What a fun and motivating workout!!

Believe it, this tape is super! I have several workout tapes and get so ultra bored but not with this one.

I quit worrying about catching on and following the exact moves. Mostly, I simply step, dance, trot, slow jog and pace to the terrific rhythms and songs I grew up with.

And yep, I'm sweating up a storm two thirds of the way through!

It's a joy to see "real" people working out with Richard. His silly antics and enthusiasm make me laugh and he doesn't constantly babble throughout nor does he promote his other videos like other instructors do.

I'll be 62 in 4 months. And of course, at my age, I have various health issues and injuries. However, that doesn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying dancing down memory lane in time to this terrific and motivating tape!

I always come back to this one

I'm actually just 22 yrs old, but I have struggled with my weight all of my life and everyday of it. My appreciation for Richard Simmons began when I was a young child. My mom loves him and when the original Sweatin to the oldies came about, she and her sisters passed it around. I always ended up "sweatin" along with my mom whenever she'd do it, but not to lose weight, just to have fun. Finally in junior high I began to realize I needed to make a serious change and I began doing Richard's tapes almost every night. Midway thru highschool, I had dropped almost 60 pounds and I credit him with a lot of my success. This specific video is tops. I don't like "Sweatin" 2 very much for whatever reason and the first one got old a long time ago, but somehow it stands that this one is a keeper for me. My favorite ditty is "I get around"...it's actually surprisingly vigorous for Richard! Because these videos aren't overloaded with tough moves, it's easier to do them daily, which to me is the healhiest idea. Light-moderate exercise each day until the weight comes off! GOOD LUCK!

this is the best workout

i bought this tape last summer and loved the music and the dance moves. After a year and 60 lbs lighter I thought I was too advanced to continuee to work with this tape. I was running 1/2 marathons and doing step aerobics. A friend at work wanted help getting started on working out so I gave him this tape he loves it and does it several times a week. Now that fall is almost upon us I have been feeling less motivated I miss my tape, so I just ordered another one for myself. This tape is great for days you dont want to work out because it starts out kind of slow but you end up sweating alot by the time your through. The music makes me feel good and the dance moves and Richard make me smile. I am always in a good mood after doing this tape. The cool down song is - All the Leaves are Brown and the Sky is Gray, I have always loved and can't think of a better song to end the tape with and cool down to.
Cant wait to get this tape again.
