5.0 out of 5 stars Jari's most challenging endurance workout yet!

This review is from: Get Ripped! with Jari Love: Get Ripped & Chiseled (DVD)
I'm fairly new to Jari's workouts but have really been enjoying them--I love how she pushes you to work hard yet doesn't kill you. I was thrilled to be able to preview her newest video, Ripped & Chiseled. I found it to be most similar to her Get Ripped Slim & Lean in that it is a long workout (just over an hour) which really challenges your endurance. However, Ripped & Chiseled is different in that Jari uses 2-3 consecutive exercises per muscle group, so each area really gets hit hard!
Jari's background exercisers here include Gaylene from Ripped 1000 (who amazingly is 57 years old!), Judy, and Mike. As with the other Ripped workouts, you have your choice of using different types of equipment, including dumbbells, a barbell, and weight plates. Also, the weight loads for each exerciser are shown (this time BEFORE the exercise starts, which is great because it gives you time to set up) as well as the total number of repetitions.
Again Jari uses a high number of repetitions with varied counts (singles, 2-2, 4-4, 3-1, 1-3, and pulses), but she adds some new twists here, such as high/low pulses on the squats and 1-7/7-1 counts on the triceps work. There are a total of 15 exercise tracks as follows:
1. Warm-Up
2. Lunges
3. Squats
4. Stiff Leg Deadlift/Bent Knee Deadlift
5. Chest Press
6. Push Ups
7. Chest Fly
8. Back Track
9. Triceps Dips
10. Skull Crushers
11. Pull Overs
12. Overhead Press
13. Biceps
14. Hammer Curls
15. Cool Down
With the exception of the triceps dips, which is a bit shorter, each track averages around 4.5-5 minutes. As you can see, there is no abs work, but the abs section from Slim & Lean (a nice quick abs routine consisting of 4 exercises performed in 2 sets), is included as a bonus. The DVD Bonus features are as follows: Abs Workout-Talking Nutrition-Healthy Recipes-Other Programs-Previews.
Although this workout is similar to Slim & Lean, I enjoyed it much more; it just seemed to flow more smoothly, making the time, although lengthy, go by more quickly. Although not as intense overall as Ripped 1000, which includes cardio, I believe that Ripped & Chiseled is Jari's most intense endurance workout to date. Since you are working each muscle group several times before moving on, you will probably need to use lighter weights than with Jari's other workouts--even Jari & crew dropped to lower weights during the biceps section! Therefore, this would not be a good workout to use as part of a heavy lifting routine.
The best thing about this workout was that I felt great after I was done! Definitely an excellent endurance workout for intermediate to advanced exercisers; highly recommended.
