This 50-minute low-impact aerobic workout is vintage Jane Fonda--literally! It consists of excerpts from routines from four earlier Jane Fonda videos: Stress Reduction, Lean Routine (where Jane is dressed in a lacy black fishnet-type unitard and little black boots), Low Impact (blue sequined leotard and blue legwarmers--remember those?), and Complete Workout. If you're easily bored, this constantly changing variety will keep you moving. The class participants are also varied--all dress differently and feel free to express their personalities. As always, if Fonda does a high-impact move, another class participant shows modifications. At the end, Fonda gives a 15-minute talk about how to eat and cook. Although this is an older video, it shows you why Jane Fonda became a major fitness celebrity and a workout-video trendsetter. Her workouts are fun and lively, and the production quality is high. --Joan Price

4.0 out of 5 stars Easier than I expected, April 20, 2003

This review is from: Jane Fonda's Favorite Fat Burners [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A video with the words 'fat burner' in the title really should rev up your engines, so I found this one to be a bit disappointing. It's just too easy, pulling segments from her 'Low Impact' and 'Stress Reduction' videos, which are low-intensity routines. But you won't be bored--the change of style, scenery, and music makes it fun and interesting. The moves are very easy to catch on to, even in the dancy 'Lean Routine' segment. Horrifying 80's fashion and scary electric blue leotards, but your eyes will soon adjust. Overall an easy workout for advanced exercisers, probably great for beginners.

This is one of the few exercise tapes that I keep coming back to, again and again. It combines the best low-impact exercises from 4 of her best workouts (pre-1993). It is hard to get bored with this video as it hops from one year to another, different tapes and different styles. It combines a warm up, low-impact aerobics and a relaxing stretch at the end. This is a 50 minute exercise that is suitable for beginners to intermediate. Also includes a 15 minute segment after the exercise program where Jane discusses the truths about diet and exercise, and offers her personal advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for people that don't like to exercise, July 19, 2005

This review is from: Jane Fonda's Favorite Fat Burners [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a really fun workout video. It has a lot of variety and takes several times to get the steps down, but it's not so complicated that you feel like you'll never catch on. I'm 16, and I think it's cool to step back in time for 50 minutes and see the "old school" outfits and watch Jane Fonda's perky crew. If you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll have fun with this one. I wouldn't recommend it for the advanced exerciser. It's not so easy that I feel like I didn't do anything (I always need a shower afterwards), but it's not super challenging, either. It would be good for people that are easily injured or are just starting out. There are modifications for people that can't do high impact.
