Editorial Review:

video is former rental

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

Top flight service:

This was a simple item. I figured it might take a couple of weeks. A couple of days was the reality, in excellent condition as well. Would have no problem ordering again from this dealer.

Tape will not rewind, have to run it backwards, takes forever:

It came promptly and it plays fine, but it will not rewind, just sits there. Have to put it into play mode, reverse and it takes a very long time to get back to the beginning of the tape.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this video!!!:

This video brought back so many memories... I used to dance around to this as a teenager with my girlfriends! :)

Very enjoyable - great fun.:

I own three other in the series and I like to rotate them to keep my workouts interesting. Lots of fun and a good workout as well.
