 Tough endurance workout... September 10, 2006

As a new fan of Jari Love really enjoying her Ripped workout, I was excited to pick up her new workouts. This one is definitely more advanced and intense, lots of reps here. I am not used to this type of training as I generally do higher weight/lower rep workouts like the Firm and others, so I was wasted the first time I did this one, had to go majorly light on the weights too.
Jari is joined by Laurie and Krista, who were in the first Ripped workout along with Brian. The transformations that Laurie and Krista have made since Ripped are quite inspiring. You will need some dumbells for this workout, barbells and plate weights are also used by some of the participants. This workout contains 12 tracks including warmup and stretch, each track has it's own song. There is a preview for each exercise so you know what's coming, plus they show each exercisers weight load plus display the number of reps that will be performed. I found this quite helpful. Here is a listing of the exercises...
squats (76 reps plus pulsing)
lunges (front/back, 94 total plus pulsing)
chest presses (64 plus pulsing)
bent leg deadlifts/deadrows (30 deadlifts, 54 rows plus pulsing)
pushups/rotator cuff (45 pushups, 32 rotator cuff)
tricep dips/french press (24 dips, 56 french press)
bicep/hammer curls (46 curls plus pulsing, 36 hammer curls)
one leg squats/wide squats (44 one leg plus pulsing, 38 wide plus pulsing)
overhead press/lateral raise (34 overheads, 28 lateral)
abs
The warmup consists of some of the exercises you will see throughout the workout with really light weights. Krista shows beginner modifications for a lot of the exercises, plus there are other options given throughout such as doing the lunges in a static or stationary position, which I do myself. I used a range of 3-10 pound dumbells for this workout and it was plenty tough for me, as you can see there are lots and lots of reps, for some exercises maybe a few too many. The chest track was especially tough for me.
Still, I give this workout 4 stars, I think over time and once I get used to this kind of training, I will like the results that I see. Plus alternating light weight training with heavier weight training will shake things up a bit and keep things interesting. For those who thought that Ripped was too easy, Jari has come up with a challenge here. She has done a nice job in this one, I have this one and her 2 other workouts, I do them all and look forward to the new ones she has coming out late this year/early next year.

I really like Jari Love's Slim and Lean. I had tried her original workout, "Get Ripped" and found it a bit easy for me as I am an advanced exerciser. That is definitely NOT a problem with this workout. Using relatively low weights (I used 5-12 pounds) and a high number of repetitions, Jari leads you through a series of exercises that target each muscle group. She adds on killer pulses to the moves on some muscle groups. My quads and shoulders felt the burn with all of those pulses! I liked the music in this workout better than the music of "Get Ripped". Some of the tracks were familiar to me from other workout videos (Cathe Friedrich) and they were definitely less headache-inducing. I also found the ab workout to be slightly more difficult than "Get Ripped", which is a good thing.
The background exercisers show a wide range of modifications, so this workout is great for people of all fitness levels. I recommend this one for people looking to tone up and increase their muscular endurance. You definitely get a big bang for your buck with this workout.
Quite good :-) April 30, 2006

I don't know why Amazon isn't releasing this till July when you can already buy it online elsewhere, but I've got it already and this is what I think of it ...
After a quick warmup, there is a workout that is just under one hour of toning. You do the exercises standing and seated. Jari uses A LOT of repetitions - 45 push ups etc and the weights can be anywhere from 3lbs to 20lbs. That sounds like hard work and it is, but it's worth it because the results that I've seen with this dvd is more dramatic than any other workout I've done.
Each section begins with a quick one-on-one demo of the proper form that you need to avoid injury. At the end of the dvd is a segment all about healthy eating. If you do this often enough, it almost won't matter what you eat, because you will be burning so many calories even at rest, you'll practically be able to eat whatever you want. Admittedly 90 plus lunges are tough going, but try and work your way through this dvd and your friends will be envious of your new body.

If you're looking for a quick and easy workout, Slim & Lean is not it. Jari's first offering, Ripped, is for beginner to intermediate exercisers looking for an endurance workout. Slim & Lean is for inter-advanced exercisers looking for a challenging endurance workout. Yes, you work a muscle to fatigue and Jari makes sure there are enough reps to do that. 96 lunges is a LOT! If you are looking for the challenge of an endurance workout, you'll certainly get it here.
This is my favorite kind of workout because you develop long and lean muscles. Jari is the consummate professional. In addition to the pointers at the beginning of each section, she gives form pointers throughout. She even says to "bear with me" at times because the reps go on for 4+ minutes. That's what an endurance workout is all about - high reps! But Jari varies the count to make it more interesting and challenging.
Personally, I love all three of her offerings and use them weekly with wonderful results.

After a few of months of working out to the original "Get Ripped" DVD, I felt it was time to move on to a more challenging workout to gain further results. In just one month of using "Get Ripped: Slim & Lean" I have toned up considerably more and my muscles are becoming more defined. I actually enjoy doing this workout more than the former, as not only does it contain more extensive and challenging abdominal work than its precedessor, but most of the accompanying electronica music is actually very good. I especially love the song towards the end of the workout that's playing during the overhead presses and lateral raises.
Jari Love's instruction and queing is so clear and precise. She never wastes time performing silly moves that "look" impressive yet offer little results. In fact, her entire routine serves as proof that a workout can be very challenging and super effective without being difficult to learn or follow along. The basic concept of "Slim & Lean" is the use of light weights (anywhere from 3 to 10 pound dumbells - or you can use a barbell for most of the exercises) while performing very high repetitions of mostly well known exercises (such as squats, lunges, over-head presses, chest presses, bicep curles, hammer curls, etc.) and by varying the speed of the exercises. There are also a lot of pulses and isometic holds performed throughout to create ultra lean, defined muscles. Jari Love's own physique is a testiment to that.
Jari is joined by three background exercisers, including one man, a woman who demonstrates many easier modifications, and another woman who demonstrates some more advanced modifications. This is definitely an intermediate-to-advanced exercise program. While beginners can modify by using very light weights and omit the more difficult pulses, the excess number of repetitions alone may still be too challenging for some. I would recommend that true beginners start with the original "Get Ripped" workout first, which can be more easily modified for a beginner level yet will still keep you feeling quite challenged throughout - then get this DVD once you've mastered the former.
Although I workout using a variety of exercise DVDs, "Slim & Lean" is currently the staple of my exercise program and has given me the overall best results so far. Bonus features include trailers for "Get Ripped," "Get Ripped to the Core" (will be trying that one next!) and an interview with a dietition. Highly recommended!
