Bob Harper Movies
Fitness guru and personal trainer Bob Harper is best known to American audiences as one of the main fitness trainers on the competitive reality series The Biggest Loser (2004), a contest between numerous participants to determine who can lose the most weight within a set period of time. Off-camera, the Nashville-born Harper maintains a broad client base as an "inside" trainer of celebrities; he has worked with Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Selma Blair, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Laura Dern, and many others. Harper is the chief architect and an outspoken proponent of a fitness regimen called "The Function Training Method," which involves giving participants the educational tools to facilitate weight loss, muscle toning, and increased strength via their own efforts. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

As created by J.D. Roth, the popular NBC reality series The Biggest Loser pits severely overweight contestants against one another to determine who can lose the most weight in a set period of time - with the inherent reward of a $250,000 prize. The Biggest Loser workout videos feature exercise routines employed on the series, and devoted to the same fitness goals of fat burning and weight loss via increased strength and endurance. The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt incorporates three strength-training regimens with progressive levels of difficulty, respectively hosted by series regulars Jillian Michaels, Kim Lyons and Bob Harper. Following a basic warm-up, Level One finds Michaels leading at-home participants through a basic 20-minute strength training workout which targets every major area of the body; Level Two finds Lyons leading participants through a 10 minute workout that elevates upper and lower-body strength while vigorously working on one's core muscles; and Level Three features Harper leading participants in a weight-training routine with the added bonus of 'bootcamp' movements uniquely designed by the trainer. The program wraps with a cool-down. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
