Certified instructor description: Bob Harper motivates six actual TV show contestants through four 20-minute segments. You’ll feel like you’re just one of these enthusiastic, sweating-real-sweat weight-loss “winners.” Each segment features a distinct technique: low-intensity cardio, high-intensity cardio, body sculpting and aero/tone intervals. While the DVD lets you play them in any combination/sequence, Bob recommends a daily 34-minute workout (i.e. the warm-up, one of the exercise techniques, then the cooldown). Designed for beginners, the moves are easy to follow and Bob’s instruction is always super-clear. The toning section requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. DVD also has 20 minutes of inspirational "Biggest Loser" success stories. ©2005. DVD has: Programmable chapters, Close captions, Region 1.

The Biggest Loser: The Workout

my first Biggest Loser workout
I finally unwrapped this dvd, and did the strength workout. I had never done a Bob Harper workout before; I like his approach, and the modifications he offered, even as the moves progressed. I really liked the lengthy stretch and cool-down at the end; some workouts are too brief in this area. I will be more eager to do other Biggest Loser workouts. - posted by vanessa on 4/23/2012
Bob is tough but not too tough :)
We really loved this workout. It was just the right amount of aerobics and weight training. You definetly feel like you have done a good workout when you are done with this video! - posted by Rita on 2/23/2012
Really good workout
I am 67 yrs old, have worked out for many years...I'm no longer interested in 1 hour w/o's as they are not necessary for the results ...this DVD & more of the newer, shorter dvd's are a great example of the saying, " work smarter..not harder"! This DVD is a good example of this... - posted by Karen on 2/3/2012
BIGGEST LOSER V2
Well I'VE watched almost every season of Biggest Loser and I love it and it motivates me to do the same now I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks with a Biggest Loser video with Bob Harper and I love it. Thank you Bob. - posted by ROSY FLORES on 10/3/2011
Great Workout!
I can't say it enough. I love The Biggest Loser workouts. They are fun, motivating, and are easy to adapt to your fitness level and schedule! I love the stretch segment at the end. If you are shapely and have well loved curves then this is a workout for you! - posted by Kiesha on 4/28/2011
Great Workout DVD!
This is one of my favorite BL workouts. Love it because it works you on a cardio and strength-training level. The moves are easy to follow. You WILL sweat in this workout and feel that you have accomplished something, even if you only have time to do one segment. Bob is a very motivating instructor too. That helps. I recommend this workout to those who want a thorough workout in a limited amount of time. - posted by Maise on 1/22/2011
5 stars
Great video keeps me sweating and I love that real people struggling to get fit are used in the workout. The stretch section is relaxed and not rushed and I really enjoy ending my workout with it. I would recommend it! Just ordered 2 more Biggest Loser Workouts. The cast inspires me; Real people with real fitness obstacles to overcome like me :) - posted by gjonisee on 3/16/2010
Intense and Effective
I would consider this the most intense among all the Biggest Loser DVDs - especially if you do the entire DVD! I like the fact that there are several 20 minute workouts in this DVD that you can mix and match to make it longer as you wish. I am an intermediate exerciser and I like the high-impact options offered, although there are low-impact modifications for beginners. I am happy with my purchase! - posted by Chynna on 12/29/2009
Too difficult for true beginners
This workout is too hard for true beginners or those who still have alot of weight to lose. I couldn't finish the first workout, the low intensity cardio, despite doing the modifications. And I found out I really can't do jumping jacks yet without discomfort. - posted by Melissa on 3/23/2009
Good value and enjoyable
I like that there are several short workout choices on this DVD. I think this is definitly for a beginner but anyone will burn calories on any of the workouts. My only complaint is that they sometimes get out of synch but that is all. I love the squats which are mixed in. I have owned this video for a few years and still use it regularly. - posted by Melody on 1/9/2009

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Programmable chapters
X
At the beginning of your workout, you can select the exact segments you want to play that day. The DVD will then play all those segments in the order you chose.
Region 1
X
This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
