 Feeling the burn ;-> December 25, 2007

The training gang are back again with another workout, but this is pretty much all toning. It's about 50 minutes and it works you from head to toe. These guys don't mess around and you will work hard (but even though you are sore the next day, you want to keep at it because you know it will give you great results).
You can do a 30 minute level 1 workout or a 50 minute level 3 workout so as you get stronger, the workouts get tougher and you will avoid plateaus and boredom. This feature will keep you moving up the strength scale and keep challenging you. They suggest you need weights within about a 3lb to a 10lb range and if you are new to weight workouts, then you want to start light. These guys are very motivating but yet they make it fun. The contestants from past seasons are working out too and that is also motivating. I really like this and can't wait to do it again.
 Amazing Workout-Not (just for) Beginners January 21, 2008

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.
The Biggest Losers create the Biggest Pains! December 31, 2007

Bought this along with the Cardio DVD and all I can say is wow.
All 3 trainers are here just like in the Cardio and it doesn't take long before they start making you sweat! The great thing with this DVD is you can pick your poison with a 20 minute level 1, 10 minute level 2 and 10 minute level 3 sculpt workout. For a real challenge sign up for all 3 and hit play!
It won't take long before your muscles are screaming and the sweat is rolling off your forehead. Lot's of lunges in this along with biceps and shoulder presses. All the good stuff is in here.
I have no doubt that combined with the Cardio DVD just released, you can lose some serious weight with these.
 Pretty good for the price. March 21, 2008

The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt
I found this to be a pretty good workout. I've just started strength training again and found most of the exercises to be challenging esp. those in Bob's section. I do like that the exercises keep the heart rate up, but the pace and multiple movements can compromise your form which means you won't be getting the true benefit of the exercise and/or possibly end up hurting yourself. So you have to be careful.
Another thing, for exercises done one side at a time - they aren't always done evenly. Be sure to count and do the same number of reps per side.
No Nonsense Workout that will change your body May 15, 2008

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!
