Fun and Easy to Follow

Not to contradict the prior reviewer, but after fumbling through the typical first run-through of any new exercise video, I found this one fairly easy to follow.

As with all the other Richard Simmons videos I've done, this one is fun, set to contagious great music that makes you want to move, the exercisers all appear to be having a genuinely good time and Richard Simmons is his usual energetic, motivational and funny self. In typical fashion, Richard uses names for the moves that are both descriptive and make me laugh - one sequence in particular from this one is a scream - "dance" (as if you're being lead in a tango), "hug" (arms wrapped around yourself) and "hair" (arm bent at elbow and moved from front of head to back) - who else but Richard Simmons?

The 40 minutes is comprised of a warm up/workout/cool down that runs about 30 minutes, followed by a toning portion using wrist weights that lasts about 10 minutes. The moves are easy to do and can be performed at whatever amount of intensity or energy that fits your level of fitness - you can turn it up or down to meet your needs.

After years of being an inconsistent exerciser, I decided to give it one more try and started using a Richard Simmons tape (Sweat & Tone, which I highly recommend for toning) and got hooked. For the first time in my life, I actually look forward to exercising, have lost weight (am dieting too), and feel so much better and more energetic! I'm in the process of buying every Simmons video/DVD I can get. In all honesty, I never took him seriously until I did one of his tapes and my only regret is that I didn't wise up sooner.

Great (but slightly complicated) workout!

I bought this together with Latin Blast-Off, and this is definitely much better than the Latin one. I especially like the toning session at the end. It uses cool weights, so you might need to buy them if they don't come with your video. A few cautions: if you are not good at following slightly intricate workouts, this is not the tape for you. I am usually very good at that, but this tape took me several viewings before I was doing every single move right. Also, I don't especially love the way the tape was edited. It made me think the editor was just trying to show off. The angles don't make much sense for a workout video. They will start a new step, and the video will focus on someone's face or something. You won't be able to see what the footwork is until later. Still, the workout is great, so I didn't give it less stars!
