 Excellent, except..... May 12, 2008
I think several of the excellent reviews have established that this is definitely a challenging workout even for those of us who think that we are in relatively good shape. I think this is a great workout if you've hit a plateau--it's definitely helping me and inspite of the negatives I'm going to list, I still am using it because the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. You will feel parts of your glutes and quads for several days!!
The reasons I didn't give it 5-stars are as follows.
Cardio level 1: Bob is great with the routines--they are definitely challenging. Just like the previous Biggest Loser workout, there's no sense of 'being in sinc'--I just choose my pace and stick with it because nobody keeps up with the music--not that the music is much to begin with. I am also used to the 'mirror image' concept, i.e, when the trainer says got to your right they are actually going to their left so both the viewer and participants are going in the same direction. Not so here--you have to pay attention if you want to stay somewhat syncronized.
Level 2: Jillian is quite relentless and you get no breaks for 10 solid minutes. No major problems here.
Level 3: This is the disappointing one. As noted in other reviews, it's not harder than the other two levels--I am honestly a little grateful for that because I don't think I could do it if it was harder--after the first two levels, my legs are protesting big time. It does get a little hard towards the end. I found Kim irritating. She appears unnaturally happy. I counted 6-8 times that she repeated, 'This is your cardio session/workout'--it gets very annoying. I am a big Turbo Jam fan so I found the kickboxing routines somewhat awkward at times. In one of the routines, you have to watch your knees if you are on carpet otherwise you could twist them causing injury.
All in all, definitely worth buying.

I have always been disappointed with workout videos, and I love this one. It's a great workout, and I love that it packs a lot of cardio into a short amount of time. Bob is great and I am seeing results.
The Cure to My Workout DVD Addiction!! May 2, 2008

I absolutely love this video! I've used MANY workout DVDs and this is the first one that really kicks my butt. I alternate this video with the Power Sculpting one, and I've lost 10 lbs and lots of inches in two months. I feel fantastic! Every time I put it in the DVD player I know that I am going to get a great sweat going. Plus, the DVD gives you something to work up to, so don't feel bad if you can't do the all of the moves or levels at first. I couldn't either, but I'm getting there now!
Bob's section is level 1, and make sure you have at least a pair of 5 lb weights for this. It involves a lot of squats and push-ups and jumping. Jillian has level 2 which was incredibly difficult for me to do after level 1 at first. It's basically 10minutes of plyometrics, or jumping exercises. The third section by Lyons is kickboxing. I personally don't think it should be level three, it isn't as difficult as the other ones, but it is somewhat difficult after doing the first two levels beforehand.
You can also customize you workout. So you can choose to do Level 1, skip Level 2, and do Level 3. Also on the DVD are inspiration stories from the Biggest Loser cast, which workout in the DVD. I loved that they were the ones working out and not some stick thin actors. They were sweating and grunting right along with me! :)
I HIGHLY suggest this video if you want a tough, challenging workout that delivers fast results. I reccommend doing it with the Power Sculpt DVD, too!

bob's segment is good and flows well. definitely level 1 stuff but keeps the heart pumping. jillian's level 2 segment is intermediate level but kind of choppy. kim's level 3 stuff stinks. she really just does a bunch of basic kickbox moves.
Sweating!!! May 1, 2008

I love this DVD! I have been doing it since I had my baby and it has really helped me shed the weight off. You will really sweat! The second and third level are challenging but not too exhausting. I really recommend this video if you are looking for an upbeat, nonstop exercise workout.
