 WOW, AWESOME! |

WOW!!! I finally ordered this DVD and am so glad I did. I've been exercising regularly for a year and a half starting out with Tony Horton 10 min trainer and then adding to my collection of DVD's as I found ones that interested me. I recently got "hooked" on watching Biggest Loser on TV thus purchasing my first Biggest Loser DVDs, Yoga Meltdown & Power Sculpt. I like to keep things interesting so I change up the workouts often so that I don't get bored and in a rut/plateau if you know what I mean. So needless to say, I thought I was in pretty good cardio/strength health until this morning when I pressed play on Cardio Max Level 1 with Bob.
He kicked me right to the ground. It was great! Now I wonder if I was really getting the cardio workout that I needed in the 50 minute workouts I've been playing. It's been just 6 short hours since I finished his level 1 and I'm really starting to feel it in every part of my body. I already want to go home and try level 2 & 3 just to see if I can do it to my body again today. As with the power sculpt dvd with bob, he's very motivating. He really makes me feel like I can do this! I'm strong, think positive and just do it!
Again, I just have to say, "WOW!" If you don't have this DVD already, you should. Even if it's the DVD you put in only once in a while it's worth it. I can't wait for Levels 2 & 3. Yeah!! to the Biggest Loser DVD's I love them. |
Awesome workout

| This is a great post baby workout to work the core muscles. I like how it gradually eases you in and it's easy to follow the instructions. I have done a few dvd workouts and so far, this is the only one that works for me and I feel my heart pumping when I do this workout. |
NOT for beginners!

| So disappointed. This is a poorly organized dvd. And by no means is it for beginners. If you don't already understand proper form or are completely out of shape, DO NOT DO THIS DVD! I am a personal trainer that, for many reasons, has been out of commission for over a year and was looking for a beginner dvd to help motivate back to shape. I already know proper form and most importantly how to modify so I could do the moves and not re-injure myself so I was able to get a decent workout out of it without hurting myself. A true beginner will at the least be set up for failure as most of the moves are too difficult or at the worst actually attempt this and hurt themselves. |
Really tough workout!!!

This really is a hardcore workout!! I was sweaty after the warmup so if your into that heart pumping workout this is for you,
On the other hand if your just starting out it is something that you really have to work yourself into so don't be discouraged if you can't do every move, there's alot of jumping and squatting so if you have knee or joint problems I would not recommend this |
Fantastic Workout

| I'm still on level one at this point but am loving the workout. Love how you can customize it with or without instructions and levels. |
Good all around workout

| I bought this yesterday and did it for the first time. I really liked this workout. I am feeling the pain of my efforts today so it must have worked! I think in order to get a good workout you need to do the whole video (10-20 minutes alone is not going to do it), but I was already active so although it was challenging - I definitely was glad I did the whole thing. I did not do it with weights so its nice to know I can still grow with this video. I liked the yoga in the end. So much so that I might buy the BL yoga DVD. |
Bob is such a great trainer!

| I have been working out to many workout dvds for awhile now, and have just started adding this one after I got it a few weeks ago. It is a VERY effective workout! I workout to it a couple times a week and I am already starting to see results. Now granted, there are probably more 'organized' and harder workout dvds out there, and if you are someone who prefers all of the other exercisers to be in sync, you may not like that some of the people aren't, but I don't mind that at all. In fact, I find it kind of refreshing that these are real people who have made amazing progress in losing weight, and are working out at their own pace. No matter what levels I do, I am sweating from head to toe after this workout! Plus, Bob is GREAT! This is my first workout of Bob's that I have tried and I find myself saying, "I get to workout with Bob today!" He's funny, encouraging, doesn't intimidate you, and he gives you a great workout! I find myself laughing out loud sometimes by what he and the others are saying (not very many workouts I can say that about). Although I'm not a big fan of Jillian, her workout is good at level 2, and Kim's workout is also good (probably could be considered more a level 1 or 2 than a level 3 workout, imo). I also have BL Bootcamp and Weight Loss Yoga with Bob and I love them! This workout WILL give you results! |
Great workout

| Initally I was surprised at the intensity of these workouts. Skipped Level 2 as did not like the look of all the jumping - not good for my back. However level one and level 2 together gives me a really good cardio workout. Plus you have options for low impact moves. I feel fitter and have noticed a difference in the important butt and thigh area. Would recommend this. |
I Love it! Average size and bigger contestants working out with Bob

I love this video. I like the fact that the contestants on the BL video are not perfect like others say is annoying. They do mess up, out of breath, and pushed themselves. They are the contestants from past BL seasons so they are not all skinny. Some are still overweight (but still looks good since I watch BL and saw where they started from) and pretty much in our shoes. It's nothing like those other videos you buy where everyone is extremly toned, flat stomach, making it look easy with a huge smile on their face and look as if they wear a size 2 and making it look so easy while your struggling to even breathe.
I have only been doing it for a week and still on level one but it kicks my butt. I like it. It seems to go fairly quick. |
Pain for days...can feel it working

| I am in reasonably good shape. I started to incorporate this workout video into my routine while training for a 10K to complement my running workouts. I love this video. It reminds me of a cardio kickboxing class that I took in college that got me in the best shape of my life. I like it a lot better than other workout videos that Biggest Loser has come out with as the people are relatively normal size rather than in super great shape and it's almost more casual and less perfect. More like a real workout class. The first time I did this workout (the low level portion with Bob only) I was in pain for 3 days. It was fantastic. I could feel the muscles actually working even though the steps were not that difficult. |
The Best Workout DVD out there!

This is actually my fiancees review:
I have been in search of the PERFECT workout DVD! Ive tried gym memberships only to get bored and not push myself and end up giving up and quiting the membership. Ive tried going for long walks and get even more bored and end up fumbling around with my MP3 player more than walking.
For the past 5 years the only type of physical activity was at my job. I was on my feet,moving,walking,lifting pushing for 8-10 hours a day sometimes wit out sitting down for even a lunch break.
I ended up staying home this entire summer, not working and got pretty lazy and had decided to start to get in shape for our upcoming wedding. Im in no way a svelt, trim lady and I was starting to gain even more weight from not working anymore. I tried different workout dvds and even tried a few on youtube. Again with the boredome!!
I picked up this Cardio-Max DVD, some 5 pound hand weights, crossed my fingers and laced up my sneakers!
The 5 minute warm up is pretty intense, but I enjoyed it. Then came Bob...Our little friend Bob! I managed to complete Bobs 20 minute section, and WOWWWWW its a workout! To some, 20 minutes may not seem like a lot, TRUST me and the other reviewers when I say...its a workout. I typically do not sweat and will only manage to get my HR up a little bit. I have just completed my 4th run thorugh this week of the same routine (warm up,Bob, then cool down) and Im not bored AND I noticed the last time was slightly easier for me to finish! I do however have to curse my way through the last 5 minutes of Bobs section and voice out loud how much I disslike Bob for making me work so hard, but then I forgive him!
I have not managed to make it to level 2 or 3, I feel I need to be able to get through level one with some comfort.
**The one downside of this DVD is the "cool down". I dont think that this is much of a cool down at all, while I do enjoy the yoga poses and the breathing..I stay put after and do stretches for my legs and back. I highly recomend incorporating your own ADDITIONAL cool down after the workouts. Otherwise this is a FANTASTIC video! Im already feeling results and and my fiancee said he noticed my waist slightly narrower! |

| I bought this video because I was looking for something to do at home on my busy days when I can't make it to the gym. Well....I did it for the first time last week, and my lower body was sore for 2 days after doing Cardio level 1. I'm sure if I keeping using the video, my body will be "summer swim suit" ready soon. |
This will make you sweat!

| So far I have only done the level 1, Bob's level. I can already tell you that this is well worth the money. I use this as a supplement when I cannot get to the gym and to be honest I sweat more in this video then when I run a 5k on the treadmill. I consider myself relatively active. I work out at least 4 times a weak with cardio and weights, and I run frequently. Still, the beginning level on this DVD worked me harder than I regularly do at the gym. It's great because you can do it with or without weights and they modify some of the moves for those that aren't as advanced. I also use The Biggest Loser Yoga for Weight Loss and I can say without a doubt that The Biggest Loser series so far has not failed me. Definitely worth what you'll pay! |
I NEVER write reviews...

...but I was so inspired by this DVD that I had to write one. I'm really not a big workout DVD kind of person. They always seem either mind-numbingly easy or way too difficult for my complete lack of coordination. In fact I was reluctant to purchase this, but I love the show and the video was marked down to $10.
But this DVD is SO different from most others. It is genuinely challenging without being cruelly difficult for those of us who aren't in shape. The instructors are incredibly motivating and seeing the BL contestants doing the workout and sweating and struggling to do the same activities is encouraging. And Bob and Jillian really know their stuff. I saw the 10 minute workout and thought that it would be easy. WRONG! Bob and Jillian know how to make the most of your exercises in the shortest amount of time. The day after doing this video (I did the warm-up twice and then the 10 minute with Jillian) I woke up sore in places that I didn't even think that I had worked out. I'm a week into using the DVD and am already feeling myself toning up and losing pounds. My only complaint is that the girl who does the 3rd workout just annoys me. So I don't do it. And I probably never will.
If you are hesitant about buying this DVD, don't be! It is the best $10 purchase I've made in a while. |
Good Workout

| For a workout video, this is a pretty good one. Bob can get a little annoying, but I like that it lets you customize your work out just a little. Make sure to stretch good after you're done otherwise you won't be able to move the next day! |
