Getting in shape with Richard Simmons' Dance Your Pants Off is not only a fun way to work out, but it is a great trip down memory lane. If you loved the music of the 1980's, then this is the workout for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is great for someone who has a lot of weight to lose., June 4, 1999

This review is from: Richard Simmons Dance Your Pants Off! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have this video and love to exercise with it. If you have a great deal of weight to lose, and are tired of looking at all the perfect hard bodies out there, this video lets you exercise with others who you can relate to. I think that Richard Simmons tries to seek out those who don't have the perfect "10" body. His enthusiasm rubs off on you. However, you have to stick with it a few days so that you can catch on to the moves. I love the end of the video where it shows the amounts of weight that the people exercising on the video have lost. It really gives you hope. From my experience, most other exercise videos are meant only for those who already have the perfect body. Richard's are meant for "REAL" people like you and me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, August 21, 2000

This review is from: Richard Simmons Dance Your Pants Off! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I alternate this with the "Sweating to the Oldies 2" video. This one takes about 45 minutes and is mostly aerobic with emphasis on lower body (I really feel it in my calves!). This tape has excellent warm-up and cool-down. In comparison, the "STO 2" video takes about an hour and includes a resistive upper body workout and floor abdominal routine along with aerobic. I am a beginner, and these tapes seem just right. I SWEAT, but I can do it. If you are overweight or have a fairly sedentary lifestyle, Richard is a good way to start! He has a way of motivating you to keep with it. Both have the feel of dance routines, which I have found to be enjoyable. But he doesn't give a lot of instruction on the steps or warnings before changes...so it takes a while to get it down. But, even if I don't stay with the steps exactly, at least I'm moving & sweating - you will be, too! I always feel better after doing these videos.

I started doing "Dance your pants off" about 10 months ago and I am happy to say that I have lost almost 40 lbs. and have gone from a size 12-13 pant to a size 7-8. I watched what I ate but Richard Simmons was my main focus everyday. I did the tape everyday and the results are wonderful! I really recommend this to anyone interested in losing weight and having a great time at the same time! Richard Simmons is such an inspiration in Dance Your Pants Off. You will feel so much better about yourself after doing it.
