5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Workout, April 3, 2005

This review is from: Richard Simmons: 60's Blast-Off (DVD)

This is such a fun workout that once you get the moves down, you'll hardly know you're working out until you're done and realize how sweaty you've gotten. This was one of the first Simmons aerobic routines I'd done, so it took a few tries for me to get the routine down - but don't give up because you WILL get it.

As with most of Richard Simmon's workouts, you start out with a warm up and each song is progressively a little more energetic until the cool-down - this one is 30 minutes in total length. Also featured in every Simmons routine I've done so far, and this is no exception, are his motivational and encouraging comments.

If you doubt you're really getting a workout, take a look at some of the other (less fun) tapes and you'll see many of the same motions, exercises and stretches. The difference is the fun and pure joy Richard Simmons brings to his videos. Why do plain old exercises when you can dance and have fun with Richard? I've never hurt myself with any of his routines, as I have with others (particularly my knees). If you're looking for a safe but effective toning workout, I recommend Blast and Tone, as well as Tone and Sweat.

One word of caution - Richard Simmons IS addictive.

4.0 out of 5 stars great fun, December 5, 2004

This is the first Richard Simmons video I have tried, and I am sold. The music is upbeat, the moves are easy to learn, and I actually look forward to exercising every day. It also helps to see other "real" people in the video rather than all those thin professional dancers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Easy to Follow, March 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Richard Simmons: 60's Blast-Off (DVD)

I just tried this DVD today. It was pretty easy to follow. Lots of hamstring and arm work. I had fun. The 32 minutes felt like 10. Highly recommend.
