Customer Reviews

Loreydean
The video is good to learn what exercises are good and work multiple areas of the body. It is not anything I would ever use except for information. It has the worst music I have ever heard. I don't even know why they bothered with the music because it absolutely does not work with the exercise. It is not a video I would ever work out too. I think the producers are just capitalizing on the show. Big, big disappointment.

I own 59 exercise videos. I don't care how good Michaels is with The Biggest Loser, I will never buy a product from The Biggest Loser again. I bought two other of her DVDs. They are not good for working out with either. Again, good info if you want to put together your own routine. But absolutely not a DVD you could work out to.

Front and Back side both are great workouts
I loved the workout not easy but no hard either.. alot of shoulder work in some of the workouts hard since I have had shoulder surgery.. Some of the positions require upper body.. Great workout though

Simple
Like may of the other reviewers, I do find this DVD set to be very simple. The set is simple, the equipment is simple, the moves are simple, etc. This DVD set gets straight to the point. Jillian has the three from the BL to show you the moves while she explains what they are doing while telling you the benefits of the exercise and showing you the proper form. The onw draw back is that the DVD moves a bit slow because of all the talk. I have moved on to going ahead with the circuits while she is still talking. I know the mvoes and what is required, so I feel confident in doing so. This DVD set is also very effective. I have been doing this set for two weeks and have lost a total of 3 inches and 4 pounds already. I know it does not seem like much, but it is a big deal to me. I have noticed a huge improvement in my activity level and overall happiness. If you want to get down to basic moves that work without all the fluff other workout DVDS have (fancy sets, equipment no normal person owns, obnoxious music, etc.) then this one is for you.
