 tough but works July 5, 2010

good tough exercise video. i have been doing the cardio max for about two months and added this one. i was surprised that i was able to start doing all three levels right away but level three will definetely make you sweat. jillians level 1 was maybe a little too easy though compared to all her other videos. i have lost about 40 lbs altogether though with biggest loser videos so they definetely work.
 If you have done the 30 Day Shred, this video is NOT for you. June 26, 2010

I'm only 10 days into the 30 day shred but doing this video felt more like a slow warm up if anything. I did all three levels and was confused at the end because I didn't get a work out at all. All of the exercises are short and extremely easy to do. If anyone can make some recommendations on a workout similar to the shred leave me a note here.
 Jillian talks too much. Stop and start workout June 22, 2010

I have never seen the "Biggest Loser" TV show, but I enjoyed the The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max DVD so I thought I would take a shot with this Power Sculpt DVD.
The Power Sculpt DVD is definitely not to the same level of quality as the Cardio Max. It follows the same method, with three levels of intensity and the ability to mix-or-match with the remote to get the workout you want. This is good.
Like Cardio Max, the Level 1 is 20 minutes and the Level 2 and 3 are 10 minutes each. On the Cardio Max, Jillian's Level 2 segment was my least favorite, and the one I am most likely to skip. Here, she takes over the longer 20 minute Level 1 workout. This is bad.
The real problem with Jillian is that she doesn't seem to know how to make a workout DVD. She spends too much time explaining and correcting form, teasing the cast, and just chatting in general. Now, if I was taking a class from her, that would be great. If it was just a TV show, things would be fine. But this is a workout DVD, meant to be watched/used over and over again, and when she stops the exercise in order to correct someone's form, or in order to explain a particular exercise, it brings the whole thing to a screeching halt.
I have owned other workout DVDs where semi-complicated forms were explained in a separate training segment so that the overall momentum of the workout wasn't affected. That doesn't happen here. Jillian stops the workout every single time in the same spot, and it is frustrating and annoying.
I can't say that this DVD is a total loss. I have learned to just carry on over top of her instructions, and you can set it to music only without the instructor's voice, but it just seems like this should be a better production, and that the director should have said something or done something to keep the flow going.
Great compliment to CardioMax June 9, 2010

Finished up to level 3 on Cardio Max, so now working on strength... bought this DVD from Walmart for $9.
On my first day, I tried the recommended workout Level 1 with warm up and cool down. It was a good start but it was below my capability. I skipped a day and then tried the recommended workout Level 2 with warm up and cool down. This time, I wore my EKG watch to measure calories burned to get some initial stats on calorie burn.
Warm up = 26 calories
Level 1 = 120 calories
Level 2 = 110 calories
Cool down = 20 calories
Will provide an update later when I feel able to complete all 3 levels. But, given that the workout is not as intense as CardioMax, I may try that next week.
 Fantastic work-out!!! June 7, 2010

I have both the BL Power Sculpt and Cardio Max on AppleTv, and love them!! I can mix and match any combo of cardio and weights, plus my choice of warm-up and cool down ( Not a big yoga fan, so I mostly go with Jillian. LOL). I enjoy seeing "real" people doing the work outs as opposed to those that are already fit. Sure they're not perfect and not always in sync, but it reminds me that these are people, just like me.
While I'm not super fit, I'm not totally out of shape either, and I get a good sweat worked up from this. The BL work outs are definately entertaining enough to keep me coming back every day.
