Get RIPPED! PROGRAMS

The Science Behind Get RIPPED!
Get RIPPED! is a well-designed and progressive fitness workout. Each level of the Get RIPPED! workout builds on the previous. All five levels of this workout have specific goals. Special attention has been given to lactic acid accumulation and recovery within the workout that fits the metabolic goal for each level. The methodology of this workout allows for continual adaptation, since each level has unique rest intervals, exercises, and overall volume of work. Through this structure of programming, Get RIPPED! is applicable to both the entry-level and advanced participant.

It's All About Science
Developed with fitness experts and medical professionals, the Get RIPPED! Workout is a highly scientific program optimally designed to achieve your fitness goals.
  • Get RIPPED! Caloric Assessment
  • Key Elements of Weight Training
  • Muscle Definition
  • What are "Zones"?
  • Fueling the Zones
Jari Love has worked with our Exercise Physiology Laboratory as a measure to completely understand all of the physical adaptations that occur within the Get RIPPED! workouts. Our laboratory has performed Volume of Oxygen Consumption (VO2) testing with a metabolic cart using the Get RIPPED! workouts as the exercise protocol. Measured variables included the percentage of carbohydrates (RER), lactic acid profile, calories (Kcal), ventilation and oxygen consumption (VO2). Our research has discovered the following major points:
  • Individuals utilized predominantly 90-100% of carbohydrates as the main fuel source during the workout. This implies that individuals should not be glycogen or carbohydrate depleted prior to a Get RIPPED! class because it will impair performance and effort. Moreover, participants will utilize their fat stores more readily for regeneration after the class since the glycogen stores are near depleted. This also helps explain why individuals lose body fat with frequent participation in this program.
  • Secondly, since the predominant energy source is derived from carbohydrates, lactic acid readily accumulates through the exercise sequences. Lactic acid is a major stimulus for muscle growth, which supports why participants significantly increase their strength although the loads for the program are relatively low compared to traditional weight training.
  • Thirdly, participants achieve similar caloric expenditures compared to a running on a treadmill. Therefore, this class can be used a substitute for individuals seeking high caloric burning activities such as running.

Get RIPPED! Caloric Assessment (RCA)

New to the Peak Power lab, a specific test has been designed to reflect the metabolic changes that a person undergoes in the popular Get RIPPED! Workouts. This test was designed in conjunction with Jari Love, founder of Get RIPPED!. Direct assessments of caloric expenditure, fat and carbohydrate utilization and heart rate are measured for the most common Get RIPPED! exercises.
