5.0 out of 5 stars Still one of the best, February 27, 2001

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

Yes, it's the '80s. Yes, the outfits are now hysterical (dig those leopard-print suspenders and big hair!). Yes, it's Jane Fonda, who has given up doing aerobics these days. But it's still the best low-impact workout I've ever found. As others have said, you've always got one foot on the ground, but you definitely get your heart rate up. The moves are fun. My favorite one is "chicken turns."

I prefer the enthusiasm and silliness to some of the more sterile video styles out there; it definitely doesn't detract from the workout. This definitely isn't the right video for you if you take yourself seriously, however.

It's about 35 minutes of aerobics and another 10 minutes of excellent warmup and cooldown; this tape has the best cooldown out there. I wish I could attach it to all my other workout videos.

As others have said, it covers a range of ability -- from beginner to intermediate. I'd say an advanced exerciser might find the video below their capabilities, even with added weights. But it definitely brings about results -- after doing this video for a few months, I visibly toned up and lost inches.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really, really love this video!, August 9, 2002

By A Customer

I've tried a bunch of tapes, and I keep coming back to this one. For a good, whole-body aerobic workout that really is low-impact (but HIGH intensity!), you just cannot beat it. And, if you actually DO it with some regularity, the results are there. Nothing works if you don't do it enough -- but I've seen the difference in my shape when I actually stick to a workout, and this video is the ONLY one that I've seen that kind of results from.

I've tried other Jane Fonda workouts, too -- my other favorites would be the Complete Workout and the Yoga Workout. I'm looking forward to trying Stress Reduction Workout in the near future, too, as something to add to my 'rotation'. But I'll ALWAYS rotate back to this old favorite!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't be exercise, it's fun!, June 21, 2004

By A Customer

Exercise has always been a dreaded word around me; until recently when I failed a stress test at 45 years old. I knew I had to do something. High impact aerobics always results in shin splints on me, so I was looking for something that would give me a good cardiovascular work-out, hold my interest, and not cause stress injuries.

This tape was heaven sent! I didn't think I'd be able to keep up with a 50 minute tape, but within a couple days I was keeping pace. I do it 5 days a week and have noticed a tremendous improvment in my pulse rate. It's a lot of fun. If you can get beyond the class clown, (which is pretty easy to do) you can find yourself dancing your way to a fit condition with a smile on your face. I recommend this tape to anyone who, like me, never thought they could actually look forward to exercise.
