Summary: What a workout
Comment:
I love this DVD!!! Let me first say I am not by any means excessively overweight (I am 5'2 and 146lbs). I used to be 120lbs until I had my son and I never lost the weight. Im tired of being big so I bought the dvd thinking that if these people are over weight then this would be a good pace for me.
I like that the people in the videos are people from the past seasons. One thing I hate seeing in a workout video is people who are already in shape. They make me fee like I wil never get to where they are. Seeing the sturggle that these people have gone through give me assurance that I can do this too. I also like the way that it breaks it down in to seperate weeks. Also no one is ever together in the workout and the instructor is really funny.
The only thing I think is negative about the video is, as I said I am not too terribly big but I am out of shape. These people on the dvd may be bigger but since they were on the show they are in better shape than I am and when you pick up the dvd your thinking it will start you out with baby steps.... DON'T think that because you are wrong!!! Even the first weeks exercises are brutal, I poured sweat and had to take a couple breaks to shake off the muscle burn. All in all a very good buy!!

Summary: Good workout
Comment: This was a good workout, and easy to navigate. Some of the exercises, even in the beginning section, are very hard. I'm betting that the cast probably couldn't do anything like it when they got to the ranch.

Summary: Thank you, May I please have another
Comment: This one is a must have! I love it! Level 1 is hard but can be completed by beginners. Level 2&3 are good, but I think I'm still worn out from level 1 by then. I have never seen such amazing results from a 20 min workout. When I started, I lost 7 lbs my first week just doing Level 1! Now I mix it up and do 2 of the levels, but I'm about to start the PowerSculpt DVD.

Summary: Great beginner work out
Comment: I am a little over weight for my height and hate going to the gym. I was told I needed to exercise daily... and OH I hate working out...
I bought the dvd and tried it. It's been 3 weeks and I think the difference I see is endurance. I could not keep up for the life of me when I started. I basically did the warm up, straight to the cool down. (You can laugh but I am weak!) Little by little I was able to follow with the program and I like that you can add the level as you go. I am still at level 2... I am actually trying to keep up at that level.
I think this dvd would be perfect if you want to work out at home. The first level is very hard but just work at it everyday and you'll see a difference.
The only thing I don't like is that there is no stretching exercises and if I dont stretch on my own, my muscles tense up. Also I with there was a longer cool down... it doenst feel good when the cool down starts right after a very intense work out.

Summary: Excellent, except.....
Comment: 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.
