Boot Camp

The Biggest Loser: The Workout - Boot Camp
$14.98
I watch the Biggest Loser and have always loved Jillian and wanted to work out with her, when I looked for videos to complete my fitness makeover, Bob never crossed my mind. Boy was I wrong!!!! I love this workout and he is so encouraging even when my arms are shaking and I'm sweating like you wouldn't believe. This workout would be perfect for anyone that believes they would be able to lose weight if they had a workout like on the show. My only issue with it was the modifications and the cueing. Often you'll see the camera on Bob and then someone off to the side having to adjust and change up to get on the right count. Also with the modifications, I hate watching Heba and Vicky, Heba especially she really looks likes she's not trying hard and that's very unmotivating. Overall though love the video and will report back at the end of Week 6, with an update on how I did.

Boot Camp

This little gem took me by surprise! Initially, I just wanted to watch a movie with Mila Kunis in it to see why she was basically the only one (except for Ashton Kutcher on a smaller scale) who has made the successful transition from That 70's Show to the movies...my guess is that TV to the big scrren a very hard thing to do...considering notable past attempts and failures. Anyway, the first thing I was greeted with in Boot Camp was not only one transitional actress, but a transitional actor as well...Gregory Smith of Everwood (an exceptional and believable actor in his own right)...and a well put together movie as well. I have been aware of these "Tough Love" boot camps for many years now, and I am certain that what goes on in Boot Camp is what goes on in some of them to a degree but not ALL of them. I'm sure that many of these camps, although rigid in their ways, are also successful in what they are trying to get across to troubled teens.

Anyway, back to the movie itself. This is a chilling, edge-of-your seat tale that just never lets up, and it was well-acted on ALL accounts. I had the thought on two separate occasions during the movie that I didn't want it to end. I loved some of the characters, and I hated others. The movies sucks you in and doesn't let up. Well-written, well-directed, well-produced, and filmed with a gorgeous backdrop...Boot Camp delivers from start to finish. KUDOS to all involved!

This seemed to be a pretty fast paced workout to me. It gets your heart rate up and helps tone those muscles.

The book is self-explanatory and depicts step-by-step the progress of the training. Nevertheless, it does also throw in some more variations of workouts so that the reader never gets bored with the same workout.
