 It really makes me SWEAT September 2, 2008

I really like this DVD. I'm 31 and weighed 291 lbs. when I started it. When I first started doing it I could only do the 5 mins. warm up and I was already sweating. The next day I did 5 mins. warm up and 10 mins. of the actual level 1. I stopped when Bob started doing the push ups. The 3rd day I only did 8 mins. worth. However, the 4th day I felt guilty for not giving it a decent chance and pushed myself to do the entire level 1. Level 1 is tough, but if I did it being 5'2 291 lbs. then anyone should be able to do it. I mean seriously! I personally don't like doing push ups so when they all hit the ground I do something else, but still keep working out. I still haven't gotten to level 2 or 3 and probably won't for a while. I'm taking it slow. I just recently started using dumbbells for more of a cardio workout like they suggest. All in all, I've been using it for 1 month straight with weekends off and now I'm weighing in at 278.2 lbs. I've been eating healthy and not starving myself. Those 30 mins. of work out have really helped. I do the 5 mins. warm up, then the 20 mins. cardio and lastly the 5 mins. cool down. I am sweating like crazy and I love it.
What a workout! September 1, 2008

This was by far the hardest workout I have done. I was sweating like crazy and was definately sore the next day. I think this video does a great job of keeping your body working, although it's hard to follow Bob's segment as many of the Biggest Losers are off sync or not doing the full movement. But, if you just put your own effort into it, you'll do fine. I highly recommend this video!

This DVD is really great to build your cardio. It allows you to costomize your workout. So, if you only have 20 minutes, you can still squeeze in an intense workout. But, if you have 40 minutes, it also allows for a longer workout. I would recommend it for both beginners and for those who have been working out and are looking for a DVD that will allow you to get in an intense workout when time is an issue.
 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.
