5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, dance to '80s tunes, November 27, 2001

By	Lauren Holmes (Plymouth, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This workout feels more like participating in a musical than like a typical aerobics routine. There are three sets and a rotating "cast" of fellow dancers. Richard doesn't offer much cueing, but the moves are easy to pick up after a couple times through. The music is lots of fun -- "She Works Hard for the Money," "All Night Long," "Gloria," "Sweet Dreams," "Call Me," and many other '80s hits. My favorite is cooling down to "The Rose," which is sung live by the woman who actually wrote it. By far my favorite workout tape for the past six months.

4.0 out of 5 stars Contagiously happy people! Fun, December 22, 2002

By	Rizzo (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

What I like about Richard Simmons videos is that he dares to use "real music", music that is recognizable, and fun. Sure it isn't the original singers, but these tunes are done well. Richard's group is happy, very happy, very very happy. You can't help appreciate that and it is contagious. The sets change as well as the front-line exercisers.

Now, I don't generally use his videos because I feel they are geared for more overweight people and I use more challenging aerobic videos. But I got off the wagon recently and decided to get back into exercising and chose Richard Simmons to get me back in the mood.

What I don't like about his videos is that he constantly changes steps. Constantly. I prefer to stick with a step at least 6-8 times, but he changes after almost 2 times. I don't care for that, as it causes me to get off track and just move anyway til I catch up again.

Otherwise, it is a fun workout! MzRizz

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Stunned, January 5, 2005

By	aninerz "aninerz" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This workout was really fantastic. At first it went pretty fast; I had never done a Richard Simmons tape before. First time, I was a little slow to catch and perfect all the moves, but by the second time I had it almost had all of (the 50 minutes) down. Now, I'm stuck and can't stop doing this tape. The music is paced fairly consistantly, but I never got to tired and was always looking forward to the next song. The scenery also changed every few songs from a park, to some shops, a club, etc. All the people were alive and I wasn't exhausted by the end and had to do the tape again. Now I'm hooked and am trying all his other tapes/dvd's. I feel like dancing all the time.
