I had these on VCR tape and used them twice to lose weight and get in shape after I had each of my kids and they work well. Like anything else you have to be dedicated to using them for them to work. I pretty much wore the tapes out over the last 14 years and was glad to see them available on DVD finally.

I too had the old Target Training VHS tapes. The workout is really great because it works. You have to be dedicated to about an hour a day if you want to see results, but the good news is that you can split that up into two separate half hour segments (one for each of the first two DVDs). The results come quick too. That 30 day guarantee is pretty accurate. You can tell a difference in a week! It's not inches, but you can still tell that you've been doing something. It's an almost immediate boost to your self esteem if you've been disgusted with yourself for being too lazy.

I give it 4 stars instead of 3 because the exercises are easy to do even if you aren't in great shape. I have a bad lower back and a bad knee, but I have no trouble doing this workout. I have to wear my knee brace but that's all. The reason I would subtract a star (or two) is because I paid extra for the DVDs so that I could skip from one exercise to the next. There are three levels in one, but I think that you should be able to skip from the 30 or 60 second mark of the exercise that you are on to the beginning of the next. Unfortunately, if you hit the skip button on your remote, you might end up in the middle of the next exercise or even at the end of it. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Therefore, you have to fast forward like you would with a VHS tape to get to the next exercise. Of course, you still don't have to rewind, but it is annoying nevertheless.

The only other personal suggestion I have about this workout is that you make sure you have time to steal away from other family members to do the workout. Tony gets a little annoying, but it's all in the name of motivation. You don't mind listening half as much when you're alone, but if anyone else is around or within ear shot, you're more likely to be embarrassed. He's not nearly as embarrassing or even comparable for that matter to Richard Simmons though, so I guess it's worth it for the fab bod. :)

These are as good as I remember! I'm so glad they're out on DVD. Now I can get my personal fitness program back on track. Tony makes the exercises fun and he talks you through them so that it's not just a bunch of mindless repetitions. He also waxes philosophical during the "cool down" portion of the DVDs, but even that makes him seem more like a real person and less like the hyperactive "cartoon" we've often seen him depicted as in the media. The bottom line? I love this series and I truly believe that if anyone can get my lazy a$$ off the couch it's uncle Tony! Thanks, man! :~)

I used these videos when I was a junior in high school (I'm 31 now) to lose weight. I ended up losing 40 pounds in 4 months before returning to school for my senior year. I just had a little girl 4 months ago and am trying to get back into a regular workout routine. I am so glad to see these are now out on DVD. Instead of heading off to the gym I can just stick one of the DVD's in the machine while my daughter's asleep and I get the same great workout I did 15 years ago.

I have used these workout videos before in VHS form. Misplaced those so had to get the DVDs. This is a very good way to get an exercise program started in your home. I used these before when I was very heavy and out of shape, and it really works. Sometimes you feel like whomping Tony in the head if he says "you can do it" one more time, but the workout is thorough and good for any fitness level except maybe body builder types. Tony Little is a good positive motivator. I highly recommend these tapes, especially if you're just starting to try to get in shape.

Like the others I had the VHS tapes and got great results. Within 6 weeks my core was in shape and I felt the loose excess that needed to burn off with continued exercise. I stood straight naturally as my core was toned up. Yes Tony can get annoying with his "You can do it!" but I have to say the man knows his stuff and his program works for anyone no matter how much weight you have on. Now that my son is grown it's time to get back to me, not to mention that I will be standing up in a wedding as Maid of Honor on New Years Eve,Yikes! I know I can count on Tony Little to get me to my fitness goal on time. The VHS tapes are near death and thankfully there are DVD's now. Tony if you ever read this, from the bottom of my heart, you make getting in shape truly attainable. Thank you Tony!
