 Low intensity does not mean "low impact" January 3, 2006
S. Pierotti (Northern NJ, USA)
31 out of 34 found this review helpful
While I love the customization features of the DVD workout (the user can select which of the 6 workouts to complete) and also the suggested workout schedule for those new to working out who need a set regimen, I was surprised to see that the "low intensity" workout which is suggested for "beginners" is extremely high impact (lots of jumping jacks), although modifications are shown briefly. The personalities of the group are fun to watch while exercising, although it would have been nice if either Bob or one of the others would have been able to be consistent with the exercises the entire time (some of them stop momentarily or lose the routine briefly) it is difficult to follow in sections because of this. The aspects I really like are the fact that the workouts are very vigorous and that I'm able to pick and choose the sections I'd like to complete in my workout session.
Gets you sweatin' December 27, 2005

I just got this DVD, and I really like how I can customize my workouts. It definitely gets you sweating. I have tried other videos, and those do not get my heart rate/sweat going. The one thing that bugs me is that the music isn't very loud, and it seems like Bob and the gang are out of tempo. you do go at your own pace, so it really isn't a big deal. So, that is why I gave it a 4. (I would give it 4.5 if I could) I haven't tried the other workout rountines yet. I have only done the low intensity and I'm scared to do the high intensity! This is sure to get you into shape. No wonder those people on the show lost so much weight!
 Excellent Workouts December 23, 2005

I bought this mostly because I thoroughly enjoyed the show and definately preferred Bob's training style over Jillian's. I consider myself intermediate/advanced when I purchase workouts. After doing this workout the day I received - - I can definately see why the participants lose weight in the show. This is an EXCELLENT workout and it made me SWEAT. I programmed 60 minutes of workout my first time out and this definately will burn calories and get your heart pumping. The fact you can program what you wish to do is a wonderful feature that you don't receive with workouts costing twice this price. For this price you definately can't go wrong. This is definately a "keeper" workout in my workout regimen.
Real to life and the needs of an exerciser...oh, and fun too! December 21, 2005

I purchased this DVD on 12/20/05 in a local store. When I got home I looked to Amazon.com for a review and realized that I bought it on the first available date. I wanted to see how it was before I opened the package. In my opinion there is nothing worse than spending money on a workout DVD and then never using it because it sucks. Based on the other review of the product I decided to use it today.
Now, I like the Biggest Loser but the show would depress me sometimes. I was wary about the DVD but thought that it would be a great option for someone like me. Due to massive changes in my life and schedule I've gained 20lbs this year. I recently decided that I could not continue sitting on my ass. I wanted a good workout DVD to use in the cold winter months (and get me through the holiday season).
I put the DVD in my player today and was pleasantly surprised by the content. I like the 6 week workout plan and the different options that are available. What I like most was that the cast participants are "real" during the workouts. They do not act like "workout robots". They struggle, laugh, groan, and sweat. I actually laughed along with them. I love how Matt messes up- I think that would make alot of men more comfortable with doing it.
Bob is really down to earth, too. He is motivating but sometimes I wish he would do more of the workout than "train" me. I glanced at the high impact workout and noticed that Bob barely did the moves. I guess that is probably better because I need someone to motivate me more than show me the moves. He stresses that it is more important to keep moving than to be perfect or hurt yourself.
I really look forward to doing this workout again. I want to do the Boot Camp part next week when it comes up on the plan. I also can't wait to see how I feel and look at the end of the 6 week plan. I definitely needed a DVD that gives me options and is realistic. I hope this DVD helps to keep me motivated and allows me to have fun while getting in shape.
Its a Keeper December 2, 2005

This DVD has 5 different programs. You get 2 cardio segments 20 minutes a piece, a weights segment also 20 minutes, a bootcamp segment also 20 minutes, and a stretch segment which is only 10 minutes. The workouts are actually pretty challenging. The quality of the workouts are good, but there are a couple of reasons why I give this 4 stars instead of 5. This is very high impact. If you have joint problems this is not the DVD for you. There is ALOT of jumping. Also, this must have been recorded before the finale because the cast of former contestants were visibly unable to keep up on some of the exercises. Also, sometimes they would be going at a different pace, or be on a different foot, than Bob the trainer. These things can be pretty distracting. The versatility of this DVD is a big selling point. You can choose just one segment, or you can mix & match. Its really very user friendly. So, for the intensity of the workouts & the versatility of this DVD I give it 4 stars.
