 Bob's workout is great, but DVD lacks form pointers August 28, 2008
Bob's workout is by far the best of the three, as it is short enough to get it out of the way, yet long enough to get results if done consistently. Good variety of exercises, and you could use this as a strength/cardio component to add to a Callanetics or yoga workout.
What I didn't like about this workout:
Few form pointers: Bob briefly performs each exercise, and mentions form pointers, but out of all the exercisers, only 1 or 2 are even approaching proper form, which is not good as the camera is usually focused on the others who are nowhere near it.
No indication of the correct pace or cadence at which to perform the exercises when you do get up to speed--it is very easy to overwork one side at the expense of the other. He seems to be working in 30-second segments at times, but not all the time. He also counts backwards, which is fine except you don't know where you're starting from.
If you have knee problems and/or are in similar physical condition to the BL contestants on the DVD you will want to modify the movements somewhat. There are a lot of squats, knee bends and some jumping.
The other two workouts with Jillian and Kim have the same problems with lack of proper form pointers and a lot of squats and knee bends, and some jumping. They are only 10 minutes each, so it may or may not be an issue for some people. Bob's workout uses light weights, the other two do not. You can do most of the workouts on carpet if you have to, but be careful.
The cool down did not have nearly enough stretching in it to be worth doing.
When they come out with the next DVD they need to have a short section where Bob demonstrates proper form (both from the front and the side), include some exercises which can get your heart rate up without being so hard on the knees, and put more actual stretching into the cool down.
3.5 stars, but rent it first.
 Yes, I love it August 25, 2008
I love this workout with the Power sculpt DVD. I've been working out regularly for about six months since my baby was born and I do this workout at least one a week. Some people don't like that the people aren't in sync or that there is kind of a lack musical beat, but I love that fact because you can slow down and speed up to meet your bodies needs. The workout is harder if you work harder. But coming from child birth I found I still got a good workout following it at a slower pace. The workouts can range from 20 to 50 minutes depending on what you have time for (or what your kids have time for). I really love this workout.
 Good, but not enough variety August 23, 2008
This workout will leave you sore the next day..!
But, on the down side it doesn't have alot of variety to the moves.
There are constantly squats, which put quite a bit of strain on my knees.
Overall, it is effective and fun to take part in.
A great workout video. August 21, 2008
Since having my second child I have tried many different workout tapes. All of them had their good points but after a while they tended to get boring or I didn't really notice any difference in my body and weight. What truely made a difference was just getting outside and walking everyday. Now that I have three kids, I find it harder to get out to walk everyday. Love the biggest loser show and really like the trainers. Decided to try their workout dvd and absolutely love it. Not only does Bob, Jillian and Kim make me sweat...I could feel every muscle being worked after the first workout with Bob on level 1. Really had me sweating and I love the encouragement you get from the trainers. Not to mention, it is great to see the contestants form biggest loser on the video. Most of the time when watching a workout dvd everyone is fit and personally does nothing for me. They are not feeling the strain that I am...so it makes me ask myself, why is it so hard for me? Being able to do this with those striving for the same goals is wonderful. I truely enjoy this workout tape as well as the other and would highly recommend anyone buying this. Well worth the money!!
Great DVD August 19, 2008
The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max is one of the best DVD's I come across so far. The workout is simple ,but is really does work and accompanied with diet it is great tool for losing weight.
