This review is from: Richard Simmons Blast Off! Your 20-Minute Energizing Workout Video [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I love this tape! I'll be the first to tell you exercising can be a bore and a chore, but this one is so much fun that I actually WANT to do it! None of the movements are difficult or strenuous, but it gets you moving to really catchy music with motivational messages. Best yet, you feel great when you're done! How can you go wrong?

I bought it to augment days when I do a weights work out and feel like I need some cardio or just to move around a little bit. At only 20 minutes, it's also a great routine to use when you don't have a lot of time but want to get some exercise in. It would probably be a great start for someone who hasn't exercised in a long while and wants to get moving. The steps are relatively easy to follow, although getting the moves down on any new routine is always a little challenging for grace-impaired me. Nothing is terribly strenuous and you can pick it up in terms of how much you move as you get more fit.

Bottom line, this is just a "feel good" tape with Richard Simmons at his best. It's fun and you feel good and uplifted when you get done. I went from dubious to an ardent Richard Simmons fan after buying a few of his videos and credit him for keeping me interested and motivated for the past 5-1/2 months.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favoirte Richard Simmons Video, September 26, 2004

Hi.

I have Sweatin' to the Oldies 1 and 2, Broadway Blast and Groovin' in the House, but this is my favorite. He cues better here than in the other tapes of his that I've seen. It's short only 20 minutes but you keep moving and he's not silly like in the other tapes. And as the other person said the music is very inspirational. Great short cardio tape! I highly reccomend it.

I love this video! It's a great way to begin my day, getting my heart and lungs ready in a short time for a full day ahead. I'm trying to find a soundtrack of the music also-very inspirational. A little complicated in a couple of spots, but easy to catch on. I have to be gentle with my knees and this is easy to adapt. Super video!
