Good for younger people who haven't worked out in a long tim

"First, Simmons wears a sweat suit, much better than the tank top and shorts of his other stuff. The pace isn't so fast that you can't figure out what's going on or keep up. If you haven't worked out in a while, it's a way to get moving again. It gets the pulse up but isn't so bad that you think you are going to die. Also none of this no pain no gain and feel the burn nonsense. The excerise part is about 40 minutes, including 20 of cardio. You should know (cause these things never tell you) that you should have at least 8 by 8 feet of room. You can do it in less if you take small steps. You also need a tall back chair with no sides. Although I made do with a sort of tall back office chair with arms. I was pleased that I didn't aggravate my chronic shoulder and back problems."

Okay... But pretty easy

"I was just a little disappointed with this DVD. First, the introductions are way too long! It takes a while to actually start the workout. Second, the music is not the Golden Oldies I expected. And the workout is more exercise than dance which is more what I expected from Richard Simmons. That said, it is a good workout, and it is fun to see the parents of different movie stars. Plus, the DVD really gives you a lot. Not only is there the workout with Richard Simmons, but then you have workouts led by the Silver Foxes. At 58, I think this DVD is a little "tame" for me, but I use it when I'm not feeling very energetic."

"I'm running it on a laptop. There are some jerky movements but the musical background is alright. On my winter vacation in Texas we, as a group, used it weekly fron Monday thru Friday in the recreation hall. It is a very good DVD. I introduced it to my daughter-in-law when I returned home. She is a member in a health club and she said that Richard Simmons has done a good job with this DVD. I tried to order a CD last summer but couldn't get it so I reordered it on a DVD. Thank you."

Exercise for Seniors

"I purchased this DVD as a replacement for a VCR that has been used for years with a group of seniors at our church. They love it. It is gentle and yet works all areas of the body. Those who have consistently attended the sessions are in great health & condition. Most of them are in their 70's."
