The Biggest Loser DVD--who's using it?
 

Hi y'all....anyone out there using the DVD on a regular basis?

I used it for six days in a row last week. I really enjoy it! I can already feel the benefits!:wl:

Hi Jen, I started using it last week (5 times). I just finished it today. I seem to already see some benifits as well. The worst part of the video for me is during the strength and sculpt part when it comes to the stomach exercises. I've always been weak in the stomach muscle area, but today I could keep up a little better.:) I also find the lunges tough in the cardio section, I'm not very flexible. Hopefully that will change. Any way I really enjoy doing it. Jodi

I bet that will all change, the longer you do it! That is what I am hoping for too....for a big girl I'm fairly flexible, but would like to be more so.

I'm going to do the whole 6 week program, then do something different for awhile.

I'm using it!!
 

I am using the biggest loser dvd and I think that it is absolutely great. Can't wait to see exactly how I look and feel in 6 weeks!!

I'll be doing it for the 6 weeks, that should be Feb 11. Then I thought I would start doing low and high intensity cardio in one day. And on the other days I would do sculpt and boot camp, I will do that for 6 more weeks. After that I hope I will be in good enough shape to start Jillian's DVD's.

I am a new member, and I'm glad you started this thread. ;)

I just bought the DVD on Thursday last week. My plan is to use the DVD Monday thru Thurs every night. On weekends, I will do my normal walking/jogging/weight routine. I liked the workout I tried on Thursday. Though the moves are very simple in the first workout, I found that I was sweating and slightly winded! I love how simple the moves are....Hopefully, I will have some weight loss to report soon!

I can't find it at any stores near me :( So you all like it? I so want to gt one. Is that the old season or the new? Anske

The DVD has contestants from both seasons. I really like doing the workout because the movements are simple, yet I still get a good work out. Most DVD's have to many dance type moves in them, and I can't dance so I always find them confussing.

Anske, You can go to amazon.com to purchase it for 8.99 if you can't find it in stores near you.

I purchased my copy of the BL DVD from Amazon. I also purchased Jillian's Book and 5 DVD set.

I really like the BL DVD. I only did exercises 1 & 3 so far but they were fairly easy to do. I could feel my legs burn after doing exercise #1 and my abs hurt for like 2 days after doing exercise #2.

My hardest thing is finding time to do the DVD every day.

I am so excited I went to Walmart again! Something told me to go. lol And there it was! :) Oh yea I am going to start it right now. I also bought hand weights also. Lets go girls. lol Sorry a bit excited. See ya when I am done to tell ya what I think. Bye Anske

Wow that was the best 9.99. I have ever spent. I love it girls. Thanks for letting me know it is good. We can do it girls. :) Anske

wow, another workout vid i think i'll have to get! sounds great!

It's so cool to see so many of you using it! I know after only seven workouts with it I can already feel the difference in my body!

If I started a The Biggest Loser Workout Journal thread on here, would anyone be interested in checking in daily with your workout? You know, like the Jillian's girls are doing! That way, we can encourage and support each other as we go along!

What do you think?

I love this dvd. It's the only exercise dvd I've seen where I haven't been so annoyed by a perky trainer I wanted to slap them. I <3 Bob.I did the Strength and Scuplt yesterday and I feel it today. The movements are deceptively simply and after a few seconds it's OMG! I can feel that. I can't wait to try the other workouts.

I'm doing Jillian's workouts, but I think it would be cute if you had a "Bob's Girls" thread! Then he won't have to feel left out :D

I'll probably wind up getting the BL workout dvd too at some point, I like to mix 'em up to keep workouts interesting!

I would definitely be interested!! Something needs to keep me motivated ;)
I think it would definitely help me consistently follow the 6 week program plus some if we had a journal where we were all accountable.

Jen4115,

I am all for it girl. I am still so excited. I am neww to this so let me know what to do and I am in. For those of you who don't have it I would get it cause it is Awsome!!! :) Anske

ethsmommy, sure you can!

I think Bob is cute too....but I think he bats for the other team....not sure though!

sounds great Jen. I do 1 and 3 six days a week. I would enjoy posting daily

I just did this yesterday (1 time - low intensity w/warm up & cool down) WOW my legs & arms hurt!! Feel the burn.....
Don't forget about tonight's show!!

I missed the first 2 seasons but watched last Wednsday and it really inspired me to see that older people with kids and slower metabolism's can do so great! I immediately ordered the exercise video through Overstock.com (they have the cheapest shipping) and am still waiting to get it. It is great to see you that have it are enjoying it so much..I really want to watch the past programs so hopefully they will be repeating them or they will come out at the video rental stores.

Hello,

Still trying to figure out how to do the weight tracker. lol A little slow on the computer. Have a good night. :) Anske

yea I figured it out!

Not that there's anything wrong with that...;)

Jen - you've been kicking some serious (!) with your workouts!! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Well today is my first day with using the DVD............I'm so excited.........I can't wait to eat dinner and do it!!! Well just thought I would let you know!!

Well ladies just wanted to update my progess!!!

Ethsmommy, it looks like they opened a new thread for the DVD workout journal....I just found it today....You'll have to look under the forum "exercise" and you'll see it, I think it was titled "biggest Loser DVD workout journal" or something like that.....:)

I got one yesterday.. been searched for one! Found one at Walmart! Thanks to my Daugther who's 13 yrs old. It will be my first work out tonight with that DVD.. I have THE FIRMS(M,W,F) and Billy Blanks bootcamps dvds(T,TH,Sat). I do those 6 times a week. For The biggestloser work out.. I am doing to do that every evening with my Daugther who's now 161lbs. I think it would be good for her to do work out with me and encourge her and workout together mother and daugther. It would be fun for us.

It's really good that you're engaging your daughter in exercise, it will be much easier for her if you introduce her to a healthy lifestyle now. It's hard for me because my parents have always eaten very unhealthy and do not exercise at all, but they don't have to necessarily, because they have always been at healthy weights. However, my mother has high blood pressure now and needs to be dieting and exercising, but she says "I'm not fat, so I shouldn't have to do all that...." anyway, it's good that you're getting your daughter to live healthily! ;)

Is the DVD good for someone like me who needs to get into shape(I have been pretty sedentary). I am very overweight and have no energy. Would you recommend this DVD to someone like myself or should I start with something else first?

Also how much room(floor space) do you need to follow along with the DVD? And do you need to buy any other items such as free weights and such?

Hi Jen!

I'm sure you will be able to do it. Bob instructs during the DVD that if the moves are too difficult, you can modify them, and he has one of the others demonstrate it.

It helps to have free weights when you do the strength and sculpt part. Start with 2# weights and work up from there. I need to get the next weight up soon--2# are getting too easy!

Best of luck!

The UPS man should be brining mine today! I cant wait!

Is there any jumping around involved? My ankles and knees are so weak that I dont think I could do it.

HI anita....there is jumping, but Bob helps you modify the moves if you have bad knees (I modify them mostly).

Thanks Jen! I will look for the DVD today at Walmart.

Great, I was just popping in here to see about the whole joint issues too. My knees don't work for jumping and running yet either. I think I'll go ahead and order it right now.

I bought it at Walmart. I cant wait to get started on it.

Great! Let us know what you think of it! Believe me, you will see a change in only a week!
