I find for me that moderate/light weight and lots of reps works best for me right now. I find I like the shape of my arms and legs better. When I lifted heavier weight what I liked is that I could see increased muscle very quickly what I didnt like…
As someone who started out doing the light weight more reps, who then moved to heavier weight with less repetition. I found I got and saw more definition when I used the heavier weights w/ less repetition. So in believing that, I do twice a week usi…
Hi Martha,
I would have to agree with you on this. I think that Jari's DVDs are the main workouts that I will always go back to, but that doesn't mean that I'm limited to that type of fitness. I would encourage anybody to visit different websites a…
My body doesn't like lifting heavy weights at all. I tried it and I was always hungry and no fat melted off. But when I do Jari workouts, I do lose fat and gain muscle agility and a nice shape. I don't know how much "stregth" they are talking about,…
Hi,
I've been doing Jari's workouts for 3 years now and I am taking a break from them and have just started Cathe's Gym Style series. There are three programs: Legs, Chest & Triceps, and Back, Shoulders & Biceps. I did Legs on Monday, and Back, Sho…
I read a pretty informative article in the most recent Oxygen Magazine regarding heavy, moderate, and light weight. The overall conclusion was to do all three. Heavy weights and low rep range like 4-6 reps tend to increase your strength and to some…
I have been reading a lot lately that heavier weight and less repititions is better than lighter weight and lots of reps. Which, in your opinion is better? What difference does it make to your body?

I ran my first marathon last October in Detroit. Ihave run several half marathons. I have been contemplating the Country Music 1/2 this year, but have not committed. The weather is so bad here, it is hard to train outdoors. Might be there.
Jari, thanks for the reply. So for extremely ripped when the screen says 5lbs. You are using 5lbs per hand? Thats how I understand you. But your other dvds when you have 10lbs on the screen you mean 5lbs per hand? Sorry I'm having such a time figure…
Rosemary,
That is what I thought at first until my husband saw the screen and said I think it means 16 lbs TOTAL and then it made sense to me. So don't feel bad I almost made the same mistake!
Hi Jari, now i know why I could barley do the whole workout. So I've been doing the 30min. halves everyother day. I am using a total of 10lbs for 5lbs and 16lbs for 8lbseach time, and boy I felt very challenged. Do you suggest I drop it down to 2.5…
Jari,
Is there a limit to the weight of the weights you should be using? I mean should you just keep going up and up in weight? Also, on your DVD's when is tells you the total weights you are using it is the combined weight right? If it says Jari 10…
Yes, I have found this to be true for myself also. I ran 2 half marathons last Fall (my first) and I had to cut out leg exercises for the same reason, they seemed to make my legs too tired. I am now training for my first full marathon In October..we…
Jari,
I have been doing your "Ripped and Chisled" for a few months now. Is it unusual to have to use different weights for different exercises? Some of the exercises I can use 10 lb weights, and some I have to go as low as 5 lb? Does it just depend…
