Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover
Burn fat and build muscle in less time! The newest research in weight loss shows that shorter bursts of aerobic exercise combined with strength training is a great way to burn fat, build muscle and keep that metabolism zapping calories all day long. With my new "Blast-Off" series you can get total body conditioning and a fat-burning aerobic workout in only 40 minutes! "Disco Blast-Off" Come with me for this disco workout, live from my studio in Beverly Hills. It's got music you know by heart and dance moves that'll make you reel like you're at Studio 54.

"Latin Blast-Off" Come into my cantina where the air is tropical and moves are "muy caliente" in this sexy, super-fun dance workout. "Mega Mix Blast-Off" This high-energy workout combines the best of dance music fro a sweatin' good time.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Fun, You Actually Want to Exercise!, March 10, 2003

By A Customer

I disagree with the other reviewers. I found the difference between these videos and Richard's previous videos the exact reason why I love these so much. It looks like Richard hired some real dancers for the videos. Not that I have anything against overweight people (I shouldn't), but it is nice to do the exercises while watching some truly attractive people. The outfits they wear are *fun*. Some things in the Latin workout are hysterically funny, like when a woman sitting at a table in the "club" starts to gyrate and dance against Richard. The look on his face is to die for. Not only will you get fit doing these tapes, you will also laugh a lot...if you have a sense of humor.

The music includes songs by Ricky Martin, Enrique, Madonna, Cher, and others. The music on all 3 tapes is phenomenal. You can't help but feel incredibly happy exercising to this music. The cool down sessions are great. The toning segments WORK. I've gone from "I don't want to exercise" to "I can't wait" because these tapes are so much fun and you will see results! Richard uses much more effective moves in these tapes. His cueing is still terrible. But once you do them a few times, you'll have the moves down. And you'll be having so much fun doing them!

I've lost 10 lbs. and one pants size in 3 weeks with just these tapes. Thank you for making me a "mover" again, Richard! And please, make more videos like these!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch, September 25, 2003

By A Customer

Ok, I bought these against the advice of people here but I'm a Simmons Groupie and didn't have these 3. I just finished the Latin Blast Off and yes, the moves are hard but they need practice to learn. This video is fun, and fast, and the time just flies. I did the best I could with the moves but after a few times I'm sure I'll get it down. Plus, it's loaded with beautiful people with great costumes and makeup, and they are having such FUN....
If you are used to another Richard video and know his normal moves then get this. It may take awhile to get the moves down but doesn't it always? Plus, it's 40 minutes long. I always thought 1 hour was too much and 30 minutes was too short, this is perfect. The aerobic part was about a half hour and then there was a toning session with "cool weights" that you can order from Richard but they are just wrist weights you can buy at any Wal-Mart, or do without until you build your arm strenth up. Great video set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Richard's a blast!, March 20, 2004

By A Customer

I popped in these tapes after not having used them for a few years, and found that they are still fun. Great cardio workout, and Richard's attitude is upbeat and infectious. The other background exercisers in the tape seemed to have a lot of fun, too. The dance steps may take a few viewings to get down, but I don't find them difficult. These tapes might make for a good warmup for an intermediate or advanced user.

3.0 out of 5 stars Shorter, more intense workouts
The workouts in these videos are shorter and more intense than Richard's normal videos, which can be a plus since I don't always have a whole hour to devote to exercise. Read more

Well, some parts of the videos, are like a bad rap video, it is as if Richard Simmons forgets he is hosting a excersize video. Read more
