Biggest loser cardio max

I don't know how many calories are burned but I did this DVD 2 days ago for the first time and I can hardly walk from all the lunges and squats! My legs are majorly sore. How did you do with it? I put in 20 minutes of cardio on here on our exercise report. I wasn't too sure what to put. I would love to know myself! Good luck!

The first time I tried it I got through 15 minutes (5 were warm up) and the next day I felt like I was going to die...I was sore for 4 days after that and the only thing that finally made it go away was soaking in the jacuzzi when I went to the spa...

I use to so it when I first started losing weight almost 1 year ago, but I had surgery back in May so I kinda slacked on doing the dvd and resorted to walking. Well I did it yesterday and OMG! I am sore, my legs, bottom and shoulders...I was going get up and do the power sculping max dvd this morning but I just couldn't move..Maybe later today. Take care:bigsmile:

I also have the Power Sculpt dvd from the Biggest Loser. And I have another Biggest Loser workout dvd, and Jillian Michaels Cardio Kickbox which I haven't done yet. I watched (yes watched!) the Cardio Kickbox and it reminded me of Billy Blanks Tae Bo so I know I will like it. It took 2 days after the Cardio Max to get on the elliptical machine....sore sore sore. I love that feeling!!:bigsmile: :happy:

thanks for answering my question!!! can I get one at any fitness store? I saw someone talking about a Polar F6 for women. Do I have to make sure it is for ladies? Thanks again for your wisdom! I'm still new here and trying to get my barings!

I think in general you can enter it as "aerobics".

One thing to keep you from being sore, make sure that you don't do the same workout everyday. Especially things that work specific muscles like power sculpt. I rotate through power sculpt, walking, and biking. Just make sure that you aren't doing the same thing or you can seriously overwork your muscles and strain something.

Totally awesome workout!:bigsmile:

hell i couldnt even get through 12 mins i hope i do better next time!

I just got an HRM and here's what I got:

I'm 5 '4, 138 lbs and I burned 356 calories doing the warm up (5mins), level 1 (20 mins), level 2 (10mins) and stretching on my own.

All together my HRM said 41 minutes and 356. Just a guide for someone who may be my size.

THANK YOU! I'm exactly your size and I was struggling with how to log this. I appreciate you being so specific!

Just a tip for those having a hard time with cardio max- if you can convince- do it with your husband! My husband is VERY in shape and it's a good exercise for him. By that I mean, he's upping it a bit by using super heavy weights and he goes faster during the cardio bursts, but he's breathing hard, red, sweating, and ready for it all to be over by the end. That makes me not feel so bad for struggling with it!!!
It helps me not to quit to do it with him though. I can't do those weird pushups, so I just keep at normal ones at my own pace, and there's a few times I have to take a breather towards the end, but I do finish. Don't think I could unless I was working out with him.

The cardio max dvd is one of my favorites, but it got messed up(gets stuck), so can't use it. Now, my power sculpt dvd is doing the same thing. grr! It did take me a bit to progress through it, but each time it got easier for me. Now I'm working on some of Jillian's other dvds. They are killer to me(one 20 min workout=1 hour+ of the others). not trying to frighten you, just stating my experiences.

Yeah, Don't give up sometimes what I do when I get to a workout I dont have the stamina to complete, I pause the Video and go... away and then I'll come back later that day and do a few more minutes.
This is actually a style called Bursting and basically you're just getting your heart rate up for a few minutes, several times a day, and you burn alot of calories this way too KEEP GOING!

I know this is an old thread, but I just found a resource that might help everyone wondering about calories burned using this DVD.

just put in your weight, duration and hit calculate.

good luck everyone!

Why go through so much work of going to other websites etc.? If you enter 30 min. of aerobics as an exercise here on myfitnesspal, it will calculate the calories for you based on your height/weight. HRMs will certainly be more exact, but all the tools are right here in front of you if you don't have one.
