Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout Details



As promised here is the details on the Biggest Losers Last Chance workout dvd. I really think this is a great workout, it goes by so fast you zip in a 30 minute workout without even knowing it. LOVE THAT!

I posted the Amazon link with reviews at the bottom, just so you can see what others thought. I got mine at Best Buy for $10, and its worth it.
I have not done this with just the music, I will try that next time. I still need to write out the cool down and then I will put it all together for anyone that wants to just do the moves without getting the dvd. I know we are in a recession and want to help.

Questions on the moves just let me know, and you can do these with 5-20lb dumb bells. You can use a light 3-5lb too, since most of the moves are done in a fast pace you want to keep your form.

DONT FORGET A MIRROR. You can get a cheapo full length mirror at Walmart for $6.98 and it will help you get the moves just right. Form is EVERYTHING, not the quanity so always remember that.

The Spark!

Just wondering if anyone has the SPARK book and if you have read it yet?

www.sparkpeople.com

I just got mine last night and can't wait to get into it! I had an email sent to me to save 30% at Barnes and Noble and I went right over to get it....I was so excited. Even the cashier said, "Oh I have heard about this book, its supposed to be very good" WOW!

What I could see from breezing through it that there are some diet plans as well as the fitness pictures of Coach Nicole. I like that it seems to be divided into great categories that include keys to real change. Not just what to eat and do, but the emotional aspect that most of us suffer with. Our body image and all the other things that roll around in our heads to sabotage our efforts to a healthy lifestyle.

Many of us on Sparks have a story, most of you know mine is a skinny fat girl story. But with Sparks and thanks to Spark Guy and the staff at sparks we have the tools we need to succeed for LIFE. Did you read that? Tools to learn for success for LIFE and FREE, that's just incredible.

How could you not want to support a man that created a FREE site like this?

I have been on, and am on, many other fitness sites, Beach Body, Body Builders and Exercise TV but none of these are a full package. They come close but they don't offer the team spirit that Sparks does, or the knowledge and support tools like the food tracker and videos. I know there are other food trackers that some people use, but if you customize your food here on sparks and save it as your favorites it just doesn't get any easier REALLY!

So if you have the book, or have read the book, please let me know you thoughts about it. If you don't have the book I suggest getting it, if its half as terrific as this site is...... it will be money well spent!
