This review is from: Get Ripped! with Jari Love: Get Ripped to the Core (DVD)
I have tried all three of the workouts that Jari Love currently has out. "Ripped to the Core" is different from the original "Ripped" and "Slim and Lean" in that it consists of compound exercises. You will work multiple muscle groups at the same time which makes your workout more efficient and is a real calorie burner. Some examples of compound exercises included are: dead lifts and biceps curls, side squats with lateral shoulder raises, and step-ups with overhead shoulder presses. My heart rate was elevated for most of this challenging workout.
The inclusion of compound exercises requires you to engage your core throughout the workout. Additionally, there is a segment of planks, supermans, and traditional ab work. There is also an emphasis on shoulders in "Ripped to the Core". Three tracks are dedicated to frying your deltoids to a crisp. I did this workout six hours ago and my shoulders STILL feel the burn.
As in her earlier releases, there are a wide variety of modifications shown so the workout may be done by anyone from beginner to advanced fitness level. It requires minimal equipment (dumbbells and a club step) which is also a plus.
Another great workout by Jari Love! Highly recommended by this fitness enthusiast.
