The Biggest Loser: Weight Loss Yoga |
 Hardest Yoga I've done in a long time |
| I was surprised because half the yoga workouts have moments where they are really testing you but not the whole way through and this really works the heck out of you - as Bob says - it's Power Yoga. - posted by Ashley on 10/27/2009 |

| Pleasantly Surprised! |
| I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser. I do mostly cardio and strength training workouts every day, but once a week I switch to yoga/pilates type workouts. This is much tougher than I expected, but in a good way. I really like the use of the water ball (I used a medicine ball) and light dumbbells to the workout; it made it that much more interesting. I almost didn't buy this video because I cannot stand Heba and Vicki, but I decided to give it a try because of all of the positive reviews. I'm so glad I did! This is definitely a keeper for my video rotation. - posted by Suzanne on 10/11/2009 |

 Just OK |
| I prefer a more tranquil looking set and music while practicing yoga. Also the inclusion of Heba in the video is a turnoff - she really bugs me. Other than that, the workout was pretty good. It is nothing new, but it definitely isn't the easiest yoga workout I've ever done (which is good). I did feel the burn while holding some poses. Bob is very easy to follow, and it moves along nicely. - posted by Melissa on 9/24/2009 |

| Prepare to sweat and work hard |
| Pro: Tough and effective work out. You will sweat a lot and lose weight for sure. A great low impact exercise that delivers results.
Con: Bob constant bantering gets very tiresome and annoying. At first it was funny and silly. After a few times doing the video, his yakking and teasing becomes very annoying and distracting as you're trying to concentrate and stay in correct form. I actually avoiding this video because of Bob. Because of this, I am giving the video 4 starts instead of 5. - posted by TT on 9/23/2009 |

| good challenge |
| I just did this DVD for the first time today because I read the reviews and wanted to change up my routine. It worked me out more than I thought and it definitely gets your abs in the 2nd section. I was shaking with some of the moves and my wrists hurt a little but overall I really liked it. This is my 1st attempt at yoga...I usually do the Jillian workouts - posted by Andrea on 9/9/2009 |

| Surprised! |
| I am an avid exerciser. At first I thought this may be a beginner-type video. This video surprised me! It is a great workout! All sections are equally challenging and when put together into one big workout- you cannot go wrong. It is definitely not for sissies. The other part about the video I enjoy is that the members of Biggest Loser are in the video. You can see all different exercise levels and different body shapes. When I am moaning about not being able to hold a pose any longer...I look up and there is Heba or Michele hanging in there so I know I can do it too and not give up. They are very motivating!! - posted by Amy on 8/6/2009 |

| WOW! |
| This yoga workout was really amazing. I usually use Cathe and was hesitant to add Yoga into my regimen, but I'm so glad I did. This workout is challenging. Bob pushes you to a point where you know you are burning fat. This workout also incorporates using strength moves for your upper and lower body and your core. He also uses weights in some moves. It really is a great workout! - posted by Liz on 7/25/2009 |

| WOW! |
| This dvd is definitely a workout! The best thing I like is that you can customize your workout. It's not just yoga. It's pilates and using weights in the yoga poses, which is really a workout. One day I do Level 1 and 2, the next day I do Level 1 and 3, with the warmup and the cool down included. Bob doesn't have the "yoga soft spoken voice". He tells you what to do with encouragement that keeps you going. He has you stay in different positions for a while and you can tell it's working when your arms and legs begin to shake. I like that. I know I am getting a good workout without spending alot of time doing it. You want to stay in those poses, even though it's tough, you know you are getting a good workout. I like Bob. He's got a way about him that just makes me want to stay in those poses. I would reccommend this workout for anyone who is a beginner/intermediate. - posted by mary on 6/15/2009 |

| GREAT DVD |
| Loved it, loved it--have done yoga in the past, but never had the instruction from the trainers at the gym that you can get from Bob on the video. I exercise 5-6 times a week and still can manage a sweat doing this DVD. I very nicely stretched out, and it's great for my back, which was injured in a horseback rising accident. - posted by MELODYE on 5/19/2009 |

| Tough but effective workout |
| I'm new to yoga, and this workout was tough but doable. But like most workouts, you will get better and stronger if you keep at it. I sweat more during this workout than I do running! My wrists hurt initially and I couldn't perform all the moves, but it's getting stronger and hurting less after my third attempt on DVD. Ben Harper is very likeable and it's hard to get upset with him, especially when you just want to rest but he keeps you longer in a certain position. My only beef with Ben is that when your legs are shaking uncontrollably, it means that your muscles aren't strong enough just yet. I think he should tell the viewers that it's okay to stop and rest, but instead, he insist that we continue to stay in that position with the legs shaking. I'm no fitness expert, but I don't think that's good for the body. - posted by Tara on 5/18/2009 |
