I love this video. It is fun & easy to follow. It gives me just the right amount of low impact arobics. At age 58 and having lost over 80 pounds (45 to go) this is perfect. It is helping me to continue to lose, and have fun at the same time. I recommend this to anyone.

I LOVE THIS DVD. i ACTUALLY CAN "DO" THE EXERCISES AND THE OLDIES MUSIC IS WONDERFUL. I LIKE THE FACT THAT THE FOLKS DOING THE EXERCISES ARE "REAL" PEOPLE RATHER THAN 22 YEAR OLD BODY BUILDERS TYPES. THE DVD IS GOOD EXERCISE AND FUN.

I have always enjoyed Richard and this is better than the first one. More workout less nonsense

What I like about this video is that because each song/routine is somewhat separate you don't have to continue for the full time, you can dance/exercise to a few and then stop and rest. As you build your stamina, you can simply do additional segments and can easily track your progress.

I used to do this workout in highschool on a VHS tape. I loved it so much that I am buying the DVD version. It's an awesome workout!

This exercise video is okay, but the camera needs to focus more on the footwork and less on the upper body movements. I found this video somewhat hard to follow along.

Music has a great beat, easy listening as well as easy to follow.

But there is too much time between workouts. It can discourage you from continuing just waiting for the next segment.

I know, I know I could be marking time or something else but I would prefer to keep on going.

P.S. I am 77 years old...I need continuous action.

Love it! Great music - low impact. Additional floor exercises, but not strenuous. Perfect!!! Getting great results.

I love Richard and often go to his Saturday classes, and I must say that this video is perfect for beginners. I'm about 5'5" and 120 lbs but hadn't worked out in a couple years. I have to say that I barely felt the work out after the first week. I can imagine that if someone just needs the motivation to get up and work or is slightly overweight and needs low impact, this is perfect.But for me, it stopped being effective after using it for about a week.

Richard's instruction is helpful and he tries to keep things fun and light. The only problem is for someone seeking a bit tougher of a workout, this will not satisfy. It is your basic low level aerobics. So if you are looking for an excuse to get up and move but not necessarily get a great workout in, then I recommend it. But don't get this if you need an intense burn.

Also, I do recommend this over his other general aerobics. He adds some arm work and ab work in this video and if you do them with weights, you can get a decent burn going. Overall this is my "break" video for when I dont feel like doing a hard work out but still want to move. I've liked it for that purpose.

If your truely just starting to work out then this is definitely a great start, when I first started doing this workout I was already some what active so it wasn't as heart pumping as I hoped, I have to admit the music is on the cheesy side but you really get over it once you see the fun they're having in the video, it really is good if you have knee problems in that the workout has very little hopping and squatting
