Editorial Review

Couch potatoes, you've finally run out of excuses to avoid exercising. The Biggest Loser Power Walk is a low-impact workout for every fitness level and ability, and its approach is enjoyable and inclusive. The theory behind The Biggest Loser Power Walk is that walking itself is one of the best cardio workouts there is–and the routine is designed to be done indoors so that you can walk, no matter what the weather. Biggest Loser fitness guru Bob Harper and popular show contestants Tara Costa and Sione Fa join others in an approachable presentation guaranteed to get your heart pumping, and the calories burning.

The Biggest Loser Power Walk offers four indoor walking routines, from super-beginner to challenging. Each lasts 16 minutes, and can be combined with others for a longer workout. As the routines become more challenging, small weights and workout balls are added, as well as higher-impact moves like squats and jumping jacks. The set also includes a planner for anyone who would like to train to walk a full marathon, or 26.2 miles. One of the great bonuses of this workout is its ability to encourage the viewer/exerciser to take the moves outside, if desired. The routines are varied and never dull, but easy to follow and to build upon. And as with all of The Biggest Loser shows and workouts, bodies of all shapes and sizes are featured–and inspiring. The Biggest Loser Power Walk presents workout routines that are not fancy, but are inviting, inclusive, and effective–and fun to do again and again. —A.T. Hurley
