ProForm Rip:60 Review

Our Rating

Rating: 78.6/100. Rip:60 is an eight-week suspension training program that also integrates some kettlebell, weights and calisthenics. You begin by draping the nylon suspension cords firmly over the door; if you have an option to attach to ceiling or bar that also works and might be better (at times the proximity of the door can be limiting to the workout).  You will need to place a towel in between the door and nylon so that you do not scratch your door. The nylon cords are strong, but with time will wear out from use.

Each DVD represents one week of a certain set of exercises, and in that particular week you do the same exercises daily.  Each training session incorporates a warm up and cool down. The difficulty of exercises increases each week with a different DVD. As the workouts progress they add a kettlebell, burpees and weights or other exercises in intervals, which gives you an overall body workout.

The exercises are simple, this is good for newcomers, but whatever your level of fitness you can add and challenge your own strength and agility.

The nutritional guide gives information and recipes to include in the eight-week training.

Pros:

• Videos demonstrate how to use Rip: 60 and different exercises
• The workouts are progressive; building on difficulty each week.
• Sturdy straps
• Nutritional guide
• Easy to use for travel

Cons:

• Hangs from door – most homes don’t have something to attach from overhead so easiest solution is the door, but place a towel in between as to not scratch your door.
