| Kick Butt Workout! |
| I would consider myself an intermediate level exerciser, and I had been doing the original "Get Ripped" for about three months when I tried "Slim and Lean". It kicked my butt! I've been doing it 2-3x a week for almost a month and can definitely start to see results, especially in the definition of my arms and shoulders. I can tell I'm getting into even better shape because I am able to use heavier weights and can do more of the video without exhausting myself quite as easily, but I can still feel it in my butt, quads and arms/shoulders. This is the best strength training workout I have tried yet. I appreciate the fact that Jari is not overly peppy, just matter-of-fact and encouraging throughout. Each exercise is explained well prior to doing it, and there are modifications given as well. This is a great workout for all fitness levels, as beginners could start with very light weights or no weights at all, while intermediate or more advanced exercisers can use heavier weights and perform the most difficult versions of the exercises. I highly recommend this workout DVD! - posted by Lisa on 9/15/2008 |

Want a good upper body workout, well purchase these dvd and that's exactly what you will get!! - posted by Annie S. on 9/9/2008 |

| My favorite Jari workout |
| I love Slim & Lean because it is the most balanced workout Jari has. Lots of great upper & lower body. If you like the Original Get Ripped (my second favorite) you will like this one. S&L is definitely high rep and exhausts the muscles. Time flew by. Jari is very encouraging and low key and gives good form pointers. She also always has excellent background exercises showing some variations or modifications. And what a bargain! I can't believe how inexpensive Jari's workouts are for what you get! - posted by Karen on 8/8/2008 |

 Nice Workout |
| I can't say I am dripping in sweat(I do build up a sweat with lunges and squats), but this dvd is whatever you make of it. If you don't use the proper weights you won't see the results. I like Jari's motivating comments but some people might find that annoying. I think that you can either make this dvd easy or not. I am keeping this as a staple for now and rotating this dvd with a Cathe dvd that is cardio. I don't have her other dvd's so I can only base my opinion on this dvd. I can say I have honestly seen a difference in my body an I consider myself a intermediate workout person. I recommend this dvd. - posted by Dani on 7/12/2008 |

| Great DVD workout for all levels of exercisers |
| I just started working out after a hiatus of several months. Although I'm used to working out, I'm totally out of shape and basically a beginner again. Also, I've just started dieting and have about 50 lbs to lose. I did Jari Love's "Slim & Lean" workout today for the first time. I'm so, so, so glad I bought this DVD. She's awesome! There are 3 exercisers who workout with Jari in this DVD. One is a 57-year old man. One is an older woman. And one is a young woman. They all workout at different levels using different levels of weight. The older woman does variations; if you're a beginner like me, follow her and you'll be fine. The only equipment you absolutely need to do this are two handheld dumbells (I recommend 3 to 5-lb dumbells if you're just starting). If you haven't ever done this type of workout before, Jari tells you to do the workout without ANY weights at first, so that's an option too. During the workout, some of the exercisers do certain sets using a barbell, but others do them all the way through using only handheld dumbells. (I'm trying to say, you don't have to have a barbell to use this DVD!). It's also helpful if you have a Step, as approximately two of the exercise sets incorporate one. Jari is really motivating. When she talks during the workout, she addresses beginners as well as more advanced exercisers. Although this is a muscle toning workout, it keeps your heart rate up. I highly recommend this DVD. - posted by Laura K. on 4/27/2008 |

| Honestly "Advanced" |
| If (literally) hundreds of squats and lunges don't get you results, I don't know what will. You can increase your weight just a tiny bit and since there's so many reps, the challenge increases dramatically. I really enjoyed Jari's demeanor. She's calm, precise, and kind. Each move is in its own chapter so you can tailor it to your own routine. I only do the lower body chapters, since I'm getting such amazing results with my butt and thighs, I'm a little hesitant about having that much muscle in my upper body. I love the moderate and deliberate pace; you feel the intensity in your muscles instead of your joints. I just don't enjoy fast paced lunges, and it's hard to find a workout that has enough reps to challenge me, yet won't blow out my knees. Love it! - posted by Tara on 4/27/2008 |

| Another winner! |
| Get Ripped and Chiseled was my first Jari video, and I loved it so much that I ran out and bought two more- Slim and Lean is FANTASTIC. It works all my muscles in different ways, and I am starting to see so much more definition in my arms since I have begun using her videos in February. I have started to rotate her videos every other day, and I actually look forward to them because I know I will see results and be motivated by her inspirational words. If you really want to kick it up a notch, her videos are a MUST for the advanced exerciser. - posted by Alison on 4/14/2008 |

| Lean no bulk |
| I had this workout for a while, I did it once and decided I did not like it. I took it out again did it a few times and now I love it. This is what my body needed light weights and high reps. Other barbell workouts were starting to bulk me up. I guess thats how I formed my opinoin of this workout but I was wrong. Now my body is starting to get lean no bulk. Thanks Jari - posted by Delores on 4/7/2008 |

| Owie, owie owie....in a good way! |
| I think this workout is anything but boring---in fact, I prefer the exercises to be at a slower pace so I can focus on my form. I did this DVD for the first time yesterday and OUCH!! My quads, butt, chest and arms are totally sore today---and that was only using 2-5 pound weights and doing my pushups against a wall. I now have Ripped and Chiseled, Ripped to the Core and Slim and Lean. S&L is my favorite because I find it to be the most balanced, as far as working the entire body. I have problems with my knees, so during the lunge track I do reverse lunges only, and I do half my squats against a ball on the wall. I have been using her DVD's for about three weeks now, and at first I could *only* do ball squats, so I know this is working!! I can't WAIT to see the results in a few weeks!!! - posted by Amy on 3/28/2008 |
