I have other exercise videos, but I always come back to Richard Simmons.
I am a senior citizen with a bum knee and other health problems. Exercising at least 30 minutes a day controls a great many health problems.

Richard's workouts are low impact and easy to follow and will not cause injury. I am glad to see he is updating some of the videos. He included a senior citizen in the video which sends the right message, I have learned that exercising is critical to maintaining health at an advanced age.

I also have his 60's and 80's blast off videos which are just 30 minutes in length which I use on those days I can't do the 40 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Fun Workout, March 10, 2009

I've been into physical fitness for years, have amassed many tapes & DVD's, including Tae Bo, etc. yet I found Richard's DVD the MOST fun of any.

The production is great--staged in a "mall", with the gang behind Richard a wonderful cross-section of shapes, sizes, & ages. I found Richard's cueing more than adequate, tho it takes a few tries to learn the routine.

The first time I tried this routine I couldn't get past the first 2 songs, but after a week or so I completed the whole thing. It's a hoot to do & u don't need much floorspace to do it either. Richard's upbeat attitude is infectious & 50 mins fly by while u really SWEAT.

It's easy to skip songs w/ DVD format, just do the ones u want.
I am 56 years old & highly recommend this for "Boomers" & others.

As most people who remember the 80's, I thought Richard Simmons was crazy. I bought one of his Sweating to the Oldies videos about 6 weeks ago with some reluctance but I figured it would be easier to workout to a video that shows people my size and bigger instead of the other videos I have tried where everyone looks like they need a sandwich. I loved the video so much since then I have bought two more. This Party Off the Pounds is my favorite. It is fast pace and after you are finished (even the first couple of times when you are just flailing around trying to keep up with Richard and figure out what his next move is) you know you have had a work out. I recommend this video to anyone who is serious about keeping up with an exercise routine. It is fun and energetic.
