About Jari Love: A competitive runner since her teens, health and fitness has always been central to Jari Love, which led to her becoming a personal trainer. However, with increasing responsibilities over time she had fewer hours to devote to training, so she used her knowledge of physiology to create her own training paradigm, customized for a busy parent and business person whose goal was to maintain peak fitness.

Jari based her program on periodization and progression - two elements missing from most current exercise approaches. Get Ripped! is based on the training methods of elite athletes, current research, and her own experience. The workout incorporates progression of intensity that offsets the body's normal adaptation response to exercise.
