Certified instructor description: Four indoor walking workouts led by Bob Harper and previous “Biggest Loser” contestants. For motivation and interest, each workout features a different exercise technique (but you can always return to a “plain walking” option). Bob leads two segments. The first is the basic introduction to walking-style movements. The second is more intense; it includes short “cardio bursts” (moves like speed skating and jumping jacks). Previous show contestants lead the other two sections. Sione Fa integrates dumbbell toning into the cardio. And Tara Costa intensifies her aero/tone segment with a medicine ball. Sunny, outdoor setting. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells and a medicine ball (a dumbbell will also work). ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option, Wide screen, Region 1.

The Biggest Loser: Power Walk

Mixed feelings on this one
First off I really like Bob. He is great at getting you to do what he wants as he is just so darn motivating. I wanted a workout that was a walking theme but harder than Leslie Sansone. This video would have been perfect if Bob had lead through the whole workout. I really don't like the contestants being the instructor. Why not put the pro up front and let the beginners follow him?! I really like the harder mile that Bob instructs, really gets you sweating and you can do a modifier if jumping jacks and the other moves are too hard. And this is a small complaint but I found the workout tights the girls wear with a stripe down the front to be annoying to look at after awhile. I did like the music and it being filmed outside. I am hoping Bob will make a walking dvd of his own, it would be awesome! - posted by Helena on 4/11/2012
Good Cardio Workout
At first I thought this would be easy. However, after doing this video it is hard for me to keep up. Although I am used to doing some of these moves on other tapes, I still find I am using different muscles and exhausted by the time I am finished. I am soaking wet with sweat. This is a great video, and a great workout. I am in my 60's and still able to keep up. - posted by Pat on 3/29/2012
Good for light days
This works if you want to try something different. I wish Bob Harper had one the entire video. The two contestants who did part of this video were very boring and non-motivating, and I really regret that they did the cool-down segment. - posted by Joyce on 3/26/2012
Good Workout
Each mile has something different in it, which helps keep out the boredom. Has upper body movement as well as legs. People in it are regular people - you feel like if they can do it, so can you. Has power sprints at the end of the miles, but otherwise I would call it beg. to intermediate workout. I like it! - posted by Cheryl on 3/15/2012
Love the workout BUT.......
This is a great workout but Tara's grammar, in mile 4, is absolutely horrible and actually interferes with my workout enjoyment. Couldn't someone have reviewed the audio and asked her to correct the inappropriate use of the adjective "good" when she should have been using the adverb "well"? If not for these repetitive grammatical errors, I would have given it 5 stars. - posted by Barbara on 3/12/2012
So much fun!
This workout was a blast. It's a great cardio option especially for people that need low-impact. I only did the sections with Bob as I'm not a fan of the contestants leading the workout. I may give them a try at some other point though, as I didn't mind the cool down with them. I will say the two sections with Bob were amazing! I can't even describe how much fun I had and I sweated A LOT! I'm an intermediate and work out 5-6 days per week with Crunch/Biggest Loser/Jillian/Tae Bo/Ellen Barrett. I'm a curvy girl so I really enjoy Crunch/BL/Callanetics, and Ellen Barrett the most. I love this website as they have so much to choose from. I've had this DVD for months and this was my first time using it. So much fun!!! Best walking DVD I've tried HANDS DOWN, AND TWO THUMBS UP! - posted by Kiesha on 2/10/2012
Biggest Loser Powerwalk
Great video & workout. I feel a difference already just after 2 weeks! Bob is a fantastic trainer. I am in my early 60`s and the workouts are still easy enough for me to do. - posted by Fran on 1/14/2012

Great DVd
I have many Leslie Sansone DVDs and they helped me in losing my weight. This Biggest Loser DVD adds variety. It is now my favorite walking DVD. I am a female in my 60's. - posted by Angel on 12/3/2011

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.
sample time graph
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
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
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.
