Biggest Loser Workouts

Hi
I have the biggest loser dvd and its fantastic !! Also wii zumba xx

I picked up The Biggest Looser 2 at ROSS (for $3) and my Hubby & I tried it last nite. It was a lot of fun, and although I am considered fit, I still sweat like a pig! I really enjoyed it (of course for his sake I did the men's workouts with him & really really liked those better than most womens workouts :happy: )

The basic concept is warm-up, cardio, strength training & cool down. Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, basic circuit training works as well (I got great arm def using that & her No More Trouble Zones as evidenced in the pic - PS, I don't use more than 8 or 10 lb dumbbells & this is what I've achieved!).

I would really recommend starting your workouts SLOWLY!! unless you are already considered fit. Start with 30 mins 4-5 times per week, then build up to 45 mins, then an hour & then maybe do an AM workout & a PM workout 3-4 times per week (keep around an hour on each workout). If you hit too hard too fast you will burn out & lose the enjoyment. I've built up over the last 2 years to where I am now: started with mild workouts & now can handle an 80+ minute intense kickboxing DVD, but again, I started slow. I found workouts I would enjoy and didn't go overboard to the point I'd lose the drive. This is 4-Life, I want to keep this up 4-Life and I definitely think it's doable :happy:
Best of luck to you & your friend - Enjoy your new Fitness :flowerforyou:

Started the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shredd. It is a great work out for a beginner. It is 20 minutes. Personnaly I don't think working out for 5-6 hours a day is healthy. You may see great results in a short time but will it be something you can stick to for the rest of your life? I don't know about any body else but I have a family and other life things to do. I could not maintaint hat type of schedule and have time for my family and my self. An hour or two a day is more realist.

Please just stick with starting slow & easy. As much as I love to workout, I limit myself to an hour each AM 5-6 times per week, workout for additional 30-60 mins 3-4 nites per week (those are with my Hubby) and take a rest day. I can't STRESS how important those rest days are. I've overtrained & am battling to undo the damage I did.

I know you really want this, but nothing worth it comes quick and easy. The tortoise said it best "slow and steady wins the race" and I am living walking muscling proof of that :flowerforyou:

oh YAY a new post lol I was just realizing all these were from august! I am doing the cardio blast. I push myself to do more than just one level though. I haven't been doing it long enough to know how well it works but man it makes me sweat! I did level one and two yesterday with the warm up and cool down, then today I did all three levels with the warm up and cool down, but i took a water and rest break for a few minutes inbetween each set! I will be updating after i have done it a month, on how it worked out and with measurments! If you wanna, you can add me so you can see how it worked for me!

I do Biggest Loser Cardio Max and Power Sculpt 3-5 times a week, and they worked for me. :O)

how do you log the cardio max on here?
