5.0 out of 5 stars Fitness Made REALLY simple
Fitness Made Simple (FMS) highlights the personal training and nutrition program of John Basedow who has burst onto the fitness scene appearing in many national and regional exercise and bodybuilding-related publications. His video preaches basic result-producing, muscle-building, and fat-burning program which he discusses in detail on this tape.

1.0 out of 5 stars What A Waste Of Energy At A High Price Too!
I EXCERCISED MY ARM
I purchased this video and used it three (3) times. First was to review it. Second was to use it. The Third Time - I got my excercise in the arms by throwing it out in the garbage. This video was produced poorly and the sound quality reverberates and it is irritating to where you cannot take this serious. It sounds like porno music. If you...

I EXCERCISED MY ARM
I purchased this video and used it three (3) times. First was to review it. Second was to use it. The Third Time - I got my excercise in the arms by throwing it out in the garbage. This video was produced poorly and the sound quality reverberates and it is irritating to where you cannot take this serious. It sounds like porno music. If you have seen the commercials you can hear the music in the background although it is faint. Borrow one from a friend first and you can judge for yourself. Working out with that music and the speech echos is just too much for me to bear. Sorry John Basedow but your performance was good but the video is just terrible. Try again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the real deal for upper body workouts, December 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Awesome Hour: Upper Body Home Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I am not used to writing reviews, but I must say that John Basedow's "Upper Body Workout" is tremendous. I've seen some real improvement in my upper body since I ordered this tape, and John really means what he says when he calls it "Fitness Made Simple." It's really a no-brainer kind of way to build your body and realize your maximum potential. I also find John to be a very inspiring "personal trainer" (by way of video!). I highly recommend this workout to anyone who is serious about looking great -- and not just bodybuilders, but everyday people like myself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tape, great results!, March 25, 2006
This review is from: Awesome Hour: Upper Body Home Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Basedow's Basics provides the tools to better fitness and health through innovative exercises that strenghten and tone from head-to-toe. John's simple, motivational approach has taught me that I too can achieve my fitness goals through persistance and dedication. I've been using this tape for nearly three months now, and not only do I look better but I feel better, too. The results are amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A WORKOUT VIDEO WORK THE TIME, November 11, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Awesome Hour: Upper Body Home Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Fitness made simple with John Basedow is an excellent tool for me. I have 2 children and it has helped me to properly exercise my body to get back into shape. I have also found it most helpful with the Nutrition segment. I'm sure that if you purchase this video for yourself or for a family member I can tell you that they will be very appreciative of it...I know I am!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best, March 13, 2005
This review is from: Awesome Hour: Upper Body Home Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
John's Fitness made simple program is "Simply the Best". This video AWESOME HOUR UPPER BODY HOME WORKOUT (his dogs are evidence to the fact that he is at home not at the gym too) has an incredible workout that will leave you feeling pumped and ready to take on the world. John speaks to you in a very personal way and explains the proper technique as you go along set by set and rep by rep. I have lost 30 pounds and 5 inches off my waist. I am now at an amazing 11% body fat and I owe it all to Fitness Made Simple and John Basedow......!!! You cannot go wrong buying AWESOME HOUR UPPER BODY HOME WORKOUT or any video by John Basedow, I know first hand they work....!!

I have just purchased this video about 1 month ago. This video is a great workout! In this video John talks you right through everything and you know exactly what to do. The best thing about this is you can do the exercises right from HOME! This video IS easy to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Hour, February 9, 2005

Jordan (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Awesome Hour: Upper Body Home Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the first and the only tape that shows you how to get definition and strength working out at home. All fitness regimines that teach you how to define your chest, arms, triceps, etc.... always show tons of gym equipment, or they have routines done at home that just do not produce results. The Fitness Made Simple Upper Body Workout is the only one that can be done at home and produce better results than most gym equipment can. John lays it all out for you and I loved that I understood what to do, how to do it, why I was doing it, and bottom line loved the results it gave me in just a few weeks! This is the best upper body workout I have ever done, and even though I go to a gym now just to get out of the house, I still utilize all the concepts and the same exercises because they simply are the best ones I can do to get the results that I want to achieve. I highly recommend this video!

As a Certified Fitness Trainer, I only trust my clients with one other trainer...John Basedow. He is truly an asset to the fitness industry. This video is a MUST for anyone wishing to improve their fitness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why people should invite John Basedow into their living room, January 6, 2003
By 
This review is from: Awesome Hour: Upper Body Home Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
People should invite John Basedow tapes into their homes and into their lives because he's all about results.
As a young woman who's training to be a fitness model, I can singlehandedly thank John Basedow for his encouragement to pursue my dreams. You can see me on some of his ads because I genuinely believe in his programs.

FMS: A practical approach for achieving results, routines/nutrition

Sixpack Abs: 3 different routines for the upper, obliques, and
hard to build lower abs. This tape rocks

Awesome Hour: Men aren't the only ones trying to look cut!
This tape is jam packed with routines for the
delts, pecs, lats, triceps (french press!) and
biceps. Plus you get to watch JB's dogs take a nap.
You won't find that kind of at-home feel on any
other tape. And, there's an Ab routine as well..

John always includes nutrition tips--and that's also a rarity
in the fitness video industry..normally it's only about exercise.

Buy these videos, you won't be disappointed but you have to work hard!
