Motivating...Effective...and... Enjoyable ...For All Levels, April 18, 2003
This review is from: Jane Fonda's Complete Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This review refers to the "Jane Fonda Complete Workout" VHS...
No matter what your age or fitness level, this is an excercise tape that can be beneficial to everyone. It is called the "Complete Workout"..and it is!
Jane takes you from a great warm up and upper body workout, through a fat burning aerobic session to a lower body strengthening and toning segment and finally a wonderful cooldown and stretch that will not only make you feel good about yourself, but just plain good!
The class is divided into three seperate segments. You can take your time and build up to doing all three or choose the ones that fit your needs the most. The first session is about 15 minutes of toning and sculpting the arms and also includes a little chest work as well(some push ups). You can start off with light weights and work your way up as you get stronger. Right afterwards there is a 35 minute aerobic class, which you can also adapt to your fitness level. She starts with a good warm up(the first time I did it, I thought the warm up WAS the aerobics session...was I in for a surprise!) and the class is generally divided into two groups you can follow. One is low impact and the other a combination of high and low impact).The music is fun and Jane, as in all the segments, talks you through and motivates you every step of the way. If your still standing, after this one you can move on to the lower body class. A very intense 20 minutes of lunges(done with or without weights), floor exercise and a little ab work(not alot, but like I said intense enough to feel it).Intermediate and advanced may add ankle weights to make the work out even harder.
You can adapt these sessions in any way you like. One day the upper body and aerobics, the next time, the aerobics and lower body. I like to use this tape about three times a week, and in combination with Jane's "Yoga Exercise Workout" once a week, I am seeing results, and seem to have alot more energy than before.
Although this tape was made more than a dozen years ago, it is still a good and effective workout. It is an excellent value for the price.

Jane Fonda's Complete Workout, January 7, 2000
This review is from: Jane Fonda's Complete Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have done aerobics with Jane Fonda for over 10 years, and this is her best EVERYDAY tape! There are three ways of doing it, so it's difficult to get bored. Jane Fonda is unsurpassed when it comes to interesting, safe, fat-burning workouts. The weight routine is effective because you can use several different weight dumbbells. You also have 30 minutes of aerobics that alternates between low and high impact. This is a great fat burning, muscle building video workout. Beginners and advanced can give it a try. Either way, if you work out at home, this is one that belongs in your video library!

Corny 80's video, but it's a good workout !, March 29, 2002
This review is from: Jane Fonda's Complete Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you can get beyond the tacky clothes, big, big hair, corny video backdrops, and the annoying squealing voices (edited in AFTER the video was done), you'll find that this is not a bad workout video. There's both upper and lower body toning, you break a good sweat during the aerobics (which could be longer), and Jane Fonda does a great job explaining the moves. Decide between high and low impact, then follow the instructor in the lead. I bought this in a used bookstore, so I knew it would be dated, but it's also an aerobics classic.
