DVD Reviews of The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt
DVD Review: Decent, for the most part...
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, this a fair DVD. Workouts #1 and #3 are strong, with #3 being the best on the disk. Bob does a great job in motivating you as well as providing direction. I truly wish he ran the show on this one! Jillian's segment is fair, and is geared towards the novice and/or the beginner. However, it does the job if you are planning to do all three workouts back-to-back. I must mention that the gal who instructs the middle segment is not very good. She is very confusing to listen to and frustrating as an instructor to follow. i personally mute this section and follow along silently, as the exercises as decent to perform.DVD Review: Too Much Jillian
Summary: 4 Stars
The workout itself is decent. I'm in moderately good shape, but overweight, and due to some health issues I need to lean up. I've been doing the workout for a few weeks. I do level 1 and then I do anywhere from 1.5 to 3 miles on the treadmill afterward, so I haven't ventured to level 2 yet, though I did watch it to see what it involved. I think the workout is good, and on that basis I would recommend the dvd.
However...my biggest issue with the dvd is Jillian Michaels. I have never watched The Biggest Loser, so I don't know what her deal is, but I find her obnoxious in this dvd. She picks on that girl Julie relentlessly. None of the participants look like they know what they are doing, but Michaels singles Julie out time and time again. She also resorts to a good bit of name calling. That aside, she doesn't come off as a very good instructor. She doesn't explain what she wants everyone to do well enough and the participants look awkward trying to figure out what they are supposed to do. And I find Michaels doesn't explain stances and form well enough, for example I rarely know which leg my weight should be on. When she says I should feel it in my butt, and I DON'T, I know I'm doing it wrong. Today, mid-workout, I just had to stop and write down the things I heard that I find annoying. Thank goodness the dvd provides the option to run it as music only, without the instructor's voice.
"Switch it over, hands in both..double 'em up...It's very seldom that I make a mistake but when I do I'm not afraid to admit it." Jillian makes so many mistakes in this dvd it isn't funny.
Pendulum lunges: "...keeping knee over ankle, don't want to forward travel...where the knee goes over the ankle." - Which knee, what ankle. I have no idea what forward travel is, she doesn't demonstrate.
"What's the matter Poodle. What's the matter Julie. Tap. Tap!"
"See what I have to put up with for four months. She's killing me. Stop! Please!"
Bicep curls: "...curl up three quarters of the way...right to my hand Julie thank you." Julie was doing it correctly. She was almost the only one doing it correctly.
"Bill I hope you're doing this correctly since you belong to me." Bill has the worst form of all the participants.
"Sink down Julie! Thank you!"
"Julie don't do it to me right now. Make me proud Julie. Make me proud Julie." Michaels says as she sits on Julie's back.
"Excuse me Julie leg in! Thank you!" - Julie was doing it properly.
Curtsies: Awkward for beginner. Not well explained. I should feel them in my gluts...but I don't. Where should my weight be, front leg or back leg?
"Isn't that right Bootie Girl."
"Isabel, very well done. Boys don't usually like these." - Is Isabel a boy?
Squat-Leg lifts: "Working upper and lower body at the same time..." - my arms are stationary, how am I engaging my upper body?
"Look at you Neal, Bill." - Bill is clearly lifting his arms too high.
The chest flies are the only exercise Michaels explains entirely.
"Relax Mama."
Bootie raises...should I be contracting my butt muscles? Michaels doesn't instruct me to.
"Holly's got J. Lo bootie. Holly's got ghetto bootie, big time."
"Julie, get your leg up. Oh Lord. Always giving me hassle. Always giving me hassle Poodle."
"I don't want to talk to Bill. I'm gonna go play with Neal."
"Bill, knees in, feet off the ground. Hello! everybody look at Eric." She never said to lift your legs. That's why no one is.
Throughout the dvd she says "3 more"...and a second later "Last one". Or "Let's do 4 more"...then she ends after the next one.
DVD Review: Jillian is crazy
Summary: 4 Stars
I am in pretty good shape already but wanted to tone my upper arms. Jillian's workout definintly kicked my butt. Easy, fast, and you'll feel the results. DVD Review: Kim makes me crazy...
Summary: 5 Stars
I love all the Biggest Loser workouts, and I own all of Jillian Michaels's DVDs as well. I workout 5-6 nights per week, and even though I am in pretty good shape these Biggest Loser DVDs kick my butt! I love the power sculpt DVD because it really flies by, 3 different segments with each trainer really helps, plus you really feel it in your muscles the next day. I also love working out with "real people" on the videos-mistakes and all. The one complaint I have is Kim-her voice drives me INSANE and I now realize why she is no longer on the tv show. Her segment's workouts are pretty good, but unfortunately I am so disctracted by her voice that I am just waiting for it to be over...DVD Review: Not much of a workout
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently had a baby and wanted to get back in shape, so when this came out on sale on Amazon, I jumped at the chance to start up a new workout. The reviews seemed to show that it was challenging enough, but simple enough for beginners. When I got it, I was pretty disappointed. The first workout was not at all challenging. I'm not an incredibly fit person and had not used a workout video in several months due to pregnancy, but jeez, I didn't even crack a sweat. It also looked like it was filmed in a bargain basement. Overall, not the quality or the workout that I'm used to from big names such as this. I guess that's OK since it was under ten bucks.
