Canadian Fitness Star Jari Love Strikes Gold with New GET EXTREMELY RIPPED!™ 1000 DVD and Inspires Others to Dream Big
July 23, 2009 Calgary, Alberta - Fitness professional Jari Love, the creator and star of the wildly successful Get RIPPED!™ workout DVD series, is back with a brand new DVD release, called Get Extremely RIPPED!™ 1000, that promises to take Canadians to a new level of fitness.
Following on the heels of the very successful Get EXTREMELY RIPPED!™ DVD, which was released in May 2009 and soared to number one on Amazon.com in July 2009, Get Extremely RIPPED!™ 1000 features interval training with three-minute cardio workouts followed by one minute of double-duty strength training.
“This workout will deliver results,” says Love. “All the exercises are tested on a metabolic cart and are proven calorie burners that will elevate your heart rate during the exercises, as well as long after you are done. It’s a great way to lose weight and keep it off.”
This fast-paced, fun workout is more than just a way to lose weight and get in shape. It’s also offers healthy, positive way to cope with stress. Participants can choose between two 30-minute workouts, or go for it with one 60-minute program. All that is needed are some light weights and an optional step and exercise mat.
“I really believe that exercise is a good solution to stress, depression and I would even say in these times, something that will help people cope more positively with the recession,” says Love.
While Love may look like she has it all, she also understands firsthand what it is like to go through tough times. Her journey to success as one of North America’s top fitness stars has not been easy and for the first time, she is sharing her personal story.
At a young age, Love and her family lost their home, vehicle and many of their possessions. Her mother’s undiagnosed schizophrenia, the death of her infant brother, her father’s job loss due to the recession, and her parent’s divorce wreaked havoc on Love’s childhood, and she vividly remembers the trauma and stigma of nearly being homeless.
“Many people told me that I will never amount to anything,” she recalls. “I hope the fact that I’ve created success for myself inspires others who encounter negativity and adversity.”
After enduring many years of emotional abuse, family turmoil and a failed attempt at a country music career, Love moved out on her own at the age of 19. The stress, coupled with her new-found freedom, resulted in a 40 pound weight gain.
Realizing she needed to make changes, Love began working at a local fitness club and began to work herself back into shaped. It was here that she instructed her first fitness class, which sparked her interest in becoming a fitness instructor.
Over the years, Love became increasingly involved in the fitness industry. She married Ray Love, owner of Fitness Plus, a popular Calgary gym with two locations. She also began to teach her unique workout, which ultimately would become known as Get RIPPED!™ in various fitness facilities.
In 2005, at the age of 35, Love produced her first Get RIPPED!™ DVD and since then, has developed a loyal fan following. Get Extremely RIPPED!™ 1000 is her sixth DVD in the Get RIPPED!™ workout series.
