In the intro to Calgary, Canada-based trainer Jari Love's latest addition to her Get Ripped! powerhouse exercise series, the instructor stresses intensity (for maximum fat-burn and weight-loss), adequate water intake, and a positive attitude. Slim & Lean features 15 vigorous dumbbell-enhanced exercises, including dead lifts, squats, lunges, push ups, dips, curls, abs (“six-pack attack time”), a chest press, and more. Sprinkled with helpful onscreen reminders and tips, the program also includes modifications for beginners or those with flexibility problems. DVD extras include an interview with a dietician. Focusing on results rather than production frills, this no-nonsense workout is recommended. [Note: also newly available in the Get Ripped! series is Get Ripped 1000.] Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
