The Biggest Loser: Cardio Max |
  Good workout |
| This is a good cardio workout if you don't look at the Biggest Loser cast members. The trainers start the exercises but stop and let the camera span across the cast members; so you're forced to re-wind so that you can review the proper form when the trainers start the exercise. Then don't watch the cast because they're all over the place (some are going to the right while the others are doing the same exercise going to the left). But if you can get past all that you'll get a good workout. - posted by Linda on 1/24/2010 |

| Good Work Out |
| I Thought this was a great work out, I love that it combines the cardio with the weights, for best effect. I Just love Bob on the 1st level, for me at more a beginning level ( I plan to alternate these workouts with lower impact ones ) I thought it was just right. I was worried because I do have knee problems but when they explained the correct way to do the moves, and included lower impact modifications (such as explaining it's ok to not go too low,or showing the jumping jack alternative) I found it was my muscles rather than my knees that was feeling it, which is as it should be. It's great for me to find a good cardio workout where you don't have to jump around like the energizer bunny :) I will be on level one for a while I think, after reviewing the other levels, which should serve me well for some time
Like others I actually loved the fact that it was real people with real difficulties, as opposed to the perfectly in sync robotics of some of the videos out there. It demonstrated what Bob keeps saying, 'just keep moving if you can't do this yet you'll get there' and I enjoy the banter, but if I do get bored with it, there is a 'music only' option :) - posted by Jadia on 11/21/2009 |

| Buy this DVD and get skinny! |
| This is a very good workout video for beginners, intermediate and advanced users. You don't need 60 minutes to burn fat, that person is wrong there. This is high impact and really gets you going, so what if a coupe of the Biggest Loser guys and girls get out of sync a bit and Bob isn't supposed to be doing the exercise the whole time. He is the Instructor and can walk around and instruct, he isn't making fun of anyone.... so many complainers here. This video is great, you can customize it with the warm up, cool down and 3 cardio sessions. I highly recommend this DVD. You wont be disappointed. - posted by Burt on 11/11/2009 |

| If you can do Jari Love this is too easy |
| Sure you sweat and Bob gets your heart rate up - and Jillian's cardio is tough but Kim's is so easy my heart rate dropped completely so I added my own jumping jacks in. Each segments should be 20 minutes so you can go to 60 but instead they've done it so Bob is 20 minutes, Jillian is just 10 and Kim's section is 10 for a total of 40 minutes of cardio and to burn real fat you need not only a high heart rate but 60 minutes of cardio. - posted by Ashley on 10/27/2009 |

| Favorite "Go-To" Cardio Video |
| I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser and have owned this video for at least a year. It really keeps my heartrate up; I'm dripping sweat by the end of the workout. Kim's session seems to be the easiest of the 3 workouts by far, but by the end I'm ready for something a little easier. Sometimes the cueing is a bit off which threw me a bit at first, but after you've done it a few times you don't really notice it. Bottom line, great workout, highly recommend if you are looking for a fat-buring workout. - posted by Suzanne on 10/11/2009 |

| love it... |
| This video has kept me motivated to exercise an it is nice to see real people doing the video...I have used other videos and there always skinny people doing the exercise which isn't very exciting to see because some don't even break a sweat...but this video gives you motivation to keep doing and the routine is not boring at all...I've recommended this video to people because it is very different from others....love it and would recommend it to anyone! - posted by carol on 8/6/2009 |

| Jillian is my Hero, but....Horrible |
| Jillian is my hero, I love love love her!! But this workout is a mess. The cast is all over the place, the choreography is disjointed - what a disappointment. It had potential if only the cast was in sync with the instructor's cues and the music. The only good thing about this video is a realistic looking cast, Jillian (who I already said that I LOVE) and the fact that it can be broken up into segments. I will occasionally use a 10 minute block of this to add on to a shorter work-out for and added punch. - posted by Michelle on 7/11/2009 |

| Don't buy this video |
| The serious problem with these Biggest Loser videos is that the trainers don't do the workout the entire time and you end up following people who aren't doing the moves correctly. I ended up getting confused. Until this workout, I didn't realize how much I actually watch the people in the background. I love Jillian, Bob and Kim. I'm going to order some of Jillian's videos that aren't the Biggest Loser ones. If I would have bought this video through Collage (stupidly I didn't) I would be sending it back. - posted by Julia on 6/26/2009 |

| Messy Workout.....Mess,MESS! |
| Oh my! What a mess of a video workout! The moves, especially in Bob's level are very good, IF only he will do them, or show you proper form, or cue you..but no..he is running around the set, joking and babbling along. And how about the guys in the back...I thought one of the girls was going to get injured right there, doing the jumping LUNGES..None of the people are on sync and needless to say they are not doing the exercises correctly,and the instructor instead of teaching them proper form they laugh and mock them...so you have nobody to follow to execute proper form. And please be careful with your knees doing this video... - posted by Aimee on 6/24/2009 |
