Certified instructor description: An exceptionally easy-to-follow workout specifically designed for beginners. You get lots of variety, lots of encouragement and lots of options (e.g. you can choose regular push-ups or push-ups on your knees). The instructors are clear and demanding, but a little less "intense" than usual — more like supportive personal trainers than drill sergeants. The program has four separate segments. They range from sports-inspired cardio and aero/tone intervals, to classic weight training and no-equipment body sculpting. All the workout participants are contestants from the 2011 TV show (some are large, some are small — but they're all motivated and enthusiastic). Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2011. DVD has: Programmable chapters, Music only option, Wide screen, Close captions, Region 1.

The Biggest Loser: At-Home Challenge

Meh...
Wow-Anna is ok to look at but her lack of speaking, or motivating, or doing well anything was a bit awkward. The cardio was meh-not very intense and Im not even sure I would call it cardio. Bob was good but a little repetitive-...Pass - posted by Video Freak on 2/17/2012
Challenging Workout
Okay, I agree with most people on the latest BL workouts. Anna really should not be on a workout video. I could barely manage to get through the warm up and cool down with her. She was painfully brutal. I was ready to fall asleep! However, Bob and Dolvett were really good. Dolvett wasn't as energetic as Bob but I think that will come with time and experience. I enjoyed both their workouts and even with skipping Anna's section altogether I got a really good workout. It was different, challenging, and fun! I say go with it but skip Anna's section completely! - posted by Kiesha on 2/6/2012

Dolvett & Anna are a really bad match for a workout video and don't really have the right talent to lead a workout DVD. - posted by CJ on 2/1/2012
workout
This is a wonderful workout. Using it almost everyday since I received it. A challenge but worth it! I have used other Biggest Loser ones and then was unable to workout due to surgery. This is a good place to start again. - posted by Tammy on 1/19/2012
Bad Trainers
Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince looked lost most of the time during this workout and like they had no idea what they were doing and seemed like they were just trying to fake being trainers. - posted by Bad Trainers on 1/18/2012
Great routines; harder than they seem
While this says beginner, it's harder than it looks and gives a really good workout. Gets harder and harder as you move through. Glad I bought it. - posted by Nancy on 1/17/2012
really bad instractors
I liked the section with Bob, but the other parts with Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince were awful in this workout. Their cuing and instructions were really bad and overall I think that Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince just have no clue on how to lead a workout video. Are they even real trainers? If they are real trainers then this is a complete joke. - posted by mark on 12/24/2011
So-so
I liked the two sections with Bob, but the other parts with Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince were lacking. Their exercises were OK but they certainly do not inspire. Anna's instruction is pretty bland and Dolvett's style was a little off putting for me. I saw a similar comment about their teaching from someone on their other new Calorie Killer workout. The first two sections are more beginner, but the two sections Bob leads should be rated intermediate. They are more invigorating and he is upbeat and encouraging and in your face as usual. So I'll just do his sections. - posted by Cheryl on 12/15/2011
Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Programmable chapters
X
At the beginning of your workout, you can select the exact segments you want to play that day. The DVD will then play all those segments in the order you chose.
Music only option
X
This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
Wide screen
X
The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.
Region 1
X
This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
