I'm significantly overweight, and I've never tried an exercise tape before this one. And now I'm sold on it!
As a number of reviewers have complained, Richard Simmons' exercise routine lacks much instruction, and on my initial effort I found this terribly frustrating. But after only a few tries, I've discovered that even a profound klutz like me can start picking up the flow, and now I follow with little difficulty. The intensity of the work-out is very much determined by your own energy level; when I began with this tape, it didn't take much awkward stumbling about to generate a sweat and elevate my heart rate. As my conditioning has improved, I find that by putting extra energy into the moves (particularly the arm movements), the exercise can become much more rigorous. No small part of my enthusiasm for this tape stems from the wondrous array of body types "sweatin'" along with Richard. It is a great motivator to see very overweight individuals plunge into the exercise routine with big smiles on their faces. And don't miss the final segment after the cool-down: the participants are identified and their weight loss accomplishments told. There are some amazing and encouraging stories told there! This is an exercise tape that I highly recommend for those of us who are significantly overweight and trying to improve our fitness.

This work out video is the best! I love it because it is fun and doesn't seem like "work" at all. It really helps you lose weight and tone up.

I thought Richard Simmons would offer a good energetic workout. I would recomend this product to the elderly or people with physical conditions, I on the other hand got more of a workout walking to the mailbox to get this tape. I stood in front of the tv for about 15 min's waiting for them to start the actual workout I then started fast forwarding looking for the workout. I never found it. I then took the tape out and put another one in. If you are looking for a good workout I would recommend you look elsewhere. Sorry Richard.

First of all I would just like to say that I love Richard Simmons and his tapes have made me happier than any other workout tape I have ever used. I am 16 years old, and when I was little, about 3 or 4, my mom bought Richard Simmons: Sweatin' to the Oldies, her and her friends would excercise to it and bring their daughters along and we would dance and just have a good time to the music. Now, they haven't done that in years, well, probobly about 12 years actually, and I, being the naive teenager I was, would make fun of my mom for having done Richard Simmons because it seemed so lame. But then a couple years ago, in secret, because I would have been devistated to like, have my older brother and his friends come down and see me doing Richard Simmons, I put in Richard Simmons and excerised with him. And I actually really liked it! I loved the cheesy dance moves and watching the people on the tape sing along to the music! It makes you feel so good about yourself and (suprisingly) did not make me feel like a loser! It made me feel good. Now if I ever am feeling like I have been lazy all day but it's too rainy or cold to go outside running and I'm too lazy (or it's too late) to go to the gym, I pop in Richard Simmons. It still makes me feel good. At the end of the workout when you cool down he tells you to "Give yourself a hug" and it makes me smile, everytime.
