Excellent WorkoutsDecember 23, 2005 Dotti Zupko(New Mexico, USA) 209 out of 221 found this review helpful
I bought this mostly because I thoroughly enjoyed the show and definately preferred Bob's training style over Jillian's. I consider myself intermediate/advanced when I purchase workouts. After doing this workout the day I received - - I can definately see why the participants lose weight in the show. This is an EXCELLENT workout and it made me SWEAT. I programmed 60 minutes of workout my first time out and this definately will burn calories and get your heart pumping. The fact you can program what you wish to do is a wonderful feature that you don't receive with workouts costing twice this price. For this price you definately can't go wrong. This is definately a "keeper" workout in my workout regimen.
Real to life and the needs of an exerciser...oh, and fun too!December 21, 2005 V. A. Coleman(NY, NY) 64 out of 67 found this review helpful
I purchased this DVD on 12/20/05 in a local store. When I got home I looked to Amazon.com for a review and realized that I bought it on the first available date. I wanted to see how it was before I opened the package. In my opinion there is nothing worse than spending money on a workout DVD and then never using it because it sucks. Based on the other review of the product I decided to use it today.
Now, I like the Biggest Loser but the show would depress me sometimes. I was wary about the DVD but thought that it would be a great option for someone like me. Due to massive changes in my life and schedule I've gained 20lbs this year. I recently decided that I could not continue sitting on my ass. I wanted a good workout DVD to use in the cold winter months (and get me through the holiday season).
I put the DVD in my player today and was pleasantly surprised by the content. I like the 6 week workout plan and the different options that are available. What I like most was that the cast participants are "real" during the workouts. They do not act like "workout robots". They struggle, laugh, groan, and sweat. I actually laughed along with them. I love how Matt messes up- I think that would make alot of men more comfortable with doing it.
Bob is really down to earth, too. He is motivating but sometimes I wish he would do more of the workout than "train" me. I glanced at the high impact workout and noticed that Bob barely did the moves. I guess that is probably better because I need someone to motivate me more than show me the moves. He stresses that it is more important to keep moving than to be perfect or hurt yourself.
I really look forward to doing this workout again. I want to do the Boot Camp part next week when it comes up on the plan. I also can't wait to see how I feel and look at the end of the 6 week plan. I definitely needed a DVD that gives me options and is realistic. I hope this DVD helps to keep me motivated and allows me to have fun while getting in shape.

Real people doing a real workout...I really enjoyed this season of the Biggest Loser and it was a pleasure to watch and follow along/exercise with the people in this DVD. Sure, they didn't do each exercise perfectly or at the exact tempo (they're not robots afterall) but it's a lot of fun.
The exercises are manageable, that is, you can choose the intensity of the workouts and not feel like you're not "doing it right." You can pick and choose/program the type of workout you want to do: 1. Warm-up (5 minutes) 2. Low-intensity cardio (25 minutes) 3. High-intensity cardio (20 minutes) 4. Strength and sculpt (20 minutes) 5. Boot camp (20 minutes) and 6. Cool down (20 minutes). I felt very motivated to continue to exercise with this DVD unlike some other exercise videos.
Never watched the showOctober 12, 2006 D.M.K(Las Vegas, Nevada United States) 21 out of 21 found this review helpful
Somebody gave me this workout, and it is really working, I ve lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. 5x a week. I am 60 years young and this workout definetly makes you work. All the people whom are whining in the reviews are people who will never lose their weight, I ve seen it over and over,, They whine about this,whine about that, something is not perfect, so they stay 50 lbs overweight because they can never find the "perfect workout" Then, you have the exercise freaks who have been working out for years and are in great shape, whining that the workout is too easy.. Remember who this DVD is made for "Average, overweight, couch potatoes. In sum, a great exercise workout that will get you where you want to go, if you use it.
best workout DVD I've tried.December 14, 2006 yoga chick(Florida) 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
After being thin my entire life, I've gained 15 lbs in the past few years as I approach 40. I consider myself in reasonable shape b/c I walk and do yoga. I was worried this DVD would be too easy. It is definitely NOT too easy. I did the low impact cardio on the first day and it kicked my butt; however, unlike some other videos, I was able to do it from the start. It is terrific and motivating and I can see myself sticking to it and losing the weight I need to lose. None of the moves are too easy or too hard. Bob always shows an alternate move in case the moves are too difficult. He constantly says to work at your own pace and listen to your own body. Once I master the low impact, I can move onto the more difficult high impact. I've tried numerous videos in the past and found them so difficult (all of the "FIRM" videos) that I couldn't complete them. Sometimes even the alternate moves were too hard. This DVD is by far the best workout DVD I've tried.
INFO ABOUT THE 6 WEEK WORKOUT PLAN:: As for the complaints that there is supposed to be a 6 week workout plan and there isn't, those people did not notice a small misprint on the workout plan screen. It says weeks 1 - 3 (meaning 1,2,and 3), alternate workouts #1 and #3 (6 days a week). Then it says weeks 2 - 4, alternate workouts #2 and #4. It SHOULD say weeks 4 - 6 (meaning weeks 4,5, and 6), alternate workouts #2 and #4 (again, 6 days a week). Hope that helps!
