Jari Love's Rippped Series

I love the Ripped series. I have really seen differences in my body and strength. I do use heavier weights than Jari for many exercises in order to feel challenged.

I hope Jari comes out with more DVD series......she is so laid back and I find her to be very motivating.
 
I think her workouts are great - but I couldn't tolerate the boring monotone voice - which is why I switched to all Cathe. Just gave my Ripped dvds to a girl I work with. But her workouts are wonderful (although not alot of focus on ab work).
 
I have Jari's Ripped and chiseled dvd, along with Ripped 1000. I use them when I do a whole body circuit style training 3x's a week. I alternate each workout. I love Jari and find her very motivating. I think chiseled is more challenging than 1000 though.
Hey, if you like circuit style training for fat burning. I just bought Red Carpet Ready e-book. I LOVE it! Written by Valerie Waters(trainer to Jennifer Garner and GI Joe's Rachel Nicols.
Now, it's not a dvd workout(usually my first choice), but the program is designed for a home workout. I listen to my i-pod while doing the circuits, and Cathe cardio on alternating cardio days. MWF- circuits, cardio alternating days with one rest day. Let me just say, RCR circuits kick some serious booty!!!
I just finished a round of P90x and switched to RCR(6 week program) to get ready for a beach vacation I'm going on. I'm leaning out! I feel spent through half the circuits, but when I'm finished, I feel energized the rest of the day.
Here is an article on Valerie and a sample of one of her circuits.

In RCR e-book she gives you 4 circuits to rotate in the 6 week period.
The circuits last about an hour long. Also, the valslides are WONDERFUL! They sell them at Target.com slightly cheaper. They put 100% tension on the thigh muslce through all the lunges. I'm so glad I bought them because I will use them for lunges from now on, no matter what program
I'm doing.

I also want to add a side note here ....the Valslides Target sells come with covers for people who have hardwood floors instead of carpet. :7
