 Good for beginners only. August 1, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I used this workout when I was a beginner excerciser, and it was very challenging! But, now I consider myself at a high intermediate level, I pulled this one out of the collection, and the weights, and the push-ups, and the lower body work are too short and are not a challenge, the aerobics will make you break a sweat, and raise your heart rate. But not much of a challenge. So overally this video is for beginners only, if you are not a begginer, but want weight work, try Jane Fonda's Toning and Shaping/Workout with Weights video, and alternate it with a video with more challenging aerobics such as the Lean Routine, which has an hour of aerobics with the option of High or Low impact or the New workout, which has 12/16 minutes of aerobics that is very very high impact.
SOOO FUNN!! July 8, 2005

ooh i love the cardio part of this video! its just soo fun, and even if you really really dont feel like working out, the 35 min will fly by so fast! its fast paced and you dont repeat any of the moves too many times, so you have no time to get bored.
however, i only gave it 3 stars because i dont like the weight and leg section. it was too slow and boring and the moves are not fresh: they are just plain moves you see everywhere (lunges, bicep curls..)
 Good Workout Great Value July 3, 2005

This is a really good workout for your lighter days, but do not be mistaken it is still a challenge. This video has a weights segment, aerobics segment, toning and streching. I have read other reviews that said this video was not a good workout. They are wrong! You simply have to take your personal intensity up a notch. For example use hand weights in the aerobic section, and increase your speed while jumping higher. There are two groups in the class a slower pace group and faster pace group. Follow the group that best suits you. This is a great all around workout that lasts about an hour. I would do the whole video to get a better burn. And take the costumes and music with a grain of salt. I would rather do a video with average looking people in dated clothes than some of these newer videos with uber fit perfect people in them. Give this video a chance it is worth it.
Has a Cult-like Following for a Reason :-) May 14, 2005

As you can tell by reading the reviews here, people love this video! It was made during the golden era of exercise videos when the emphasis was on fun just as much as fitness, and the workout is just so enjoyable. Especially if you were a child in the 80's like me! I would've had a blast doing all the dance routines if I'd had the video back in 1988. :-)
Yes, it is more lightweight compared to programs like Taebo, so it's great for those just starting out who want to get in shape, and those who aren't looking to kill themselves doing their daily workout. I'm trying to lose my extra 10 pregnancy pounds, and this video has the perfect intensity level to suit my purpose. If you're like a fitness fanatic looking to get all buff and muscley with the veins popping out everywhere, this one's not for you obviously.
This video has three distinct segments: aerobic, floor exercise, and light weight-lifting (not counting the warmup and the cooldown segments). The aerobics are very jazzy, lots of cute dance steps, very feminine. It has a celtic-themed routine, 60's inspired bobbysoxer-type dances, and some are even a little silly, with moves like 'the monkey' coupled with exaggerated grunting. But for the most part, it's not so goofy to where I'd be too embarrassed to do the workout in front of other people, even my husband. :-)
The floor exercises are pretty tough for me since I'm a wuss when it comes to pushups and situps, but it seems very well-rounded and thorough. The weight-lifting is similar in intensity, it's fairly tame compared to some other regimens but it's definitely effective for the average person.
All in all, this is a fabulous video that you will probably become very very attached to. I bought it during my first year of college, and here I am five years later still using it! :-)
 lazy burn June 20, 2004
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
Due to the other ratings (five stars), i bought this video, thinking it would be a good workout. It is lazy. I am not obsessed about calorie burning nor building up muscle, but i do like to work it out and challenge the different parts of the body with motion. This video does not have you lifting your legs up, to the sides and back, it gives few reps of each and it is seriously no pain and no gain. The ladies on it clearly worried more about their eighties big hairs and less about exercising for reals!! Don't buy it if you have the habit of exercising regularly.
