Any thoughts about Jari Love?

Ladies:

I saw a bunch of posts over on VF regarding Jari Love since she has some new workouts coming out, and I'm just wondering if any of you have tried her out and don't mind sharing your informed opinions....

... not that I need any additional workouts or anything. :) I just bought G-Force for the rebounder and three Cathe's that I had to replace. (Yes, I actually lost a BAG OF CATHE WORKOUTS during my travels - it was terribly traumatizing, so Cathe is no longer allowed out of my house!)

Gracias!

Ok, not one person here has tried this workout??? Should I be ashamed for even asking about it?!

:)

Marie,
flying solo in this thread...
 
I recently bought this workout and I like it. It is a total body weight workout. If I had to compare it to one of Cathe's it would be Power Hour.

I bought it as an impulse buy from deep discount dvd, because they were selling it for around $8.00. I have only briefly previewed it, but have not done it yet, so I can't comment on it really. It does look sort of Power Hourish.

Well, I like it, GDI! Jari is very encouraging. However, I really heavied up on the weights. I was using what the guy was using, if not more, and I modify quite a bit. On the unweighted lunges that Jari does, I do static lunges with a barbell instead. I do other modifications too.

It's a nice change. As much as I like Cathe, I can't do all Cathe, all the time.

I love Jari's workout. It's a BodyPump style workout, which is what Cathe's Power Hour is formatted after. Cathe is a BodyPump certified instructor, or at least she was. :)

Jari has two new workouts that are due out in a couple of weeks. They will be available at Collage Video. :D
 
I like Jari herself a lot and did enjoy "Ripped", but I traded it because I simply could not stand a certain background exerciser in that workout one more time. Silly ... I know ... but she bothered me to the point where I could no longer concentrate on the workout, and at that point there's no use in keeping it if I won't do it.

I haven't looked at her new ones yet. If that person is gone I will buy them because I really do enjoy Jari's style.

I watched her clips and think she's cute as a button. Looks pleasant to work out with. I'm going to look for this at Marshalls or TJ Maxx as some people have found Ripped there for 8 bucks!

No one will ever come close to Cathe, but gotta have variety.

:)
 
I love Ripped. I do it on days when I want a full body workout but don't want to heavy up. I find it easier than Cathe's strength workouts, there aren't as many reps. Her newer releases sound like they're going to be tough. Probably similiar to Power Hour.

Jari is cute as a button! She's great on camera, not the least bit annoying, has good form, and is very respectful towards her background exercisers. I've also e-mailed her in the past and she's always responded to my e-mails in a prompt and sincere way. She even e-mailed me once out of the blue to ask how I was doing! I think she's going to be an instructor to watch in the future. She impresses me!
 
I was able to find a copy of Ripped at Ross for something like $8.

I also heard on VF that her new workouts will be available on retail in June. Right now I think you can only purchase them threw Jari's site or Collage. This will mean that DDD will have them cheap this summer, as well as other retailers. If you can wait that long for her two new ones, then you can get as much as 50% off of Collage's price!
