 On my way! November 18, 2009
A. Sturdivant (Montgomery, AL)
I watch the Biggest Loser and have always loved Jillian and wanted to work out with her, when I looked for videos to complete my fitness makeover, Bob never crossed my mind. Boy was I wrong!!!! I love this workout and he is so encouraging even when my arms are shaking and I'm sweating like you wouldn't believe. This workout would be perfect for anyone that believes they would be able to lose weight if they had a workout like on the show. My only issue with it was the modifications and the cueing. Often you'll see the camera on Bob and then someone off to the side having to adjust and change up to get on the right count. Also with the modifications, I hate watching Heba and Vicky, Heba especially she really looks likes she's not trying hard and that's very unmotivating. Overall though love the video and will report back at the end of Week 6, with an update on how I did.
 Bob will get you moving and sweating! October 29, 2009
C. Curran (Clifton, NJ USA)
Let me preface this review by saying I am not an exercise lover. I have never been one of those people that enjoys working out. Yes, I do exercise, because I know it is important for my health, and it is aiding me in my weight loss journey. That being said, I was shocked when I started doing this DVD workout...because I found myself enjoying it! From the start of this workout, Bob motivates you and just when you feel like you might throw in the towel, he somehow convinces you to keep going. I was exhilarated after completing just one week of this Biggest Loser bootcamp and I was inspired to keep it up for the the full 6-week workout program.
This workout DVD has three levels and the idea is to spend two weeks working out at each level: Level One is 30 minutes in total, including the 5-minute warm up and cool down segments. Level Two tacks on an additional fifteen minutes to Level One, and Level Three adds 10 minutes to your workout. When you reach the 5th and 6th weeks of the program, your workouts will last 55 minutes. The workouts combine high-intensity weight lifting and muscle toning intervals with brief cardio intervals. Bob provides an intense workout for sure! When I started the bootcamp, my heartrate started to climb within the first three minutes of the warm-up period! And I am always bathed in sweat and breathing heavy by the end of any level of the workout. Also, the strength training exercises really help you build muscle and tone--I was sore and achy from the workouts for the entirety first week (of course, I had not been doing any strength training, so if you are already very fit, you might not feel the burn as much).
What I really like about this workout DVD is that you can tailor it to your own fitness level. You can use whatever weight of dumbbells you feel most comfortable or most challenged by; also, there is always at least one contestant who modifies the moves so that beginning exercisers will be able to complete the workout without exhausting themselves. For instance, in one cardio segment, when the contestants are doing jumping jacks, one contestant (Heba from Season 6) is marching in place. This is helpful if you are new to an exercise regimen.
Fans of the show (like me!) will like working out with Bob, who pushes you but provides support at the same time. It is also fun to see the contestants from past seasons; even the most fit of them work up quite a sweat! But if you don't watch the show, you'll still be getting in a great workout.
I would definitely recommend this workout to anyone looking to increase the intensity of their exercise routine and add elements of strength training and muscle toning exercises. I don't think I would recommend this workout for brand new exercisers, as it really is quite a workout. But for anyone who does the least bit of exercise (I was only engaging in a walking routine for a few weeks before starting this bootcamp DVD), it will definitely give a boost to your exercise regimen.
Final Word: And yes, I have lost weight during the course of the 6-week bootcamp; but I am also a Weight Watchers member. So while I can't say for sure that the Biggest Loser Bootcamp will definitely make you lose weight, I think if you are also engaging in healthy eating habits and watching portion sizes, then this DVD can aid you in your weight loss journey!
Biggest loser boot camp kicks butt! October 18, 2009
Gthang (Arizona)
I am really glad that I purchased the Biggest loser boot camp. I started doing the boot camp about twice a week in addition to my daily walks and bike riding, and I've already lost 5 lbs in just 3 weeks! I plan on bumping up my boot camp work-outs to 3-4 times per week and can't wait to see better results!
Great for the whole family! October 18, 2009

I like the building of different levels and the mix of cardio and weights. It makes for a great workout.
