Product was ordered on Jan. 31 and was due to be received by Febr. 24th. Today is Mar. 3rd and it still hasn't arrived. Seller has NOT responded to 2 e-mails despite seller reviews of MANY 5 star ratings. Now, I suppose I have to apply to get my money back as I've already paid the credit card where bill was applied. Needless to say, I've lost my trust in this sort of mail order product!

My favorite workout

2/12/2009

This is a workout I loved doing through high school and I don't really enjoy working out. I wish I had stuck with it throughout my whole life. Jane is great and encouraging and you get a great workout. This is mostly floor work with a small amount of aerobics. The early 80's Jane tapes are my favorites, before the outfits and hair got so distracting!. Makes me want to find some legwarmers and work out! I've gotten 4 of her old ones now and I really enjoy them.

2nd time around

2/8/2009

I worked out to this very video at least 2 decades ago and committed myself to it 3 days a week for 6 months, determined to keep up with these skinny, leotard wearing contortionists. While not believing anyone could actually do it, I did! I also found I had transformed my body into a leaner, more flexible me. Now, I am trying it again at the age of 50. I once again find this group of exercise-aholics a little freakish, I know this video works. Although after using several, more modern exercise gurus techniques, I do wish Jane had used weights for some of the exercises. But I've discovered that she seemed to have been in the forefront on some exercises that other's now use. Keep with it, it does work and works every major area. You definitely will see results in your hips, waist and thighs. Just give it time.

This video has a bad spot about 2-3 minutes into the tape. Have contacted both amazon.com and fruitabooks but have not recieved any refund.

The Original

6/1/2008

This is the original workout that will give you results, all others are followers. I remember when this was sold on vinyl or album, text book and VHS. I remember going to exercise class when our instructor would plug in the record player and play the album format. This is the best workout to date. I got results back when it was introduced in 1982 and now that I finally found a copy (unfortunately it is not sold on DVD) and started using it again I have achieved the same results. I would recommend this tape to anyone who does not like working out on machines all day or evening at the gym. If you do the advance workout at least 3 to 4 times a week along with low impact aerobic exercise you can achieve the results of a nice lean sculpted body along with good eating habits.
