I am in agreement with pretty much everything said. I want to be able o hold what I pay for (for free I'll use youtube, but won't pay for it, and I can't just put my computer anywhere and workout- I don't see thatwell, especially on floorwork).
I would never pay for streaming. As others have said, its like paying a huge rental fee and then its"poof" if they decide to shut down. The reasons go on and on for me.

Jari's "Get Ripped & Chiseled" is my favorite of all her DVDs so I'd like an updated version of that with these characteristics:

1. DVD only! I won't download a Jari workout.

2. PLEASE, another DVD like "Get Ripped & Chiseled" but with a more thorough lower body section AND a good Ab segment.

3. Isolated Muscle Toning Exercises (NOT compound moves).

4. Controlled moves (NOT cardio intensive).

5. Filmed in a bright environment (not in a dark dungeon).

I agree! I just did GR&C the other day and there was way too much focus on the upper body. I also do not like compound moves or cardio intensive exercises.

I hope she does continue to make DVDs. I really don't like downloads much either or streaming. I have problems frequently with buffering issues with my youtube workouts, drives me crazy so then I just end up breaking out a DVD workout!

I want to "own" what I purchase. I will most likely never purchase a download or streaming workouts. I dont have a smart TV or a computer in my exercise room.

DVDs definitely. I only stream Cathe Live (not on demand) and SBF. That is the limit of my paid streaming. I definitely would be interested in buying DVDs, if the workout looked appealing to me.

Just chiming in to register my preference for DVDs. I'm not a technophobe, I just prefer DVDs for many of the reasons already listed here. I do a lot of Jari DVDs, so I will definitely be interested in her new ones. However, if they are download only, I will probably pass.

ETA: Streaming is a non-starter with me. I have no room near my computer for a work out and I don't want to deal with buffering/freezing issues. I just want to pop in a DVD and get to work.

By offering both a download (which is different from Streaming) and a DVD both, she reaches a bigger audience, and the more technically challenged are more likely to order a DVD.

Well, if we are going into what we want on dvd:
  • Something like her Original Ripped, Slim & Lean, or GR&C
  • No compound moves
  • No cardio bursts or dancing
  • No other leads but Jari -- her friends are nice and all, but I like Jari!

And if she can give us a 40-min (or less) TOTAL BODY STRENGTH, I'd be thrilled!!

ETA: LOL, before I just glanced at Paine's list above...now I went back to carefully read it, and I see that Paine and I are pretty much in agreement.

Another who likes physical ownership of DVDs. I don't have streaming capability on my workout room TV yet, nor a setup that would easily allow me to hook up a laptop and play downloads. If she goes streaming/download only, I would not buy any more of her workouts, and I own just about everything she's put out.

I would purchase as well, as long as it's not ridiculously priced and offers something different. I also own most of what Jari has put out, and once I got past the bat cave feel and the puffy workout cupcake skirt, I was able to get a good workout!
