 Not worth it |
| Review Date: July 2, 2010 |
| Reviewer: TheCafeWriter, Chicago, IL USA |
I don't watch the show, so I didn't have any familiarity or expectations with the 'cast.' I bought this because the premise appealed to me: short workouts over 30 days to develop a workout habit and achieve a baseline of fitness.
What a letdown! None of the exercisers seem to have any sense of rhythm. They're out of sync with the music and even with each other, which makes it difficult to follow. The two who are performing modifications aren't consistent either, e.g., they seem to each have their own version about how a given move should be performed. Add to this the generally 'lost' look that all of them share, as if they don't know what's coming next and they're waiting to find out, and this DVD becomes unnecessarily hard to follow smoothly.
For the brand, I expected far better.

I am the laziest person in the entire world, honestly I hate exercise. To make things much worst I love food º, just writing this made me want a double cheese burger with bacon and fries mmm¡K bacon!!
I enrolled in several gyms, and made the owners very rich, because I punctually went once a moth to pay and that was it. I also tried tennis, racket, karate¡K never lasted more than a couple of months.
I bought a elliptic machine (we also have one in the office), a stationary bike, weighs a bike and they are all there sitting in my family room ruining the view or in the garage.
I also bought CDs with sculptural good looking models and guys that looked like ¡§the thing¡¨ from fantastic four. Those guys and gals have no empathy, and think that the people that buy their CDs are professional athletes or dancers. The routines were just too fast and heavy for me, I was done in 15 seconds. A complete wa$te.
If this sounds like you, I hardly recommend this exercise CD (see the picture).
It has something for every day of the month (Sunday is rest), routines are done by real people and pace is gradually increased. You will be able to do the whole 10 minutes or at least be close enough to do it, so you don¡¦t loose motivation. I am really enjoying it. My wife and son are doing it too, we made it sort of a family thing.
If you are good at sports, do exercise regularly and are an adrenaline junky this is not for you!! You will find it too easy. This is truly for beginners who do not have a lot of time in their hands, and want to do some exercise for their health¡¦s sake.

| I don't know the name of the petite lady with dark hair who leads a few of the workouts, but she's terrible and I find her personality really annoying. Even the others on the video with her don't know when she's starting or stopping a move. Not everyone is meant to lead a workout and she definitely isn't. Other than that, I don't know that I'll lose any weight doing this, but I do feel sore. Other reviewers who don't must already be in some kind of shape or just stronger than I am because I'm feeling it. I have very weak arms, so this has been good for me. I enjoy doing this, but as I said, I doubt it will help me lose any weight. For beginners who haven't worked out at all, this DVD is good for them. Those being really critical in their reviews must not be very overweight or beginners. |
Too Easy

| Okay, I am really, really out of shape, about 80 lbs overweight and exercise rarely. This video was very basic and too easy even for me. For a more challenging workout I recommend the Power Sculpt workout instead. |

| My only complaint is it doesn't tell you upfront that you will need other equipment to do some of the exercises... Like an exercise ball, etc |
Great for post pregnancy

| I think that this DVD is great. IT is not the most vigorous of workouts, but it is great for a beginner. I was the everyday exerciser until I got pregnant. Now its been 2 months since having her, and this DVD is just what I needed to get me back into the swing of things. I really like that the contestants from the show are the instructors. They are very positive and inspiring!! |

| I rented this dvd from Netflix and had it for about 2 months. I finally decided to purchase it. My fiance and I use it often and we love it. We can work out for 10 min and build a sweat. They use people we can relate to. |

30 Day Jumpstart Biggest Loser DVD

| Great workout, but a bit difficult for beginners. I am in fairly good shape and had a hard time keeping up with the aerobic part. |
10 minute workouts

| Reviewer: Sandra L. Hazley, Pittsburgh, PA |
| I am completely satisfied with the dvd. It is a good start up workout dvd for people who have not exercised for awhile. Ten minute work outs, easy for most ages and you do what you can. I am in my 60's and find that doing 2 of the work out's each day is great. |

| I have many of the Biggest Loser DVD's and compared to the others, I would say this one is so so. It is fun to see the contestants leading the way, but their insturction are not as good as Bob or Jillian. I had convinced my friend to join me for the 10 min work outs (as it says on the front of the DVD). It's hard to come up with an excuse not to take out 10 mins a day to work out. But I didn't realized that the second week ment 20 min work out and so on. That isn't normally a problem, but that ment we had to get up 10 mins earlier every week. I do like the mix up of exercise every day, and I enjoy working out with the contestants. I beleive as long as you put in your full effort you will get a good work out. If you are starting out - this is a good DVD to buy to help build you up. If you are already in shape, I recommend you not buy this DVD. |
Workout with past contestants

As you can see on the picture there is Bob and three past contestants. Don't be fooled, Bob does not run any of the workouts. So if you are a Bob fan, you don't get him for the workouts.
The others are teaching the sessions. They are only 10 minutes and go by fast. This is a great starting workout video for those of any weight.

| This video is great for the startup workout. Kind of easy for someone at the intermediate level but the great thing about the video is you can create your own workout making it more advanced. The biggest loser cast is great. |
One of the WORST!!

| I have all of the biggest loser work outs and by far this and last chance work out has been the worst. The contestants are good but they aren't ready for there own workout DVD. It had terrible cuing, it was just bad. |
Be careful!

I don't want to ruin anyone's motivation for working out. I so wanted to like this DVD. I was a big fan of Tara and Sione and so was looking forward to working out with them. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, the instructions for this video, the transitions between exercises, the counts are very rough. The inexperience of the trainers is evident. Bob & Jillian are not training you!
I am used to working out, have used Leslie Sansone, the 30 Day Shred, etc. The experienced trainers/exercisers on those tapes have shown me you can push yourself and, if you use proper technique you will "feel the burn" but not injure yourself. If you try to keep up with the transitions in this video, the brisk pace may cause you to move too quickly from one move into the next. If you are not a beginner and you try to keep up, you will feel the jerkiness between one move and the next. I thought to myself, "well, it's not Bob and Jillian but these are all good exercises and the pace is excellent". HOWEVER, I was surprised as anyone to find that I ended up with a back of the neck muscle pull that has taken 3 weeks to heal.
Again, I'm not a beginner and this tape may be encouraging to beginners but I feel I must post this review and warn others, proceed with caution, learn the routines (which will mean stopping and starting in between exercises) and THEN go for the burn! |
