There are no guarantees, but for those who work the program with consistency and dedication, The Biggest Loser: The Workout--Weight Loss Yoga's promise that "pound-shedding results" can be achieved in six to eight weeks is no idle claim. Led by instructor Bob Harper, this 55-minute regimen offers three separate yoga workouts, sandwiched between 5-minute warm-up and cool-down sections; a menu option gives users the opportunity to practice the workouts in any order or quantity. The first and longest of the trio is a vinyasa series (a vinyasa is a connected sequence of yoga asanas) focusing on core strength via a variety of lunges, stretches, downward- and upward-facing dog, standing poses (triangle, warrior one and two, extended right angle), plank, and more; the second focuses on abs work and backbends; and the third is a more standard gym-type workout that can be done with or without hand weights. Make no mistake about it: much of this work is quite rigorous, and even experienced yogis and yoginis can expect to be challenged. But Harper's instruction is friendly and encouraging, with frequent reminders about the importance of the breath ("as long as you're breathing, you're perfect"), variations provided for those not yet up to speed, and opportunities to rest. Perhaps best of all, instead of gorgeous bodies in designer outfits doing perfect poses, we're watching mortals who are not all buff, flexible, and strong (some can't even touch their toes) and whose form is at times less than perfect. These folks don't make yoga look easy, because it's not. But anyone with a serious yoga practice--and this is a good place to start--knows that its benefits are both profound and, if you stick with it, permanent. --Sam Graham

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great interactivity and instruction on poses--plus it's fun!, January 5, 2009

    This review is from: The Biggest Loser: The Workout - Weight Loss Yoga (DVD)
    Great Yoga DVD, especially for those new to yoga. I've had a good handful of yoga classes and my husband's had a few. We both really benefit from Bob's instruction, particularly on form. It's one thing to say, "keep your back straight," or "make sure you watch your form," but Bob instructs as if you've never had a yoga class in your life, which is good--both for newbies and those of us who aren't experts yet. He actually shows you what good knee alignment looks like. Or tells you how it should feel. I agree with one of the reviewers that it's a little awkward (okay, a lot awkward) to be in a yoga pose and have to look up at the TV, but that's really the same as being in class--I would have to look at an instructor to see what's going on sometimes--but after a week or two of doing this, you get the hang of it and know what to do.

    The BEST part of the Biggest Loser videos are the interactive menus so you can select what kind of workout you want to do. What an AWESOME... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!, December 18, 2008

    This review is from: The Biggest Loser: The Workout - Weight Loss Yoga (DVD)
    I ordered this product during the pre-sale so I got it the tuesday that it was released. I'm new to yoga but I must say that this was one of the best workouts I've ever done. I read about how yoga has changed so many peoples lives and to be honest, I wasn't buying it. But, now, I'm starting to believe that maybe there is something to it. Bob is so motivating (not to mention easy on the eyes)! The moves are simple and easy to follow, but you can feel your heart racing and your muscles working with every move and stretch. Of course, I'm presently on Level I, but I'm looking forward to moving up in the next few weeks. Buy it! Now! :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another awesome Biggest Loser workout video!, December 26, 2008
    By 
    This review is from: The Biggest Loser: The Workout - Weight Loss Yoga (DVD)
    I was excited to hear that The Biggest Loser folks had created a yoga video. It doesn't disappoint either. Just like the previous Biggest Loser DVDs, this is awesome. I have been wanting to get into yoga and this is a great way to start, with one of the trainers we are used to watching each week and with some of the contestants we grow to love on the show (Ali, Bernie, Bill, Michelle, Heba and Vicky).
    I definitely recommend this not only for fans of The Biggest Loser, but for anyone who wants a yoga workout that isn't intimidating and is easy to follow.
