 A Test of Endurance August 27, 2010
Rebecca Johnson (Washington State)
"The Biggest Loser: Weight Loss Yoga" is perhaps the most strenuous yoga workout I've ever tried. Each position is held for enough time that you really feel your patience and your endurance being tested. You will recognize postures like warrior I and warrior II, plank, downward dog and others. They may look easy at first but your arms will start to tire and your legs will begin to shake. At least if you are at an intermediate level. Because of the time you hold the poses I think this workout is more advanced. If you do the entire workout you will warmup then do 45 minutes of yoga (three sections) and then cool down with some relaxing stretches that are easy to do. The only things you need for this workout are a yoga mat, 3-5 pound weights and a six-pound medicine ball. If you are a beginner you could skip using the ball and weights. Modifications are given for most of the difficult exercises and some of the exercisers demonstrate the easier versions for the entire time. Bob Harper is an excellent trainer and I felt like I was getting individual attention. His cuing is so precise it is a pleasure to exercise with confidence. I'd recommend this workout to you if you are intermediate to advanced, have been doing yoga for a few years and want to take things up a notch. Expect to take a nice warm shower after this workout, you are going to sweat!

Solid workout for beginners August 2, 2010
Vicki Scott (Centennial, CO)
I am new to the yoga scene...knew a few poses previously. I am in my 7th week of using this dvd and LOVE IT! I have toned up and am much stronger. Bob offers clear instruction. I appreciated the various options for beginner and advanced poses. I really appreciate seeing "real" people in the dvd...not workout models. A definite great buy for anyone beginning the journey back to health!
 Not yoga July 26, 2010

This video is not yoga. There is no focus on breath, a yoga video should explain when to inhale and exhale in sync with the poses. He does not use the yoga terms associated with a lot of the poses, which will not help you when you go to a yoga class. There is no focus on spirituality and relaxation. I only did the first workout, so I can't comment whether they get any better.
Bob is obnoxious as a yoga instructor. This isn't an aerobic workout, I could do without all the pumping up..."Your arms will look just like this!","You are going to be burning fat!" He talks too much and doesn't help you understand how to do the poses well...or how to modify the poses based on your skill level. He doesn't mention using blocks for beginners. For example, he brings you into extended side angle (without telling you the name) and then tells you to put your hand flat on the floor, which is a more advanced version of the pose. He does the same with side plank...tells you to stack your heels, which is pretty hard for a beginner. It's easy to hurt yourself without good instruction.
It's also not helpful to be watching people who don't know how to do the poses correctly. If you copy the people in the video, you will be doing the poses wrong.
Pass on this one.
LOVE this yoga workout! July 22, 2010

Bob Harper has done it again with this yoga workout!
I am an avid yoga fan and have practiced yoga for a few years. I'm always looking for a yoga workout I can grow with as well as a yoga workout that makes me feel great. This is it.
I really like that you can customize this workout by adding a warm up, levels 1-3 and a cool down to make it your own workout. My recommendation is to start with the level 1 yoga practice, as it definitely offers a challenge, unless you are already a yogi. But for everyone else, start with level 1 and grow with the yoga practice from there.
I also like that Bob has some of the "students" show modifications as well. There are 3 who do the modified versions of the poses, which is great. Or, if you're up for a challenge, follow Ali an Bill all the way through.
I have found that, after working with this yoga workout, I am much more flexible, able to go deeper in to the poses and find a great deal of satisfaction with this workout and yoga practice.
Also, I am a type II diabetic and anything that keeps me moving, motivated, and managing my diabetes, without medication, is a hit for me!
Thank you Bob and BL cast for this awesome yoga DVD!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!

I wanted a yoga workout to change up my exercise routine a bit. And I specifically wanted a DVD with good instruction for a beginners a long with a trust worthy trainer. This fits the bill!
I love that you can select and mix which work outs you do, with the time each takes indicated. It makes exercise easier to do on a busy schedule.
