Poor and impatient

This video has good dance routines, as well as songs. Teh dance routine for "Windy", was the best. It made me feel good and free. That's the only part I like about the video.

The video is low-impact aerobics, and takes alot of dedication to see results. It took a very long time to see the benefits of this workout. I can see how this video can benefit very large people, because it isn't too straining on the body.

But if you have the energy and stamina to really shed excess weight off you body. Well then I would suggest you do this workout everyday. Even twice a day. A low-carb diet wouldn't hurt much. Because it will be some time before you see major results.

It's a good complimentry after you have done some weightlifting, but I wouldn't suggest this video to anyone.

IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!

Richard's Best!

I have just ordered a new copy of this video because I wore the old one out. I own almost every Richard Simmons video available, and this is still my all time favorite.

Good Start

I was 260 lbs and had just begun the atkins diet last february when I bought this tape (exercise is a must for atkins). I hated to exercise, but I found this tape delightful! It is quite a taxing workout if you are out of shape or obese, but after a couple of tries it is the perfect balance of sweat and fun. Without Richard I probably would never have become the devoted exerciser I am now. After a couple of months you'll need to switch to a more difficult tape (I recommend any of kathy smith's cardio tapes and tammi lee webb's Cardio Blast), but Richard is the best way to ease into an exercise routine.
