Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition: Bootcamp [DVD]

This is a good DVD for beginners--and I say that with a few caveats. I am very fond of the level two, three and four work outs--especially the fourth one. I am absolutely in love with that level four work out--it's just absolutely ferocious! You can push yourself as hard as you want to or take it easy--and I tell you what, it's pretty exciting to stay on level with Heidi Powell! I am not a fan of the level one work out. I do not think it's a level one work out in the slightest! In my opinion, a minute and a half of plank, seventy-three squats and forty back lunges is NOT beginner! The seventy-three squats especially are difficult and would be very difficult for a beginner. This DVD is also pretty dry. I do all four work outs in a row and there's a lot of the same thing--that can get pretty boring after awhile. I would say that this is a good DVD for someone who is intermediate. It is very motivating to watch those who've lost weight complete this work out. Their form is not always great though--keep in mind! I'm also not a fan of how many cuts there are in this DVD--often I was trying to match Heidi and it's not helpful when I'm watching a super close close-up on Alex. Also the room they are working out in seems bizarrely small? They are all cramped in there.This is a great weight-free work out. I definitely have seen results, I just got a bit bored after awhile!

I love my new Boot Camp DVD with Chris Powell! I like the many options available for working out with this DVD. I enjoy working out with the instructor, since Chris is very encouraging and motivating. He does a great job explaining the proper technique for the exercises and you have the option of using the beginner technique or the more advanced technique with Heidi. The warm-up is great for preparing your body to work out and the cool-down helps relax all those tired muscles. I really like the quick repetitions and the fact that we move from one exercise right into another, it keeps me from getting burned out and bored with my exercise routine. The best part is there are four levels of workouts, so as you progress, you can just move on to the more difficult level without purchasing a new DVD. You can also combine workouts to mix up your routine. I will definitely purchase more workout DVDs with Chris Powell.

I have currently lost 80 pounds with a goal loss of 120 pounds. Chris Powell's first DVD was one of the first in my library. I always wished for additional ones because I enjoy his training style in encouraging attitude. The first DVD was great when I was a beginner and it helped get me off the couch and start moving. I was really hoping this one would be a step up and nice add on to this first DVD. I found this one to be as changeling as the first which now after a year of workout 5 times a week is not changeling enough. If you are looking for a good starter disc you can't go wrong with this or the first Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edidtion DVD

I am a big fan of the show, and this dvd is okay, encouraging, but a little dry.

The thing that attracted me to this video is that it contains people of different body types. Rather than watch several in-shape people show me how to exercise, I much prefer seeing people like me that are still in the process of reaching their goals. Each person in the video does slightly modified versions of the exercises, reflecting their individual level of fitness. This is a big advantage the video has over the others ones I have tried. I believe it encourages people of all fitness levels to complete the exercises as best as they can.If you are really out of shape, I don't think you will find these exercises to be easy. You will probably need a couple of weeks before you can comfortably complete the warm up, level one program, and cool down.I really like Chris Powell's personality and his presentation. I plan to purchase more of his videos and books.

I love Extreme Makeover & Chris Powell's positivity. I was not disappointed with this DVD. I have tried / bought tons of work out DVD's, and either end up uninterested, lost at the pace, or bored. I completely engaged with the workouts offered & moderation levels, I can feel every part of my body being engaged. Chris is very motivating, and it's nice to have average people (from the show too!) doing the same workouts I am, taking breaks, not feeling worse about myself looking at some skinny little thing in a skimpy workout outfit that I can't keep up with. Highly recommended for those just starting your journey, for days you can't get to the gym, or just to get your body moving for 15 mins a day. Well worth it.

great CD it really helps overweight people get started and keep going. Its very motivational. I love his tv show too. he also has more fit people on the video showing more challenging moves at the same time. he also has really heavy people going slow and easy and everything in between. he is so helpful, knowledgeable and motivational. its got something for everyone and the layout is great and music is great. my kids and I love and use it all the time.

Love the Powells...love their workouts. This is a good one. The first time I did it I couldn't move for 2 days haha but now I am starting to see results and that's worth it to me. I've lost 22 lbs

Love Chris Powell!!

A bit too easy for me, if you're very unfit and or overweight it would be a good starting point
