I love reality tv. I have quite a few shows that I record on my dvr and watch faithfully. The Biggest Loser is one of them. I often joke with hubby that it’s a great show to watch while eating a pint of ice cream. Ok, so not really, but I love the show just the same and have followed almost every season. I tend to get teary eyed when a contestant gets voted off and cry almost every week. Yes, I’m a sap.  I also find so many of the stories inspiring and love to watch the contestants transform. I already had a biggest loser dvd workout in my collection, Cardio Max, but now I have two more that are just as good. These two dvds are going to help me with New Year’s Resolution #1 – Get Back Into Shape!

Pros: The two new workouts just released are:

I started out with the 30 Day Jumpstart. It has 5 different workouts including 10 minute cardio level 1, 10 minute cardio level 2, 10 minute upper body, 10 minute lower body, and 10 minute abs.
I really love to do cardio, so those segments were my favorite. In level 1, Tara does some great exercises that get your heart pumping. I didn’t think I was too out of shape, but I was breathing hard just 3 minutes into the workout. Tara was a machine in her season and it showed by all of the challenges she won and her perserverence. It’s no difference in this cardio workout.
Level 2 is with Ali, and she ups the intensity even more. After completing both cardio workouts, I feel like I’ve gotten in a good workout.

Last Chance Workout is with Jillian Michaels. If you know Biggest Loser, you know that Jillian is ruthless. She pushes contestants to their limits and beyond. This dvd includes a warm up, a 25 minute last chance workout, upper body sculpt, lower body tone, and a cool down. If you do everything from start to finish, it is a 55 minute workout. It definitely pushes you and you will feel and see results.

Cons: If you don’t have hand weights, the workout dvd’s aren’t as effective. They are recommended, and I definitely feel like you need them. I have 5 lb hand weights and feel like it was a good challenge, but I would like to invest in 7 lb weights in the future to push myself a bit more.
Both dvds also require a bit of navigating if you don’t want to do the entire workout. We lost our dvd remote a while back so I wasn’t able to navigate around at first. After swapping with the boy’s dvd player though it was fine. Definitely a workout series you need your remote for.

All in all, I feel like both workouts are a great new addition to the Biggest Loser dvd collection.
