Canadian Fitness Star Jari Love Strikes Gold with New GET EXTREMELY RIPPED! DVD and Inspires Others to Dream Big

July 6, 2009 Calgary, Alberta - Canadian fitness professional Jari Love, the creator and star of the wildly successful Get RIPPED!™ workout DVD series, makes it look easy. Beautiful, fit, successful and one of North America’s top fitness stars, Love looks like she has it all. However, her journey to success 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 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.

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 fanatical fan following. She has released four additional Get RIPPED!™workout DVDs, and her most recent DVD Get EXTREMELY RIPPED!™ soared to number one on Amazon.com in July 2009.

Get EXTREMELY RIPPED™! is designed to help people of any fitness level shed unwanted pounds and gain muscle definition in just weeks. The scientifically designed 60-minuteprogram can also be broken down into two 30-minute workouts. GET EXTREMELY RIPPED!™ burns three times as many calories as traditional workouts because it incorporates light weights. Many people do not realize that weight lifting burns as many calories as jogging.

Love recommends working out with weights to everyone, but especially for women who need to help fight symptoms that come with menopause, such as stress, difficulty sleeping and bone loss.

“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.
