The Biggest Loser, NBC's "weight-loss reality drama," is coming to a pile of old gym equipment and yoga VHS tapes near you.
Lion's Gate Entertainment will release two workout videos based on the show, which pits two teams against each other in a heated fitness competition. With the help of celebrity fitness trainers and top health experts, overweight participants shape up through a strict regimen of diet and exercise. A typical reality-show atmosphere of temptation, alliances, and betrayal turns the contestants' individual struggles into Survivor-style entertainment, and jaws drop with pounds as teammates ruthlessly eliminate one another until one lucky winner is crowned The Biggest Loser.
The first of the two DVDs will be released this fall, immediately following the September 13 premiere of The Biggest Loser's second season. According to Lions Gate president Steve Beeks, the video "takes the issue of being overweight and gives real people real solutions to accomplish their weight-loss goals." Both videos will feature familiar faces from the series, including celebrity trainer Bob Harper.

I am so amazed by htis show it is something that I dream of being able to doone day is be on the show. I know my weight is a matter of me living and dieing and they have truely changed lives on this show for better. Keep this show on forever maybe Iwill get the chance one day to be helped>>>preacherfran
I would never buy the dvds. I think the show is sad that people need to get on television to find the motivation to worry about their health.

I have to say that I am happy about this release, I have never liked the work out videos with all the skinny men and woman, some of the people on these videos look like models and not real people that need to lose weight. Richard Simmons was/is the best he uses real people that are over weight and need to work out. I hope this video will show over weight and people that need to exercise (which is most if not all of us). Real looking people need to be on t.v.
I guess it'll be okay...I don't think I need it tho.
