I have tried many workout tapes in my lifetime but this one is the best. You really get a workout in just 25 minutes and if you have the series then you can go right from the abs, buns and thighs workout right into body sculpting or low impact aerobics and give yourself a great 50 minute workout. The moves are easy to learn, the camera doesn't jump around and you can actually see what your supposed to be doing instead of looking at just faces.

I would recommend this tape (plus the other two) highly.

I love this video. I have used it after the birth of each of my three children and I see results everytime. I gained a lot of weight with each pregnancy (50+ lbs) and this workout alone helped me get it all off plus some. It is a nice easy to follow workout that will make you sweat. I like that you have a choice of high or low impact, so you can ease yourself back into working out if you have been out of it for a while or if you're just beginning. The toning exercises are great and you definitely feel it afterward. These are two great 30 minute routines that you can fit into a busy day. I put my baby in the swing and the older kids watch or join me. I would definitely recommend this to mothers who don't have time to get to the gym, but not to those who are more advanced and are expecting a hardcore workout.

It was not until recently that I started to work out, again, and Jane fonda made it easier and fun. I love her personal trainer series, because it is doable. Nothing out of this world, but exercising, in general, will make you feel great. I strongly recommend this video, since I have been doing it I have lost 15 pounds and dropped a full dress size. Defenetely an A+++.

For someone at an advanced level these routines would be a little boring, since they are very repetitive, but this is what makes them easy to learn. With two workouts per tape you can alternate them "for variety and for fun." It is easy to see how to do either the high or low impact variations, unlike most other aerobics videos which only occasionally show the low impact version. The toning exercises between the aerobics make the workout feel more complete, and are a nice break, although they are very challenging. This could serve as the only exercise video you own, since it includes both aerobics and toning, but alternating it with Total Body Sculpting gives a more complete workout.

Even though its only 25 minutes, this tape gives an intense lower body workout. Cardio routines are alternated with toning intervals. It's dance oriented but easy to follow and the music is very jazzy and upbeat. I loved every minute of it! I like to alternate this tape with Jane's "Total Body Sculpting" tape for a more balanced workout.

I love this video. The steps are simple to learn so I can spend the time and energy doing them instead of trying to master complicated moves. I find the Abs, Buns and Thighs segments to be challenging. 25 minutes is the perfect workout.

I have been using this tape for 5 years and haven't tired of it. I had gained 65 pounds while having a difficult pregnancy and lost all of my stomache muscles. This video was easy for me to start and kept me motivated. I ended up losing 70 pounds after doing this tape every day for the first 8 months after having the baby. I haven't gained any weight and now I do this video in addition to other fitness videos. It was great to have those simple moves so that I could really work hard rather than focusing on choreography. Also great that the segments are short. I could squeeze it in when my daughter was napping. Now , she does it with me! Definitely worth it to buy it. Results can be seen quickly!

This is my favorite exercise video. The format (two 25 minute workouts with alternating aerobics and strength sections) is perfect. I love this tape because it doesn't take up much time. Each workout session is difficult, you really feel it, but not so difficult to make you never want to do it again. Jane is a great instructer as well. Overall, a great tape for people who hate to exercise and want to get an intense workout in a minimum of time.

I love the workout you get for such a short time. In 25 minutes you burn calories, tone up with legs and buns with squats and lunges. After all that you do some abs that is great for beginners and people who are advanced.

I worked out with Jane for over a year and lost 35 pounds! I have several of her tapes and I think the music and moves are easy to learn and so fun to do! I just recently had a baby, so I have to get back into the groove again but I won't have a problem as long as Jane is my personal trainer!

I work out a lot and this video I found was good for beginners and not for someone who is looking for an intense workout. The aerobic moves are very basic and toning is concentrating on thighs only - which I did find pretty challenging. If you are looking for a basic workout without a lot of sweat, this one is for you.
