    Yes! I have used Biggest Loser's - Cardio Max, Power Sculpt and Last Chance Workout. I feel great after I use them for workouts and can see & feel the results in just a couple of days. They help you get your cardio in and tone your body at the same time.

    Thanks! I picked up The 6 week boot camp and I'm going on week 2 now without any drastic changes. I feel stronger but don't see much results...hopefully that will come as the levels get harder.
  • I've been doing the Cardio Max DVD. It's too early for me to know if I'll see results, but it's definitely kicking my butt.

    I like working out to the Biggest Loser Dvds' because you feel like your working out with friends, because you watched their transformations...plus working with Bob And Gillian makes me feel good.... They rock

    I have been doing the Biggest Loser Calorie Knockout and I love it. I have only been doing it just over a week, so I am no where near being able to go to level 2. I think the trainers are very motivating. I love it that they have the past contestants on there working out with you and not a bunch of skinny people on there. It is more motivational for me that way.

    The next time I go to Walmart I am thinking about picking up a different version of the Biggest Loser, just not sure which one yet. I like to keep a variety of workouts so that I do not get bored.

    I have the Calorie Knockout(with Anna right?) and I'm not overly pleased with it...I picked up 2 other videos at Giant Tiger(canada) for only $4 each! I did one tonight, it's amazing to be able to customize...you add what you want, so I did a 40minute workout--it was great!

    I am starting the 6 week maximum results program today- will be alternating cardio max with power sculpt 4 days a week ( 2 of each dvd )and other complimentary vids if i feel up to it on off days or same days. I did the power sculpt on the weekend and it was good, but decided to count today as day one, as its a monday

    I have the yoga for weight loss and it makes me sweat and kicks my butt! I love it though.
    Bob's not too bad to look at either while trying to pull off some of the poses.

    Keep in mind that muscle weights more then fat, and also that water weight fluctuates a lot- its not unusual when starting a new work out to maintain, or even gain a little at first before your body levels off and starts to lose- if your losing .5 a week you are doing great! slow and steady losses are maintainable!

    Total body weight/mass on its own is only one piece of the puzzle. If total body weight/mass is staying the same but like you said you are looosing inches then chances are you are building muscle. Start taking your body fat % which will give you your body composition, fat/muslce %,rather than just body mass.

    I love most of the Biggest Loser Workout DVDs! I actually gave up my gym membership (I hardly ever went) and now workout mostly with my DVDs. A great thing to do is check out a bunch of them from your library- that way you can try it out for free before you actually buy it!

    The less weight you have to lose the slower it seems to come off, also inches are what matters most, you are likely transforming your body, and muscle weighs more then fat!
  • My husband and I are doing the Calorie Knockout and the Cardio Max. Too soon to tell how well they work but it feels good and kicks our butt! But what I want to know is how do I add this to the exercise board to keep track of what I am doing? I don't know how many calories I am burning and I can't find any other way to put it in. I tried putting the individual exercises in but all I found were the jumping jacks....

    I have a couple DVDs, but I don't use them that often. I'm wondering, though, how you log that into your exercise diary? And how do you know the calories burned?

    I have the cardio max and power sculpt DVDs. Right now I am doing Turbo Jam workouts, but I honestly had better results when I did Cardio max last year! I haven't really incorporated the power sculpt with the cardio max workout as I just got it recently. How do you work both into your program? One day do you do cardio max and then next day power sculpt for each level?

    I was wondering the same thing. Did you ever figure out how to log it?
  • I just borrowed this dvd but how did you calculate the calories burned? I have looked on line and cant find a good source

    I recently joined MFP and started using TurboFire. Right now, the exercises are quite difficult to maintain all the way through. I continue doing the exercises to the best of my ability and incorporate lunges, pushups or jumping jacks when I can't keep up.
    I started the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt last year and loved it, losing several pounds, but didn't keep it up :( On my "rest days" with TurboFire or if I'm doing one of the lighter workouts, I'm going to do the Power Sculpt. I havent gotten past the first set of exercises with the Power Sculpt yet though.
    Since only starting to get back to exercising, I'll take it slow and see what works best for me and my abilities. One thing I know is that I have to push myself to keep moving when my muscles start to ache. Getting that last arm or leg raise, squat, pushup or power jump in makes me feel like I actually achieved something! Good luck :smile:

    My favorite is Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout. I was looking for an Intermediate/Advanced HIIT workout last year and found it on collage video. I grew to love it and still use it. Some complaints were they were "out of shape", some bad form, but if you did it the way you were supposed to and pushed yourself, it gave you a great workout. Most reviews are positive.

    I liked how you hit every body part and she did cardio and weights. The choice of weight makes a big difference, you can have it easy or hard. She will do 3 chest, 3 triceps, shoulder, back..core mixed in.

    I felt it was a very productive fun workout.
