I was hoping to replace my old VHS version with a DVD version. This one was different though. It was okay. Not as upbeat as I wanted. I think the key is the music that is played during the video. I’ll have to play it more and get used to it or maybe play different music as I watch. The movements were fine. My kids even exercised with me. When they got lost, we just kept moving. It was fun. They enjoyed it too.

This is a great low impact workout for those over 40 or with medical issues that won’t allow high-impact aerobics. It’s fun and easy for people not coordinated enough to do the dance moves required in some workout routines. While my husband won’t join me (he thinks it’s silly) it is fun especially for those who like oldies music. I find that the music lifts my spirits.

I wanted to try Sweatin to the Oldies (Vol.1). I thought it was kind of good, (just because it was new & different) but it was a little boring. I don’t think I’ll ever play it again, because I like a video with a little bit more action & movement…..that way I fell like I’m working out.

I’m back to trying to lose those pesky pounds that are creeping back. (I lost 50 pounds about three years ago). I was trying to find a fun video that emphasized more of a dancing approach with good music. I found it. It’s an absolute delight to fire up this DVD and start workin’ out with Richard Simmons. The music alone is enough to want to get my feet tapping and my body moving.
I’ve had great fun following the DVD and attempting all the dance steps. Fortunately I work out at home so no one sees me miss a step or heading in the wrong direction. I was always directionally inept.
Positive Pointers:
1) Upbeat music with a live band.
2) Inspirational as Richard Simmons makes working out a positive experience.
3) Featuring the dancers at the end of the segment. Both naturally thin people, and people who lost weight, are included in this exercise video. At the end they are all given credit. It is very inspirational to see someone who has lost 100 pounds using Richard Simmon’s work out plan.
4) Gentle work out that offers both a warm up and cool down session.
Negative Pointers:
1) I wish there was bit more explanation on how to perform a specific exercise. People who have never danced or attended an exercise class would benefit from more explanations on how to safely do some of the exercises shown.
