5.0 out of 5 stars Can't be exercise, it's fun!, Jun 21 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Jane Fonda's Workout - Low Impact Aerobics (1986) (VHS Tape)

Exercise has always been a dreaded word around me; until recently when I failed a stress test at 45 years old. I knew I had to do something. High impact aerobics always results in shin splints on me, so I was looking for something that would give me a good cardiovascular work-out, hold my interest, and not cause stress injuries.

This tape was heaven sent! I didn't think I'd be able to keep up with a 50 minute tape, but within a couple days I was keeping pace. I do it 5 days a week and have noticed a tremendous improvment in my pulse rate. It's a lot of fun. If you can get beyond the class clown, (which is pretty easy to do) you can find yourself dancing your way to a fit condition with a smile on your face. I recommend this tape to anyone who, like me, never thought they could actually look forward to exercise.

3.0 out of 5 stars too corny, Aug 18 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Jane Fonda's Workout - Low Impact Aerobics (1986) (VHS Tape)

This video is composed of 6 mins. warm up, 35 mins. aerobics, and 10 mins. cool down.
Overall, I found this workout to be too corny. By reading the reviews, I thought I could get past it. I did a good job except when I got to the "hoe-down" part. You do this weird hobo looking move and you have to clap twice everytime with the music. I did the move, but didn't clap.
There was also this weird man who was purposely trying to be dorky. He was supposedly the "new" guy in class.
Anyway, I found the workout to be okay. I'm really out of shape so I was really sweating by the middle of the workout.
Maybe it's because I'm not really into aerobic workouts, but I only gave this video 3 stars because it recycled the moves alot. There was variation in the beginning, but the same moves get used later with a different song, and yet again with another different song.
Jane's cues were okay. I didn't get how to do some moves the first time, but pretty much knew them by the third time. However, sometimes she misses cues. For example, when you do the grapevine, she doesn't tell you whether to kick or heel everytime; instead, she just nods her head and smiles at you, as if you're supposed to just know.
Overall, I give this video a C+

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best low impact but fat burning workout!, Aug 16 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Jane Fonda's Workout - Low Impact Aerobics (1986) (VHS Tape)

This is the best workout for people who want to lose weight, feel good and want a workout that works! Remember consistency is important. This workout helps you workout without straining your muscles. You like it so much that you want to do the workout 4-5 times a week. This in turn helps you lose weight. I lost the weight I added on after I had my baby. I love it.
