To begin with, my fitness level is advance.

Production-Overall, the production quality is very good. The set could be considered cluttered, but I did not find it distracting. The music is instrumental and pretty much the same throughout the entire workout. I never loved it or hated it. It went well with the workout. I really liked the, Personal Weight Load, graph before each new segment. This gives the at home exerciser and idea how much weight each participant is using. I also like how everyone is using a barbell, dumbbells or just plates for the workout. Even though there isn’t a chapter menu, each muscle group has its own chapter. It would be easy for anyone to customize this workout to fit his or her own needs.

Last fall, many of my strength workouts was Body Pump. Since then, I have been searching for another strength workout that had the “Body Pump” feel to it. I believe I found it in Ripped. Ripped targets the lower body more than Body Pump, thus in my opinion, making this a more desirable workout for women whose focus is lower body.

The workout breaks down as follow:[
Warm-up-1:20-6:20
Squats-6:20-10:05
Chest-10:05-14:10
Back-14:10-17:35
Triceps-17:35-21:00
Adductors & Abductors-21:00-28:30
Deadlifts & Rows-28:30-36:45
Lunges-33:30-36:45
Biceps-36:45-40:52
Shoulders-40:52-46:55
Abs-46:55-51:20
Cool down-51:20-55:00

The rep speed varies in count, which keeps the workout from becoming monotonous. I do like to see different rep speeds in endurance workouts. It helps me take my mind off the numerous reps for each body part. I also enjoyed seeing the different fitness levels in this workout. I give this workout an A. If any of you are looking for a workout, whose format is similar to Body Pump, I highly recommend that you get this workout.

Instructor Comments:
Jari Love has great camera presence. Her form is excellent and so are her form pointers.
Jari also gives sound advice throughout the workout. She doesn’t waste words, nor does she use fillers. I found Jari very likeable and very business like at the same time.
