Get Ripped

March 24, 2010

Yesterday I did about 30 min of cardio with TK Best of Volume 6. skipped the

warm since I just walked home, straight to the punches through the turbos and to

the recovery. I then felt too brain fried to continue with anything with

choreography. I then put in and walked maybe a half mile before I was

just NOT in the mood for that either. I came back later that evening and did

Yoga Booty Ballet Yoga Core and subtly mocked Gillian in my head.

Today I did Get Ripped to round out my week of Jari. This workout just seems SO

much easier after Get Ripped and Chisled and Ripped to the Core. It was still

challenging at times, but I'm not drenched and exhausted. I might have to throw

something else on later this evening.

I used heavier weight than Jari for most things. I hated the way they didn't

post the weight loads until they already had started executing the moves and the

weight loads fluctuated negligibly from move to move. Also, they didn't post the

number of reps. I think I could of gone heavier had I would have known it was

going to be a shorter set on a few things and I had to drop weight on a few

other things.

The abbductor/adductor exercises are the same old lying on the floor lift your

leg, lift you inner thigh stuff we all learned in the 80s and 90s. I added

weight to mine and I still didn't feel a burn with it. Jari doesn't use weight

for the lunges and they in no way fatigued me carrying light weights.

I didn't hate the workout, but I think its a hard one to do *well* if you

haven't done it in a while or are doing the first time. I think its a good one

to have if you just don't have the energy for Chisled that day or if you are

still sore. But Chisled and Ripped to the Core really do far outshine it.

I like Get Ripped, Darcy. It's a nice, general, overall workout. I think it's

Jari's easiest weight routine too.
