This video is a total head to toe workout. Excellent for beginners; people with chronic illness who need to work out daily. This video is challenging yet doable. The class is helping me cope with fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue/myofacial pain syndrome. You too may find this a rewarding class. If you need a workout to help chronic illness try this one. I love it. thanks Jane...

I have the original "Prime Time"Workout & I wore out the tape!
as I CAN keep up with Jane/Shirlee(Jane's Sis)/M'Liss/Herb ("our
token man")/Hazel & the gang! I lift my free weights when the
jumping comes in. This is a very effective workout & I LOVE IT!
I know it by heart & I enjoy doing my routine early in the Morning. I have a lot of Fonda vids & I crack up when I see all
the Hairstyles she has in her Retrospect! LOL! When I was ill in
2000 I could'nt do but 10 minutes. Now:3-4 times a week I'm
doing my 50 minute routine! Well worth it!!!

This used to be titled her Prime Time Workout. This is a great workout for those who want a slower to do routine than Jane's other workouts, especially the ones made around the time this was. It's easier and less challenging, but beware this is NOT easy. This really requires you to be able to do aerobics and do moves that only flexible and limber people can. This is still a wonderful routine to do aside from that. Soft and vibrant music and good length makes this an enjoyable class.

I really like this workout it features a gentle warmup, basic ballet streches, arm toning, aerobics, and abs & bottom work plus more toning streches and a cool down. This video is really good for a begginer or intermediate. Its not as fast as the Jane Fonda New Workout, but it gives a nice over all body workout. This is a great workout to do on alternate days with either Jane's New Workout or Jane's Challenge Workout. The quality of Jane's videos still holds up all these years later, better than anything I could have found at wal-mart or best buy.

This is one of my mother`s tapes from her original collection.Jane Fonda`s Prime Time Workout,she has had it for years.I think she bought it when it was brand new.I was a bit weary about doing it at first.I thought it was going to be too easy or something.I ended up loving it.
Jane does a lot of stretching that makes me feel great on this video.She does a lot of ballet moves and toning.The aerobics portion is also very nice.Me and my mother love doing this tape.I do not think it is dated at all.It is still a wonderful workout after all the years that have passed.This tape is wonderful for flexibility and the stretching is unsurpassed.Jane fonda is a wonderful instructer,I love her work.I highly reccomend this tape for everybody.

I had the original "Prime Time" workout VHS tape for 16 years and used it so much I wore mine out too. This workout is a great workout for all parts of your body. The aerobic part is short but challenging. The sit ups,ballet bar and leg work really make you feel like you are making progress but without being too hard core. (I usually fast fwd thru the arm work because I find it boring)
After using this tape consistently you may find that you'll need to move on to something a little more challenging. This is a good tape to fall back on when you have had a lapse in exercise and need to get back on track. I really like it.I was really happy to see that it is offered on Amazon.

I too wore out the vhs "Prime Time". This is a great workout that incorporates moves of some of the current hot workouts,i.e., pilates.

p.s. Shirlee is Jane's stepmom.

I loved this workout in my '30s, and I love it now that I'm 60. I am hoarding old videos of it. Some of her videos have been put on DVD. Why not this one? I used to find the arm exercises boring, too, but trust me on this. Once you have arthritis in your hands, and neck pain that gives you shoulder pain, you'll appreciate how good these exercises are. This routine was, after all, originally developed by Jane for women in their "prime time," and it's extremely effective for that age as well as a wider range of ages. Jane still rocks!

This workout is fairly good. There is a warm-up, aerobics, floor work, barre work, and exercises for your arms and waist.

The aerobic portion may be short, but it is challenging. The floor work is quite effective as well. Great overall workout for young, in between or old alike.
