5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Fun Fun, March 7, 2000

This review is from: Tonin Uptown and Tonin Downtown [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a really fun toning video. It has great music, fun sets and is really motivating. It is divided into two sections. Tonin' Uptown is an upper body workout and Tonin' Downtown is lower body and abs. Each section is about half an hour with its own warm up and cool down so you can just do half if that's all you have time for. This is a good video for a beginner or intermediate exerciser. Someone really fit would not find it very challening at all. My only complaint is that the toning rings could be a little bit sturdier. Mine are showing a lot of wear from so much use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Richard at his best, July 31, 2000

These are two great routines. One word of caution though, it's a good idea to learn correct form from other instructors. You could hurt yourself if your wrists, shoulders, and knees aren't in the right position at the right time. Other than that, these are fun routines and provide thorough toning. I'm sorry to hear that the rings aren't included, but you can get them through Richard's site as well as heavier rings, to which I just graduated. The best part about the rings is that they're easy to travel with. Once you have the routines down, you can use the rings anywhere to keep toned.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Way to Get in Shape!, August 2, 2001

This review is from: Tonin Uptown and Tonin Downtown [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although all of his tapes are excellent, I particularly like this two tape set. The first one, "Tonin' Uptown" is for your upper body, and the "Tonin' Downtown" is for...you guessed it, your lower body. The tapes run around 30-40 minutes each and are easy enough for a beginner to do. The music keeps you moving and let's face it...Richard Simmons is just pretty darn motivational! It's hard not to give the exercise routine your best effort, even though he's just on tape! Be forwarned--the toning rings are NOT included with the videos, but you can easily buy them at many discount stores. The students in his class could be you and me...they aren't all drop-dead gorgeous looking models, and I appreciate that. Instead of sitting at the computer, why don't you order this tape and get busy toning with Richard??
