Summary: A Good Workout
Comment: Have been doing this workout since it came out years ago. It's like dancing and it's fun. Just wish it was on DVD.

Summary: Best workout ever
Comment: I have bought this video several times over the past 20 years (for myself and others) and was looking to see if it was in DVD format yet. Yes, it's a little 80's and quite corny, but even my husband admits, he never gets a more well-rounded workout. If you can get past the atmosphere and just do the workout, you may feel better than you've ever felt in your life. Jane even looks healthier and more vibrant in this video than any of her others. Even the reviews that give it few stars liked the workout.

Summary: We need this one on DVD!
Comment: This is one of my favorite Jane Fonda workouts. It's fun, it's effective, and if you have old injuries as I do, it probably won't aggravate them in the same way a high impact class would.
First--this tape was released in 1986. That means there is 1980s fashion, 1980s hair and 1980s music. If that's enough to turn you off, move along...but know that you'll be missing a tremendously good workout.
Don't confuse low impact with low intensity. Even though there's no jumping around, you still have to work to get through this program. The choreography is complex enough to keep your attention, but easy enough to learn quickly. The class moves along at a good pace, and attention is paid to proper warmup and stretching. I also like the fact that the class includes participants of various ages and sizes--the "new guy" is comic relief, but he's also a little bit of encouragement. Jane, as always, is a wonderful instructor and motivator, infusing her comments with wry humor.
I'm glad to have found a new copy of this on VHS recently. Why isn't this out on DVD? It's too good to miss!

Summary: low impact workout for those who need light workout
Comment: This workout begins with a eight minute warmup leads into a 35 minute low impact aerobic workout ends with an additional ten minute cool down. I read all the reviews of this workout before I bought a copy and most of the reviews were favorable. This is a steady low impact workout with very little stress to the joints. The video requires optional equipment of wrist weights. I have to say this video had some corny aspects to it, in particular the "new guy". The video could have done without that it was kind of silly. Other than that the guy did not bother me to much. This not one of my favorite workouts it is an okay workout. I like to use it as a warmup to one of my other Jane Fonda Workout tapes like workout with weights, complete workout, new workout or easy going workout. I have to say if I were going to truly reccomend a low impact video that is still a challenge I would recommend the complete workout. The music and chreography is better plus you have the option of really pushing yourself.

Summary: Can't be exercise, it's fun!
Comment: Exercise has always been a dreaded word around me; until recently when I failed a stress test at 45 years old. I knew I had to do something. High impact aerobics always results in shin splints on me, so I was looking for something that would give me a good cardiovascular work-out, hold my interest, and not cause stress injuries. This tape was heaven sent! I didn't think I'd be able to keep up with a 50 minute tape, but within a couple days I was keeping pace. I do it 5 days a week and have noticed a tremendous improvment in my pulse rate. It's a lot of fun. If you can get beyond the class clown, (which is pretty easy to do) you can find yourself dancing your way to a fit condition with a smile on your face. I recommend this tape to anyone who, like me, never thought they could actually look forward to exercise.
