The Biggest Loser: The Workout - Cardio Max (DVD)

Rating

I'd recommend this DVD for someone looking for an actual workout to get your heart pumping. I have a 1 year old and have a hard time working out on my Wii with him in the room but with this DVD I was able to do a full 1/2 hour with him there. Sure, some of the contestants weren't showing proper form, but I think the point was to be able to watch people who are more your pace then the trainer and not feel discouraged if you can't get it exactly right. The trainers give you tips on proper form to keep your core and back strong throughout so if you follow their directions you'll be fine. Definitely well worth the money!

So far, this workout has been excellent for me, but I am a seasoned exerciser. I like it because it is an effective cardio workout that involves multiple muscles groups at the same time. However, it does have a few drawbacks which is why I rated it at 4 stars as opposed to 5. One is that the cast members doing the workout are not demonstrating proper form - so, it's best not to look at them as an example, but follow the cues of the instructor and you should be ok. Another con is that the level 3 workout at the end with instructor Kim is very repetitive. I feel that this workout could have been choreographed better, but it does seem to be effective anyway. I do love how you can customize the workout on the main menu-this is a really cool feature. Overall, I would recommend this DVD as an addition to your workout library.

This dvd is great, it lets you follow at your own pace, I was very sore for a couple of days after using this dvd, which means that it worked out the areas that it said it would. Its only 30 min even I can give 30 min to improve my health.

This is an intense workout that exercises your entire body with both cardio and strength training. I was sore after using it the first time, I wasn't prepared for all the lunges, but I have been doing it for 2 weeks now and have gotten great results faster than I expected.

This is one of my least favorite of my workout collection and I haven't wanted to do it since the first time I tried it. I think I would be more motivated by having the instructors do more. Also, my CD does not flow directly from one workout to another but starts the track it just completed all over again.
