Biggest Loser Work Out: Bootcamp DVD

I bought this DVD at the end of last week.  I tried it Friday and did it today again.  I would say that it is a good work out if you use heavy enough weights.  I used 10 lbs. dumbbells.
There is 3 levels to this work out.  You would do 5 minute warmup at the beginning and 5 minute stretch at the end.  For the first 2 weeks you just do level 1.  The next 2 weeks you would do level 1 & 2.  The last 2 weeks you do all 3 levels.

Level 1: 20 minutes

• 1 arm row
• Alternating rear lunges
• Wide row
• Rear lunge with wide row

• Cardio burst: 4 step touches forward and walk back for 8.  You can make this harder by doing 4 skate jumps forward and run back for 8.  If you want to make it a little bit hard the run backs change to 4 jacks back;  This burst finishes with jumping jacks.

• Pushups
• Walking side to side pushups

• Squats
• Shift to one leg squats
• Front scoops with your arms...hard to explain what this is.
• Combine the squat and front scoops
• Alternating front scoops

• Cardio burst: hook upper cuts & quick football feet with 180 degree jumps

• Biceps curls to overhead press and change to alternating.
• Side lunge
• Side lunge with bentover triceps extensions
• alternating triceps extensions

• Cardio bursts: Lateral hop squats and then hold isometric squat

• Standing opposite knee to elbow obliques
• Standing side flexion

Level 2: 15 minutes

• Step Back Lunge; then add the knee lift; then change the knee to kick; and finally add overhead press.

• Cardio: holding weights jumping jack legs (I found this really got my heartrate up!!)

• Wide Squat; add squat thrust (either step back or jump legs back)
• Hold plank position: tap alternating legs out to the side or jumping jack legs
• Wide Squat: arms down low and up to Y position
• Y Overhead Press with a isometric plie squat

• Medicine Ball Pushups (1 hand on ball, roll to other side)
• V-Sit Russian Twist; Knee tuck ins; Hold

• Dips with 1 leg extended
• Hold table position with leg extended

• Alternating Curtsey Lunges
• Isometric  Curtsey with OverHead Triceps Extensions
• Triceps Overhead Extensions

Level 3: 10 minutes

I was hoping this last level would be kick butt, but it was far from that!

Using a STRETCH BAND:

• 2 Arm Row
• Balance Leg Extension (band under foot)
• Biceps Curl

• Chest Press
• Chest Press Across to one side and then other
• Alternating Punches

• 1 Arm Lateral Raise
• 1 Arm Front Raise
• 1 Arm Triceps Extension

• Alternating Punches with isometric squat...speed up the punches

I think that this work out should have more cardio intervals, because of the Bootcamp title.  I do enjoy it for some muscle conditioning, a nice workout to do at home.
