This is simply one of the BEST ways to get some exercise without joining a gym or spending STUPID money on a machine that will end up as a dusty coat-rack in your basement. The music is wonderful, and the whole scene just puts you in an enthusiastic mood. For the average person without spectacular athletic skills, this is a fabulous way to get fit. By all means, buy it!

I have been doing Richard Simmons since probably or possibly 3rd. grade after my ninth birthday. My birthday: August 27th., 1984. I have autism to some extent, Tourette Syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obessive compulsive disorder (OCD), so it is probably or possibly extremely hard to get me into regular sports involving other people because of a lack of interest.

My name is Tom DeWitt, not Linda DeWitt.

This exercise dvd would especially appeal to the "baby boomer" generation who grew up with all the oldie's tunes. It's fun and has a different approach than most exercise programs do. I find it helpful to have 2 or 3 different sorts of exercise programs on hand for the winter months and for when I need a bit of variety.

I had some of Richard's workouts on VHS back in the 90's, but gave them away long ago. Recently, I bought a new DVD set. These are a blast! I'm over 50, so the music is what I grew up with. I didn't have any trouble following Richard. The steps are repeated in 4's..so you know it's going to change. When I lost my step, I would just dance around until I found it again. The hour flew by because it is such FUN! Dancing is a great way to burn fat. It lifts my spirit. If you like to dance, try these.... You'll be sweatin'!

I think this is a great video, i did this video when it first came out i lost a lot of weight. I recently wanted to lose more and got this video again. I love how he uses real music and its more like dancing. Other workouts use weird music witch i do not like. With real music i can sing and get really into it because of the songs and beats. Its worth getting. My fav. work out video.

Number 3 is a little harder to follow than the first 2. I love the music so it makes it easier to want to work out with this one. I alternate using 2 and 3 and have lost 16 pounds. It's just fun!

richard simmons has a way of making excercise fun. i liked the music & when i couldn't follow his steps i just made up my own---wow did i really firm up after just 3 months!

I'm sorry but working out with Richard Simmons is always just plain fun and with this video it's the same. Who doesn't like to 'remember' music and when you can dance around to tunes that you remember while getting that old body in better shape, well it's just a win/win situation. Working out to me is something I have to command myself to do, so if there is something out there that will make me smile while I'm doing it...more power to it and to me.

A timeless video capturing the spirit of an era with an incessant voice that propels us forward, always thrusting us towards the goal of getting our buns in shape. Nothing spells *C*A*M*P* quite like Richard Simmons "Sweatin' to the Oldies 3." Well, maybe "Love's BabySoft" but that would be a different party. Great background video for debutante or other coming out soires. Be sure to make punch for everyone's refreshment afterwards. Jell-o shooters a must.
