Time graph for The Biggest Loser: Power Sculpt

The “Biggest Loser” instructors lead a no-nonsense series of varied muscle toning moves. The cleverly designed DVD keeps you challenged as you get stronger with three progressively more intense premixes (e.g. a 30-minute Level 1 workout or a 50-minute Level 3 program). The exercises are proven classics, but they’ve been “tweaked” to maximize effectiveness (e.g. a small jump added to a squat, a lateral raise blended into a bicep curl). Jillian Michaels begins with a series of body-scupting basics. Then Kim Lyons boosts the intensity with faster-paced “power blasts.” Bob Harper completes the sequence with challenging isometric and plank exercises. The exercisers are contestants from seasons 3 and 4 of the TV show (“if they can do it, so can you”). Requires 3 to 10 lb. dumbbells. ©2007. DVD has: 3 premixes (30-50 min. alternate workouts), Programmable chapters, Music only option, Region 1.

Yuck
There was nothing I liked about this workout (except, maybe, looking at Bob.) The workout was kind of a mess, and I'm not surprised to read the other reviews reporting injuries. BL: CardioMax is great, but 'PowerSculpt' feels kind of thrown together with no rhyme or reason. - posted by GR on 9/4/2008

Good workout
This is a good sculpting and toning workout, and will have you sweating, the first time I could only do the 20 minute section. I love Jillian on the show, but did not like her section that much-I know she is an excellent trainer but she needs a few classes on how to teach videos! She stopped way too much to explain things. Bob's section was killer-should have been 20 minutes, had a lot of isometric holds. I am an intermediate exerciser and couldn't make it through all of the holds. I will continue using this video in my rotation. - posted by Stephanie on 7/25/2008

Awesome!
I bought this back in May, I'm still on level 2, b/c I have 4 kiddos, but I've gone from a size 14 to a 12. I love the levels, I just wish they did them differently, like level 1 only Jillian, then level 2 just have it w/ the blonde, not both the blonde & Jillian. I did hurt my knee a bit, thats totally my fault, b/c I tensed up coming up from a lunge. If you do proper form & wear appropriate clothing, you wont really have a hard time doing it, its really just common sense. All in all, I love it. I cant wait til I get to level 3. - posted by Cathy on 7/6/2008

Outstanding
This dvd has incredible flexibilty in the workout choices and levels. Increase weights, mix the levels for endurance or simply do one level at a time. The stronger I've become, the more I can do without buying another video. There are a lot of lunges and squats on this video and if you're not doing them correctly, you will hurt yourself. Be sure that you start off focusing on form!! Then enjoy the ride! - posted by Kathryn on 6/8/2008

Sorta OK
I did not like the Jillian Michaels' segment (Level 1) at all. She seemed to be picking on Julie to the point of being annoying and rude. Her poodle and ghetto booty comments were way out of line. The other two segments (Levels 2 & 3) were good, with Bob's being the best. - posted by Joyce on 6/3/2008

Oh boy!
I hurt myself, doing this workout, i was doing this one and the cardio. And I just have to say..MY HATS OFF TO ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE BIGGEST LOSER! I did this workout 3 weeks ago and I'm still having pain in my ribs. I may even have to see my MD. due to still having swelling on one of my ribs. Make sure you get a sports Bra ladies..This is how I hurt myself, wearing an under wire bar.I've done it before with other workouts and this has never happen to me. So be very careful, when doing this and the Cardio workout, don't feel that you have to keep up or use the wgts. And careful with your knees also..I had alot of swelling in my knee. I've been working out from the age of 23yr, and I have none everything, even the gym 4 to 5x a week.This is the 1st time I've hurt like this. I will not be doing this work out again..But I still love the trainers at the biggest loser! - posted by Lily on 3/19/2008

Good overall workout
I've done the part 2 and part 3 workouts a few times, and they really get my heartrate up. I enjoy doing the lower body and upper body moves all at one time. I like the option to only play music during this workout, and wish more dvd's had this option. - posted by Barbara K on 3/4/2008

pretty good workout
This is a pretty decent workout... a common theme throught is that you do move the lower body while working out the upper body with weights... keeps the heart rate up and seems to be effective. Jillian leads level 1 which is 20 minutes long. I don't care for pendulum lunges so just do backward lunges during this section. Good upper body workout and a good sun salutation section. Kim does level 2 and it is 10 minutes long. She leads great pushup and abs workouts. Bob does level 3 and it is also 10 minutes. Very good moves. Will have you sweating throughout. I like to mix up the order and do level 3, then level 2 and level 1 last. Don't particularly care for the floor stretches as cooldown. Overall good - I use it a couple of times a week. - posted by Lois on 2/28/2008

Reading a Time Graph

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.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Programmable chapters

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

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).

This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
