R.I.P.P.E.D. Total Body Challenge with Terry & Tina Shorter

Combining resistance, power, plyometrics, and endurance in an innovative interval system, R.I.P.P.E.D. is a plateau-proof fitness formula to help shape and tone the entire body. This high-intensity workout is a safe, fun, and effective way to achieve a strong, fit physique.

A solid workout with six sections, each one using a different exercise technique. Don't be intimidated by the title; the moves are well-cued and mostly intermediate level. The DVD even has a detailed “exercise tutorial” preceding every segment (that's easy to turn off once you've mastered the routines). The toning segments feature proven classics like squats, planks, bicep curls and mountain climbers. The cardio sections are more diverse. For example, the “intensity” series uses athletic moves like burpees, squat jacks and fast feet. While, the “endurance” segment ranges from boxing jabs to Brazilian martial arts exercises.

DVD also includes a “bonus” abs workout and a nutrition info segment.
