Movie Review: LOVE THAT RICHARD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have this video (along with all his others) and I love it! It's a motivative, fun and energetic workout with great music and of course Richard's great sense of humor to get you up and going and to keep you coming back for more! Love it!Movie Review: I lost 135 pounds...
Summary: 5 Stars
I began with slow walks around the block everyday. At first only 10 minutes, but working up to 30-60 minute walks. Then one day I put in an Oldies tape and started dancing. These tapes appeal to me since I always have enjoyed dancing and wished I was better at it. Well, when I dance alone I can PRETEND I'm the best dancer eve. ;) Good music and cheerful banter helped motivate me. As I lost weight and need to kick up the routine I added weights, speeded it up, picked up videos to alternate with......It's been 2 years now and I still enjoy a week or two of Richard's videos when the weather is rainy or when I just feel like giving my mood a push up.I really enjoy seeing real live people working out in these videos. Female, male......Obese to average, muscular to flabby......It makes me feel good to be working out with other normal appearing persons.
THe advantage you get with aerobics is that when you "outgrow" a video you either step up your speed or add weights to your wrists and ankles for toning. This video is the best for toning if you add 1 pound strap-weights for the entire video and instead of ligting bottles grab 3-6 pound weights.
I'm less than 30 pounds from ideal weight now and I still use this video for a toning workout.
Movie Review: Richard is the Best. This isn't his best.
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this and Sweatin' to the Oldies III. I love the music and dancing, however it is hard to follow this video because the camera isn't always on Richard at the beginning of a dance or when he changes steps. Head shots don't help with foot work. STTO III is more professional in this regard. At first I thought that this didn't provide as good a workout as STTO III, but my heart rate and sweat prove otherwise. I believe it is because these dances use your arms more. Richard is great for those of us who don't have perfect bodies and probably never will. Even though I am toned and losing weight, I will never look like Denise Austin or Kathy Ireland. I've just ordered the original STTO and will let you know what I think.Movie Review: Awesome workout
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tape. I really love using Richard Simmons because he doesn't make it feel like you're really excersizing, but having fun. He always shows you how to have a good time. I use this everyday!Movie Review: recommended

I alternate this with the "Dance your pants off" video. This one is about an hour long, and it includes upper body resistance workout and floor abdominal workout. The aerobic portion is just hard enough; I am a beginner and this makes me SWEAT (the only way to burn fat!) but I can do it. In comparison, Dance Your Pants Off is about 45 minutes long and mostly aerobic with emphasis on lower body activity. As far as instructional quality, Richard has a way of encouraging you to keep at it. But he doesn't give much direction on the steps & changes, so it takes several times to get the moves down. I always feel better after doing these videos.
