Get Ripped! Exercise with Jari Love

January 29, 2007 -- Jari Love is a certified personal trainer and the creator of RIPPED!, which she calls the new multiphase, no-nonsense fully body workout system designed to help people of any fitness level shed unwanted pounds in just weeks. The hot-selling and critically acclaimed RIPPED! series enables individuals to burn up to three times more calories than the traditional weight-training program, and has received rave reviews from fitness critics throughout North America since the first title debuted in late 2005.

After many years as a recording artist, model and actor, Jari Love obtained her Personal Fitness Trainer (PFT) certification and began working with clients as a personal trainer. A competitive runner since her teens, health and fitness has always been central to Jari's life. However, with increasing responsibilities over time she had fewer hours to devote to training, so she used her knowledge of physiology to create RIPPED!, a results-oriented workout for the busy parent and business person whose goal is to maintain peak fitness.

Using her 20 years of fitness teaching experience as a foundation, Jari developed a program based on periodization and progression  two key elements that are missing from most current exercise approaches. RIPPED! is based on the training methods of elite athletes, current research, and her own experience. The workout incorporates progression of intensity that offsets the body's normal adaptation response to exercise. It's the response that creates the stalls in progress that plague other exercise programs, making most training regiments disappointing for seasoned exercisers and discouraging to those new to fitness.

Jari named her program RIPPED!, after the weight lifting term for increased muscle and decreased body fat. After many of her clients were able to meet lifelong fitness goals as a result of doing the workout, and spurred on by requests from those who didn't want to miss a workout when they couldn't make it to one of her classes, Jari developed her workout into a fitness video that people could use anywhere, anytime.

Since the release of the first DVD  "Get RIPPED!"  in 2005, has program has developed a fanatical fan following from consumers and news media alike. Jari's RIPPED! craze was fueled by the mid-year release of "Get RIPPED! Slim & Lean" and "Get RIPPED! To the Core" has generated unprecedented demand in Canadian health clubs for her personal classes and consistent Top 10 sales rankings month upon month including No. 1 rankings on leading fitness video websites. Jari has been in demand for live demos on television throughout Canada and the United States, and has received wide-spread support from fitness and lifestyle media including selections as the Top Resistance Workout by Shape magazine in 2006 and Fitness magazine in both 2006 and 2007.

Heading into 2007, the momentum continues with the release of her fourth and fifth installments in the series, including "Get RIPPED 1000" during December and "Get RIPPED & Chiseled" next Spring. Jari's background as a certified trainer, fitness club owner, author and creator of the successful RIPPED! series -has garnered her a spot on the Fitness Magazine Advisory Board for 2007, as well as a regular fitness expert for Calgary's Chum television and Shaw Calgary television. Additionally, she will appear in promotions for related fitness products (webber naturals" protein powder), among many other activities.

Jari enjoys spending time with her family  husband Ray and two children aged 9 and 13  while staying connected with her love of fitness. Maintaining her health has also allowed her to pay an active role in her community. She gives the gift of her time to local programs that aid marginalized persons.
