DVD Reviews of The Biggest Loser Workout, Vol. 1
DVD Review: Definitely do-able!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's difficult for me to get to the gym with three children, and other dvd workouts were to fast paced or complicated for me.
This workout was EXCELLENT. I can keep up, and if some of the workouts are too hard on my body in the moment, then I can step it down a notch with Bob's recommendations. It's easy to follow, and easy to memorize, so you can do yourself, at your own speed, without the video later on.
Bob's relaxed spirit makes it seem like he is working out with you in your livingroom. Included warm ups and cool downs, and everything from low-impact to strength and sculpt.
The plan is to keep moving, even if it's just from side to side. It's definitely a good work out for beginners, like myself. I feel the burn each time!
DVD Review: Good and bad
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not overweight nor do I have any major health problems. But this video was VERY challenging in good ways and bad:
Good:
-you can customize your workout
-you will DEFINITELY work up a sweat
Bad:
-it is hard to "keep up" because the participants are constantly changing the rhythm of the routine
-on that same note, the fact that the participants are having a hard time keeping up is a distraction.
-the guy is pretty annoying. there were times where I wished he would just go away.
-it was REALLY hard on my knees (i haven't had knee issues since running track in high school and even then they didn't have this much stress on them).
Overall, I'm not sure if I'd purchase this again given the opportunity. But now that I have it, I'll make the best of it.
DVD Review: Good Sweat, Bad On Knees
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great workout if you have some pounds to shed, and you have good knees. I really wanted to like this DVD, and the bits I can do, I find wonderful. However, I have a damaged Achilles tendon and at my weight (I have 100 lbs to lose), the extended series of deep lunges followed by squats, by more lunges are just impossible and painful for me. But, when I am about 1/2 way to my goal, I suspect I will return to this one. While the participants are often out of synch with the trainer, I found that nice... real... not a bunch of perfect robotic followers. DVD Review: Will make you sweat as long as you push yourself.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this video because I love the Power Sculpt and Cardio Max DVDs. I have only done the Boot Camp, High-Intensity Cardio, the Sculpt, and the Stretch workouts (being an intermediate/advanced exerciser, I bypassed the Low-Intensity Cardio segment because they said it was for people who have never worked out before). I must say, overall, I am impressed with this series of workouts. I love the "mix and match" option, so you can construct a workout that is designed for you. The Boot Camp is a nice addition for those mornings when I don't have time to do a full cardio and strength workout.
The High-Intensity Cardio is very good--it is a bit repetitive, but Bob really gets your heart rate up, especially during the tires and football runs. He works the lower body first, does upper body, and then goes back to the lower body with some kicks. I like it because the moves are not complicated and can be done easily, but very effective at getting your heart rate up and moving. No, the contestants in the background don't always keep together, but I try to ramp up my own intensity, and end up being out of rhythm with them anyway. I tend to go faster than the people on the DVD, to really push my heart rate to its limit. Let me tell you, I was drenched in sweat after those 20 minutes!
The Sculpt/Strength workout is good as well; it is a basic strength workout without any combo moves that work both upper and lower body together. Bob focuses on upper and lower body separately, but I really like his core moves towards the end with the reverse crunches, regular crunches, oblique crunches, and ab holds. I have a tendency to like the old school moves, so I didn't really mind the absence of the combination moves. However, I do other workouts during the week that have those, such as a plethora of Jillian Michaels workouts and some of the Women's Health workouts, to balance out my weekly rotation. Just because one workout you do doesn't have some of the moves you want doesn't mean the DVD is worthless. Also, I have read some complaints about the music; music is never (and shouldn't be, in my opinion) a factor in my decision regarding whether or not a workout is worth buying--if you're focusing on the WORKOUT, you shouldn't even notice the music!
Overall, this DVD is worth investing your money in. All of the Biggest Loser workouts have a solid foundation, and this one is no different. It will make you sweat and help you sculpt at the same time, and will help you get the results you're looking for as long as you put the appropriate effort into it and see it for what it's worth--a very well-put-together "back to basics" workout.
DVD Review: OMG!!! No wonder they lose 8 lbs a week
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this video. The setup is amazing. You can customize your workout or you can use the preset, it even tells you how to rotate. I love it. The workouts are challenging but in a good way. It is one of the best workouts I have ever had at home. I am buying more!!!!!
