I’m selling it. It is not my style and too be honest if I don’t sale it, it only going to sit :eek:

I just got it on yesterday, and watched it last night. I had mixed emotions about this workout, decided its not for me. I paid $13.97 asking $12 bucks if you are interested leave me a voice message :D opps I meant, send me an email [email protected]

I guess what bother me the most was each time she does a short workout segment, she'll take a break and move onto the next segment.


Just too many breaks for me. she claim to bring heart rate down and for me my heart rate wouldn’t be up enough too break. Just my personal opinion some like her, I really didn’t care for her.
 
Did you try the workout? I sometimes find that when I actually do a workout, I like it better than I thought I would on preview.
 
Hey there teddygirl-
I dont LOVE Jari's actual workouts myself BUT they do yield good results and actually burn a lot of calories.... I'd say try it once and you may just want to throw it into a rotation once in awhile... after doing it if you find the dread factor is still too high then post it on that site that allows you to sell/exchange...cant recall name.
just a thought:)
 
I haven't tried 1000, but have been doing RTTC and S&L the last couple of weeks and since they are based on muscle endurance and not building mass, I love them! I had some reservations at first, but really love the calorie burn, and believe me....you WANT the breaks between segments!!!
 
Hi Teddygirl,

You may want to try the workout before you give up on it. I liked the workout a lot, and this workout got my heart rate up big time. You might be suprised.

>Nope haven't tried it x( :( Do you like it?


I've previewed, but haven't tried it yet (I'm on a "Cathe's new workouts" rotation) so I am reserving judgement!
 
I did NOT like this workout the first time I did it either...

BUT...

I made modifications and did it again and "MUCH BETTER" - I was sore the next day and sweated through the whole thing..

1. Increase your risers to 8 inch step height.
2. Do NOT stop doing the cardio until after she gets done stretching.
3. Go about 2-5 pounds heavier than what Jari does...
4. Follow the male when she does the tricep extension overhead with the side leg lift thingy....
5. Do the ab section twice....

I got mine for $9.99 so its worth it to keep it and I do like the results I got from switching to Jari for four weeks then back to Cathe. I noticed my endurance was better and I could going heavier and longer with Cathe....:)

Hope this helps....I still prefer RTTC though....
 
I agree with Reba's modifications. I have only done the workout once but that is my own personal need to keep changing the workouts I have planned, LOL.

Jari's Ripped 1000 is a lot like Tony Horton's P90X-- the cardio heart rate is NOT the intention of the workout. She brings you up and then takes you immediately down so that you are spending your energy building muscle rather than breaking it down by endurance cardio. With your relatively lowered HR, you still get an effective workout.

You'll be sweaty but don't think of it as a cardio workout at all! ;) HTH
 
I absolutely agree with Lorrie - and I think very soon I will be a Jari convert.

I had the original "Ripped" and "Slim & Lean" sitting in their wrapper for weeks.

I finally did "Ripped" once and wasn't impressed. Then I read the raves about 1000 and ordered it online. I previewed it and wasn't impressed. But, when I actually did it, I changed my mind.

Compound exercises are not the way to go if you are seriously wanting to build strength/size. But, if burning calories is your goal, her workouts are excellent. My heartrate was elevated throughout the entire workout.

I have finally found something similar to the Classic Firms (my first loves) that I really enjoy.

I also acquired "Ripped To The Core" which I did this AM, and it really is an @sskicker. Of course, she is no Cathe in instruction/presentation and intensity, but her workouts are definitely challenging.

No, I'm also excited about "Slim & Lean."
 
OMG I can't believe some of you modify this workout to make it harder! I used an 8 inch step but otherwise stayed with Jari's weights and I was DYING by the end of it, and SO grateful for the little breaks in between moves. I'd definitely give it a try before trading it away, for me at least it was much harder than it appeared.
 
I like this workout, except I do not think it works the back effectively at all. The back is such a complex muscle group and I find it odd that she would only pick one exercise that specifically targets it.
She also does not offer challenging work for the triceps and again only hits them from one angle. After completing this workout the other day, I went ahead and did Butts and Guts because my legs were not even remotely fatigued (but they were certainly cooked after B&G)! I think this is a great workout for those not looking to lift heavy or burn themselves out,but burn serious calories via high reps. However, it certainly is not enough to build muscle mass, especially if you are used to advanced workouts.;)
 
You don't build muscle with Jari's workouts, just define it better. Both of her compound workouts, RTTC and 1000 are very deceptive. Slim and Lean is better for improving muscle def. but the compound workouts are serious fat busters. I wasn't impressed when I previewed them, the cardio in 1000 looked whimpy, but I quickly changed my mind after doing them. I too, was very grateful for the breaks!
 
What kind of rotation do you use with your Jari Love tapes? If you use the same weights as Jari, can you do these workouts every day? Or do you rotate with some cardio routines? Thanks.

I did Jari/Cathe rotation for four weeks and felt I got great results in improving my endurance stregnth :)

I would do:

RTTC
Cardio Cathe of choice
Slim and Lean
Cardio Cathe of Choice
Off (usually fridays)
RTTC
Cathe cardio or Circuit - then I repeated it again..

Sometimes I did Slim and Lean twice in one week and then the next was RTTC twice in one week. I did Jari weight workouts three times per week and Cathe Cardio three times - it was a super fun rotation and I just grabbed whatever cardio dvd I felt like doing, so I busted out some oldies :)
 
I just got the Ripped 1000 last month along with the new Cathe's and so I did a total mishmosh with the dvds....

I just went nuts doing the new workouts in all different orders and trying premixes and throwing in Ripped 1000 twice. Now that I did the modified way with Ripped to increase the intensity, I can see where it would fit in, but to be honest...I feel that RTTC is a much more thorough workout.
 
Reba,

Thanks for taking the time to post this information. It is very helpful. Am glad you got great results. I hope it works for me, too. I may pull out some of my oldies and some Gin Miller step for cardio.

I finally tried this workout yesterday, and while there are a few things I don't like, it's a keeper.

What I don't like: no notice of what position the step has to be in for each cardio segment, so you sometimes have to change the step and back-chapter; Jari tells us to 'smile' a lot in this workout, which I think is corny; the male background exerciser looks rather nervous and is a distraction (scared-rabbit look towards the camera, fake smile, never seems to blink); and Jari is painfully skinny in this one: you can see her ribs even when she's not stretched out (at one point she comments about how the workouts have changed Lori's an her bodies, and I was thinking "If Lori starts looking as scrawny as you, that would be an argument *against* using these workouts in my book!".

Like most of her workouts, this one seems to go by quickly, because you don't stay with one thing for too long. The cardio/plyo blasta are very athletic and intense, and keep the heart-rate up (but I don't see the need for a stretch after each one?). I usually sweat a lot when I do RTTC, and it was the same with this one. I think compound moves are rather deceptive: they don't feel like as much work as heavy weight work or isolated muscle work, but they use more muscle and increase the metabolism.
