Jari Love's Get Ripped: Get Ripped to the Core

A weight-room-style, dumbbell/barbell workout featuring high repetitions of compound exercises. By consistently working multiple muscle groups at once, you'll maximize your time efficiency while keeping your core engaged (either as a stabilizer or simply “linking” an upper and lower-body movement).

Each carefully-designed segment begins with a technique demo plus a review of the weight levels used. Then it smoothly builds in intensity. For example, you'll start with squats, make them double-time, add the upright rows, pulse them to the music, travel a little… then on to the next segment (often targeting those same muscles in new ways).

Requires a step, 3 to 20 lb. dumbbells and a barbell (one person uses only dumbbells).
Powerful, “Body Pump-style” music. Also has a short interview with a sports physiologist.
