The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt

I love this video! Jillian Michaels really knows her stuff and knows how to give you a great work out that pushes your body without causing injury. I'm not new to working out but this still pushed me hard! And seeing overweight people being able to do the moves makes you know that anyone can do it - not just elite athletes!

I've been doing this DVD after 30 minutes on my treadmill, and it kicks my butt! The different levels of work out really help you start off slower (while still burning!) and work your way up. I really like the fact that the contestants are there suffering along with you, makes you know you can do whatever they are doing! I also just ordered the biggest loser workout vol. 2 and have been alternating this dvd with that one. I've actually never watched the show, but have now become a fan!

This video is okay if you do it after a cardio video. Contains excercises to work many different muscle groups. The better video is definitely the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. The 30 day shred is definitely challenging, and I workout all the time. The only videos that compare are Billy Blanks Ultimate Bootcamp and Amped Full Throttle. Plus you get a full body workout in just 20 minutes.

I have some of Jillian's workout DVD's so I thought this one with all 3 trainers would be great. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy these workouts at all. They kept me moving, yes, but they were too simple for me. I'm not a beginner, but I am by no means advanced. I thought I would like that the workout used former contestants, but I don't like it. They didn't stay together and the trainers didn't always do the whole workout so I felt like I was doing things wrong by watching them. The kickboxing segment that was supposed to be Level 3 was about as intense as walking. I see what that trainer isn't on the show anymore, she's just not very good. I would reccommend this video if you are new to exercising, but I would do something like Jillian's 30 Day Shred first so you actually learn about good form.

After doing the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD for 2 weeks, I started incorporating the Power Sculpt DVD every other day. I love that there are three levels and you can customize your workout. I have lost 23 lbs. in two months and I feel great.
