Get Ripped to the Core

Get Ripped to the Core is one of Jari Love's older workouts, but it is a good one. The focus of this workout is high rep compound exercises.

30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Best Body

I am at the end of my new-to-me Kelly Coffey-Meyer workouts (though I have her newest on pre-order) and it seems I have saved the best for last. Your Best Body is an incredible workout duo. In some ways it is similar to Weights (which I also love) but in other ways it is unique. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Best Body

30 Minute to Fitness: TLC

No … Continue reading 30 Minute to Fitness: TLC

Tonique 2

Tonique is a unique series of workouts created by Sylwia Wiesenberg. These workouts were recommended to me as advanced workouts, so I, of course, quickly ordered one to check it out for myself. I found the descriptions of the workouts a little odd; they didn't really give me the information I am looking for when … Continue reading Tonique 2

Dream Body

Dream Body was recommended to me as an advanced workout, so of course I had to give it a try. On first search, I found that Dream Body is a system that costs $95. I wasn't ready to spend that kind of money on a system I knew so little about and had never heard … Continue reading Dream Body

Get Extremely RIPPED! and Chiseled

Jari Love's newest offering Get Extremely Ripped and Chiseled was one of my Christmas presents. I am a big fan of Jari Love.

She was one of the forerunners of the most effective and advanced training … Continue reading Get Extremely RIPPED! and Chiseled

I love this workout. I haven't done it in years, but I always think of it fondly. One of my all time favorite workouts. I remember when I discovered Jari Love with Get Ripped Slim & Lean, then Get Ripped to the Core. They were so very challenging for me at the time and I … Continue reading Get Ripped 1000
