluff. I felt like a felt like a football player running through the tires during a few of the drills. You really have to concentrate to keep the pace and maintain good form. Jari is great not bubbly and annoying. This is an intense almost serious workout - no instructor wohooing, no clapping or dancing. Just follow the video and work your butt off!!! Excellent for more advanced excercisers. Now I will go back and give Slim n Lean another try. This is just what I need to push myself- I can't wait to see the results!!! - posted by Nikki on 8/22/2008 |

| Amazing workout |
| I have been working out for a while now my family all train via "CrossFit" but that is too intense for me. I consider myself to be advanced, I do Jari's Core, Chiseled, Lean and 1000 with a cardio day in between. (If anyone can tell me what good cardio DVD's are out there I would love to hear!) Cardio for me is usually a 5K run/jog. Jari's DVDs are phenomenal, well cued and very motivational. Her approach is amazing and for those of you who question if this workout really burns 1000 calories, you should probably google "afterburn" and educate yourselves on what that means. An efficient workout taps out all of your carb reserves so you can go on burning fat and calories throughout the day. Jari is truly an inspiration, she wants us all to be in the best shape ever. For those of you who are down on her appearance...please. She is a beautiful strong woman and my Barbie never had abs like hers. For those of you who tripped or fell when doing the step work---Pay attention! I twisted my ankle doing a walking workout one time when I was pregnant but I wasn't foolish enough to blame the instructor on the DVD. Finally for those who didn't think there was enough ab work if you are engaging your abs (as she instructs) throughout the entire work out you are working your core. Have fun with this one and most of all find something that suits your style and continue with your workouts! Because truly I have found my style of workouts in Jari's Ripped series! - posted by Michelle on 7/22/2008 |

 Good, but not a barn burner |
| I consider myself at an intermediate advanced level. All in all, I felt like I got a good workout with this DVD, but I didn't really work up a good sweat. The cardio sections were intense, but too short to really feel like I had worked hard. There was so much stretching that I thought there was too much down time. I started to keep on with the cardio sections while she stretched. The weight sections were excellent, although I thought she needed more tricep and ab work. Jari has a no nonsense style. She is an excellent instructor, but I would have enjoyed more smiles and a little more fun. Cathe and Gin Miller are still my favorites! - posted by Bonnie on 6/29/2008 |

| I love this workout! |
| I just bought this workout a couple of weeks ago. I have The Firm weight training video and I was getting bored. I also needed to kick it up a notch. I love the way she cues you to switch legs on the step so you don't have to watch her. I have been working out for over 30 years and this one is wonderful. I am thinking of buying another of her videos. I am also starting to see results and that's saying something because I am very advanced. I would recommend this to anyone that is advanced. - posted by Cathy on 6/27/2008 |
