Research has shown that as we age, we lose some muscle movement. The Rip 60 reverses this trend by re-introducing you to old movements and teaching you new ones, training your body to use its muscles again.

The next step is to follow the scientifically designed eight-week progression of movements, each week illustrated in a single DVD. Weeks one through four focus on strength, teaching you the right moves to increase your strength and endurance. Weeks five through eight target your overall power, with moves that maximize muscle activation.
The first DVD, titled Wake Up Your Body, prepares you for the upcoming workouts. DVDs two and three amp up the intensity, with a Hyper Burn workout that focuses on stability and endurance and a Turn and Burn workout that introduces longer sets for added stamina. During week four, you'll Recharge using yoga and tai chi.
Week five helps you Built It Up--the beginning of the muscle growth phase. You'll be introduced to heavier weights to prepare your body for more power. During week six's Power and Strength, you'll start focusing on power moves, bringing in faster movements and more reps. In Pedal to the Metal, you'll use the moves from week six and integrated them into longer reps still. Finally, you'll bring it all together in The Peak, the week-eight workout that combines the strength, power, and endurance you've gained and evaluates it against a timed assessment.

The Rip 60 also includes four bonus DVDs. In Jillian Michaels Workout DVD, you'll learn to lose weight with America's Toughest Trainer, who runs you through a complete total-body workout. The Georges St. Pierre Workout DVD teaches you the signature moves of an MMA fighter, creating extreme muscle explosion and unbelievable results. The Power Yoga Workout DVD is all about lengthening and strengthening, teaching you a number of moves to improve your overall balance and physical well-being. The DVD helps you recover after your eight-week body transformation. The final Runners Workout DVD boosts your running training by strengthening your stabilizer muscles.
