Jari Love Get Extremely Ripped! 1000 - Thoughts

Jari Love's Get Extremely Ripped 1000. This one was not my favorite. I really didn't care for the cardio segments too much and the weight segments were just okay.

This is an interval workout that alternates 3 minutes of cardio with 1 minute of sculpting. You can do the workouts as two separate thirty minute workouts or as one sixty minute workout. That time does not include the warm up and cool down. The warm up is additional 5 minutes and the cool down is about 6 minutes.
The warm up uses a set of weights right from the start. Bicep curls, squats, lunges, lateral raises, shoulder press are some of the warm up exercises Jari performs with light weight.

All the strength exercises are compound in nature - lower and upper body working together. Sometimes the format was 30 seconds on each side. Sometimes the format was the whole minute on one side - go to cardio - come back and do a minute on the other side.

Cardio - with the exception of a couple of exercises, I thought the majority were just boring and repetitive even with the variations and level changes. I actually felt bad for the beginner modifier because she was doing the same move for the whole 3 minutes.

The DVD does have additional content:
Jari gives you three premixes. There is a push up & abs section, a cardio only segment and a weights only segment. Each of the premixes contains a warm up and cool down.
Equipment - dumbbells and the club step.
Not a fan of this one.
Total time doing all the segments - about 80 minutes.
2 & 3/4 stars
