The Biggest Loser Workout, Vol. 1

I'm a fairly active, 5 months postpartum mom, trying to lose 10 lbs of baby weight. My favorite part of this video is the variety of workouts and the flexibility to program your own depending on how you feel. Each of the 4 workouts (minus the warm-up and cool-down sections) is only 20 minutes, which is nice for me because I never have huge chunks of time. My heart rate gets up and stays up the entire time. That low-impact workout has more lunges and squats than I've ever done, I can't imagine a true beginner completing that section at first. I enjoy having real people doing the exercises instead of perfect models, even if it means they get off beat and are hard to follow sometimes. I also like that you have a music only option. However, that brings me to my biggest con of this video....the music is terrible. It is completely repetitive and is just the theme music from the show. The workouts don't move in sync with the music and it can be challenging to keep a rhythm. That being said, Bob is a good motivater and trainer, the workouts are great exercise, and I enjoy doing them despite the music. For the price, this one is a definite keeper.

I'm a Mom with two kids under two years - so, getting to the gym is pretty difficult. Bob is motivating, encouraging and tough! This video is fantastic. I love that you can select the individual segments that you want to do and it'll play them without you having to fast forward. I also like that Bob gives you a few different ways to do the exercises depending on your skill or fitness level. (Sometimes the method I use depends on how exhausted I am!) Definitely worth a try.

I teach aerobics and have been working out for several years, and this video, especially the high intensity and boot camp workouts, are challenging and tough. You feel great at the end, like you really accomplished something. The workouts are short, too, so you don't have to spend hours to get a great w/o in.

Great DVD to exercise at home. Only need to spend 30 minutes and you realy get good sweat, also, very easy to follow.

Very high impact but I just substitute other cardio excercises like stair stepping, marching, speed skating, etc. while the video shows jumping jacks and lunges (those kill my knees.)
