Amazon.com: Richard Simmons is the king of motivational exercise, especially if you're a beginner. This video workout is a dance party simulating a class reunion, with an energizing live band playing lively hits from the '50s and '60s, such as "It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To," "Great Balls of Fire," and "Dancing in the Streets." The singers and musicians sometimes come offstage and dance with the exercisers, adding to the energy and festivity. The choreography is very simple, low impact, light intensity, and appropriate for beginners and overweight exercisers. (You may not get your heart rate up if you're very fit, although you'll enjoy the music.) Richard doesn't do much in the way of cueing--he assumes you'll just follow along. His onscreen class has women and men of all body shapes and sizes, and everyone is having a blast. You will, too. At the end, the exercisers dance down the floor and the screen flashes how many pounds they've lost--several have lost more than 100 pounds. (22 minutes of aerobics, total 43 minutes with warm-up, cool down, and stretch.) --Joan Price
WORKOUT GREAT WORKOUT AND RICHARD SIMMONS STILL ROCKS!!!!!ALL OF HIS VIDEOS ARE SO EASY TO DO AND YOU CAN SPLIT UP THE TIME TO DO THE WHOLE VIDEO THROUGH OUT THE DAY TO GET IN YOUR WORK OUT.
Let's Party!!! Excellent product. I had lost 52 pounds on the Sweatin to the Oldies program. The only this is they are great aerobics program; you might have to include sit ups or push ups with the program. Even though I lost alot of weight I wasn't very tight and tone. However Richard Simmons always delivers with a fun and effective weight loss program.
Fabulous! Richard Simmon has won my heart with his infectious enthusiasm for fun exercise! When I put on "Sweatin' to the Oldies", I can't help but sing and dance. It sure helps me get in my 10,000 steps a day!!
jjcheyenne I finally found exercise I can do! I have a bad knee and am not able to do a lot of walking. I have trouble losing weight since I have a hard time doing any exercise. But, I am able to do this. Just not any knee bends. Richard makes it fun with the great oldies songs and I really like the people in it. They are REAL people, not the Hollywood actresses and actors who look like skinny models. They are real people like me and are obviosly having a good time. This video is great for people just starting out or, like me, who have physical limitations.
I love Richard This tape is very easy... He does reps of 2, 4, or 8. Very easy to follow. He doesn't give much instruction, but after you do it a few times you can practically do it with your eyes closed. If I feel like I'm not getting enough from it, i do things a little faster, and at times do the tape twice. And after that I take my son for a walk and do some sit ups. Just waiting for the next video to come in the mail. So far I have lost 12 pounds and it has only been 2 weeks. I highly recommend this tape for someone who is just starting to work out or someone who doesn't like to work out!!!
