Time Saver:

This a great workout if you have limited time. It is fun, easy to learn, and you can get your exercise in for a time investment of only 1/2 hour!

A few problems...:

This is a typical Richard Simmons exercise routine but this tape has a couple of problems. The camera work is done so that sometimes you can't see the next step or move needed until Richard and crew are well into it. This is because the camera is aimed elsewhere. Also where other Simmons tapes have small breaks between songs, this is edited so that when one is finished you immediately go into the next.
It does provide a nice 30 minutes exercise session but you have to be on your toes to follow it all.

I was disappointed:

I have many of the Sweating tapes and looked forward to another exciting one. This was only a half hour long and had only two familiar songs. I am used to seeing all song titles on the jacket which helps me decide. On the positive side, the exercise routines were good. My issue is the songs keep me going and there was nothing on this tape to keep my interest

Short blast-off:

Being a Richard Simmons fan for the past 20 years, I was a little surprised that this video was only 30 minutes. The workout did nothing for my upper body and there were a lot of steps that will take time to learn. The routine is familiar, so if you are new to Richard, you will have some problems keeping up. Of all of my videos, this is my least favorite. STILL, Richard makes you smile and the exercise is painless and entertaining. His first are the best, though!
