 Amazing Workout-Not (just for) Beginners |
| Review Date: January 21, 2008 |
| Reviewer: April E. Gap, Chicago, IL |
I was really excited to get this DVD, especially since you can pick your level and make it "last" for 6 weeks while adding new levels and new moves throughout the 6 weeks. Now let me preface this with saying, I am extremely fit. I work out 4-5x a week doing cardio for 30-45 minutes at a time. (And when I do cardio the sweat is literally dripping off me in waves.) I also have been doing sculpting DVDs 2x a week for the past 6 months. This workout kicked my butt! Level one is definitely easy enough for intermediate, yet will still challenge those who are in good shape. I just added Level 2 today, and I actually had to stop the DVD and take a 60 second breather because I thought I would either throw up or pass out! You've gotta work me REALLY hard to make that happen!
My only "criticism" is that I don't think this DVD is appropriate for beginners. However, after reading some reviews it is clear beginners are doing it and thriving on it. My advice to a beginner would be to concentrate on form before you concentrate on reps or how heavy your weights are. In the DVD a lot of the participants have really poor form. (Even though the trainers give them a thumbs up.) Watch the trainer and copy them. Once your form is perfect add weights and/or increase your reps. I'm sure any trainer will tell you they'd rather you do one really good move than 10 of the same move with poor form.
If you want to loose weight and you stick with this DVD I can't imagine you wouldn't change your life and body. And on the same token, if you are already in shape this DVD will add variety and excitement to your workout as well as giving you a really challenging workout. |

I am such a big fan of the Biggest Loser Series. I have The Biggest Loser 1, Cardio Max and now this is my third DVD.
As always, the DVD is fully customizable, so that you can workout as long as need or have time to workout.
The instructors (First 20 minute is Jillian, second 10 minutes Bob and third 10 minutes is Kim) are all clear, consise and enthusiastic. Their encouragement is not chatty or irritating. I find it to be fun yet professional.
As for the workouts...good grief! I workout 5-6 days a week, two of those days being devoted to strength training. This DVD works every single muscle that I need it to and I feel like I'm accomplishing a great deal each workout. My arms were burning at the end of Jillians Workout and then on to Bobs. By the Kim's session, I was pooped! I didn't finish it, but I appreciate that because it gives me something to work toward. There are some standard exercises (bicep curls, shoulder lifts), some combination exercises (shoulder raises while squatting), and also some non-traditional exercises like lifting out your arms in a V and then back in..that one is a killer! (I left out that there is a 5 minute warm-up and cool-down on the DVD)
I feel stronger and leaner and my arms show improvement.
Worth every penny! |
Great Power Sculpt Workout!

| This is power sculpt workout will make you work. I can tell you that you will sweat and your muscles will burn! I alternate this workout with The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max 6 days a week and Fat Free Yoga - Lose Weight & Feel Great w/ Ravi Singh & Ana Brett NOW W/THE **MATRIX** MENU OPTION!!! and Crunch - Super SlimDown: Pilates Yoga Blend at least 2 times a week. I have been doing this routine for 5-6 weeks now and have dropped 15 lbs. Hallelujah! I am grateful to have established a routine that works and can I do it in my own home. P.S. I ignore most of what the instructors say that is not pertinent to the exercise at hand. If you get too involved in what is spoken in general to the biggest loser's contestants it gets a bit annoying. Remember the goal... The workout does work :-) |
The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt

Early December 2007, after watching the amazing results from the Biggest Loser Television show, I decided to purchase both the The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt & Cardio Max.
They came in the mail later December so since January 1st of 2008 I have been working out with both DVDs and have since lost a few pounds and my friends have noticed a difference in my performance in sports and walking and thinning around my face. With 155 pounds to lose I am on a good start. Working out and eating correctly is the biggest key. The DVDs will not help you trim up and loose weight. You have to work out and manage your food intake as well.
On a personal note, I believe in a few months i will look back on this experience and say they (the Biggest Loser Club DVDs) saved my life. You have to get these if you want to see some at home changes in your life. |
Best workout DVD!

| I have tried my fair share of workout DVDs and this is by far the best. My other exercise DVDs are usually collecting dust after one or two uses, but this one has kept me coming back AND I'm losing inches and pounds after just 2 weeks! The instructors are wonderful and very inspirational. Totally nonthreatening set up/instruction and fun to work out along side. I use the "Maximum Results" program- only 35 mins for level 1. Gets the heart rate up and love the routines with the weights. Each move incorporates upper and lower body so you are able to target many muscle groups with each movement plus alternatives are offered if the movement it too hard or too easy for you. Only complaint- I'm not a fan of the music in the background, but it is easy enough to tune out. All in all, I highly recommend this DVD. |
a really tough fun workout!

| I recently got hooked on the biggest loser show. I thought I would check out this DVD to get in shape after recently having a baby. I figured it would be easy but I was wrong! I could not even keep up with the past contestants on the level 1 setting and I think I am in pretty good shape. I love how quickly the workout goes by and the ability to change the levels for your workout. I also love the yoga cooldown because I am a yoga fantatic. This boot camp style workout is fast paced and hardcore! It does not bother me that it is not in sync like the other people mentioned - I am hardly coordinated myself! You can follow the different people for modified versions of the workout. I have lost all my baby weight (20 lbs) and still feel challenged and I am not even on the third level yet! This is a great workout paired with the cardio max, you can switch off every other day and get in top shape! |
Great total body work out with 3 instructors

| You start off this workout with Jillian and as always she isn't going to go easy on you. This is the longest segment of the workouts and you get challenged by the workout she's prepared. The next section is with the other female on Biggest Loser, and you have a challenging workout with her that gets the sweat rolling. The moves are easy to follow and get results. The final segment is with Bob and it's the most difficult section. He taps into his yoga and pilates moves in this segment and the core gets a great workout from the moves he has you do. You get a great overall total body workout and one that makes you sweat. It's varied with having 3 instructors so you get a variety to fight boredom. This is a great workout series and one I'd recommend. |

| This DVD far exceeded my expectations. I loved the show "Biggest Loser", but I wasn't expecting the workout DVD's to be anything special. The DVD includes several different workout routines adjusted by the level you chose. It seriously feels like you are apart of the class. They speak casually amongst eachother, and you don't "feel" like you're following a workout dvd. I very much suggest this. It provides as a great, medium-instense workout. You can't get much more with a dvd home routine than this right here! |

I've started this workout in April 2008. I've lost 5" in my waist, 2.5" on my arms, 5" on my hips and 3" on my thighs.
Overall, I feel great! This DVD makes you work, sweat and grunt. I would buy this DVD if you're ready for a challenging workout. You will see results if you do the DVD a few times a week.
It's fun. |
Kicked my butt!!!

| I bought this work out along with the Sculpting one and I am only on day 2 of my rotation between the two and all I can say is I can feel the burn! I only started with the beginners workout but I was huffing and getting pumped all the way through. I am not in the best shape but I hope to lose weight and tone at the same time with both Dvd's. I like that I can see people who look like me on the screen and know that they have lost weight without pills and surgery but with real sweat. I'm a huge fan of the show and I can't wait to do my own BL challenge at home with weekly weigh in's. Working up to the advanced level may take me some weeks but am really looking forward to making lots of progress. I will definetely keep doing these workouts! |

| I love the show and the DVDs. In the past I don't like to work out using DVD becaue either the people in the program too perfect or the instructors talk too much. All this DVD series are good we only need to exercise 30 minutes but we got a lot of sweat. I have a fit posture and use this DVD to stay healthy and have good muscle tone. |
Great Workout!

| I like that this DVD provides instruction on proper form. I have only done Jillian's portion. This DVD portrays a softer side of Jillian versus her Biggest Winner DVDs. |

| All I have to say about this DVD is get ready to sweat...it's amazing! My arms and legs are getting stronger and much more sculpted with every workout. It's less than an hour for a FULL BODY EFFECTIVE workout. Great for busy moms (like myself) who still want to look like we train at a gym everyday. Thanks Jillian for creating these workouts that truly SHRED the FAT AWAY! |
Fantastic workout!

| This is a great work out. Jillian starts you of with warm ups, and the first 20 min workout. I love every second of Jillians workout- great instruction- what a friendly and motivating instructor. I have an use all of jillian's workout dvd's but I like her in this one the most. Then Kim has a 10 min workout. I find Kim a bit annoying, but she still gave a great work out with good instruction and a good ab workout too. Then Bob has a 10 min workout which is a killer after doing the other two! theres a 5 min cool down, which honestly should be longer. The dvd is programable so you can select what workouts you want to do. you can also shut off the instructors talking but I've never wanted to do that. I really love this DVD- I love seeing the contests workout because you think- hey if they can do it- I can do it! After buying and using this one I bought the cardio max which I'm looking forward to useing! |
