The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max
|
| ||||||||||||
 Pretty good :-) As you can tell by the cover, this workout is led by the three Biggest Loser trainers, Bob, Jillian and Kim. They are all outgoing and motivating and in this 50 minute workout, you will definately burn calories. You can play any segment in any order which I like to avoid boredom, or you can choose some of the challenging premixes. Bob leads a bootcamp segment where you can do the moves with or without weights to make it tougher if you want. Jillian doesn't mess around with her high intensity drills. They are tough, but stick to it for a while and it will get easier. Then at the end, Kim does kickboxing (which really gets your heart rate up). Some of seasons 3 and 4 are here too and they look great. I like this workout because it's tough and yet fun and I've only done it once so far, but I'm still feeling it and can't wait to try it again because I know it will get easier and it's a definate calorie and fat burner.

One TOUGH workout! Let me preface this by saying I have lost and maintained a nearly 40lb weight loss through eating and working out. I've completed a half marathon, run 20 miles weekly and have done numerous workout DVD's...including the original Biggest Loser DVD and even Jillian's separate workout DVD's. I don't say this to toot my own horn, but to give you a gauge as to how someone who's in good shape views this DVD. At least I thought I was in good shape until I popped this DVD in. This is a crazy hard workout that will workout every fiber in your body. Bob starts with Level 1 and gives you 20 minutes of heart pounding, lunge screaming and weight lifting cardio...at Level 1?? Jillian is next and she doesn't fail at delivering a 10 minute, high intensity level 2 cardio workout. Like I stated earlier, I've got her whole collection of workout DVD's and this 10 minutes with her, is just as bad (good) as a few of the 20 minute DVD's I've got with her. Bringing up the rear is Kim...and this one is a let down. For a level 3 cardio workout, she barely breaks even with Bob's Level 1. Now, if you do all 3 in a row like I do, then it does get a little tiring at the end with her, but if you just pop in her section for 10 minutes, I don't think you'd be pushing yourself very hard. In my own opinion, the workout difficulty would have gone Kim, Jillian and then Bob...do those jumping lunges and tell me that's not Level 3 cardio! All in all, this is a great workout DVD to add to your collection. The ability to customize your workouts is great and the some of the moves are new and I've never done them before. Start 2008 off right and lay down the cash for this. You won't be disappointed in the workout it gives you.  An Amazing Workout This is the most amazing workout ever! I highly recommend this video to anyone who is looking to bring their workouts up to the next level. I work out 4-5 times a week and always do at least 40 minutes of intense cardio at each workout. After the first 10 minutes of Bob Harper's workout, I was sweating and my heart rate was definitely up! It is nice to see real people doing the workout along with you and they even mess up from time to time. Bottom line, you have to get this dvd! Motivating! I just got this DVD last night and tried it this morning because I couldn't get to the gym. Loved it! Did it twice in a row! I love feeling like the Biggest Loser trainers are right in my own home. It's also very motivating to see the Biggest Loser contestants from this season and season's past. The trainers allow for variations in the exercises for easier to hard. Another thing I loved about it was that there were real people doing the exercises, even they screwed up once in awhile which made me feel more comfortable when I was off beat or didn't move along when everyone else did. Make sure you keep your eyes on the trainers as real people also don't always have the correct form, so you don't want to get injured. It was just nice to see the different stages different people were in also, in case there was an exercise I didn't feel comfortable with. Another plus to the DVD is that you have the option to either listen to the trainer talk through the DVD (which I listened to the first time) or you have the option to just listen to music (which I did the second time). The music was pretty motivating :) Can't wait to do this again and I'm going to get the Powersculpt DVD today to mix it up a little! Perfect for those days when it's too cold to go outside to jog/walk OR you just can't make it to the gym! Enjoy! Great workout This is a great cardio workout. It has 3 sections. Bob's section is 20 mins. The other 2 trainers are each 10 mins. There is a great yoga style cool down (5 mins) at the end. | |||||||||||||
