This 1991 Fonda workout works the lower body in two ways: 35 minutes of low-impact aerobic dance with some step, then 25 minutes of targeted conditioning for the abs, buttocks, and thighs. The whole workout is well choreographed, well instructed, and accessible to beginners. Fonda starts by giving basic directions for exercisers new to stepping. Then she bows out and a variety of energetic, capable instructors alternate teaching segments of the aerobic workout. They use the warm-up to pre-teach many of the moves you'll use later, so although the aerobic section has a lot of dance choreography, it's not all unfamiliar, and each move is repeated often enough to get it easily. If you prefer not to use the step at all, several participants show you how to do the whole aerobic workout without the step. For more intensity and a harder workout, you'll want to follow the instructors using the step. Fonda returns to teach Part 2 herself, starting with traditional lower-body floor work, mainly many variations of leg lifts and abdominal crunches, followed by a stretch. - -Joan Price

3.0 out of 5 stars Challenging Leg Workout! Feel the Burn!, February 26, 2002

By	mwreview "mwreview" (Northern California, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I have this video plus Jane Fonda's Step Aerobic and Abdominal Workout. I found the step routine to be a lot harder to follow on this video. This video features the same three rotating instructors, but the movements are more complicated and much faster. It's in my rotation of about 15 step workout videos, but I use Fonda's Step and Ab workout more often, as the step movements are so much easier to learn.

The floor exercises hosted by Jane Fonda (especially the leg lifts) are very challenging. I consider myself at a strong intermediate level and, I will admit, I never had to stop during a workout until I tried Fonda's leg routines. The leg lifts are a relatively long segment and boy do my legs burn when I do them! I have yet to finish the segment without having to rest in between. I think this part of the workout is great because I will be able to see how I improve by keeping track of how long I can keep up with the leg lifts. There is also ab and back exercises in this 25-minute second segment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome floorwork!, August 5, 2000

By	Sandi Tinker "Belles" (Pioneer, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first part of this tape is an aerobics routine that can be done either with or without a step and either non-impact or mixed impact. The step is used minimally; I wouldn't call this a "real" step routine. It's a fun routine that gives you a good workout (at the Beginner level without the step and possibly Intermediate level with the step). I downgraded this routine from 5 to 4 stars only because the aerobic portion of the routine is too short - only 21 or 27 minutes, depending on how you count the last section of standing leg work. The second part of this tape is the real reason to buy it! It contains the most awesome floor routine for the lower body that I've found so far. It's very concentrated and just plain difficult to do! I expect that a Beginner would tend to give up in frustration, an Intermediate would find it just enough of a challenge, and an Advanced would need to add ankle weights. Whatever your level, this is a great lower body floor routine!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this workout, January 30, 2001

By	G. Sawaged (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is my favourite exercise video. The aerobic section is a good length, although advanced exercisers may find it not long enough at 35 minutes. When I first started with this tape 3 years ago, it was hard to get through the aerobics part, and impossible to finish the leg routine. But after a few days of doing it, it got easier, until eventually I could do the whole thing from start to finish. I felt and looked great. But last year I was very sick, and didn't exercise for almost a whole year. Now I am starting to get back into it again. And once again I am finding it hard to finish the leg work, although the aerobic section is ok. But I know from experience that I will soon get my strength back, and I will, after a few turns at it, be able to finish it once again. It's my goal.
