The original Jane Fonda workout is still the best and easiest to follow. It works! It would really be a great service if it was on DVD. Hurry up!

This is one of the best and complex workouts on the market. First, let me tell you I am not really into weight -lifting , MTV workouts, or boot camps . NOt to mention kick-boxing or power workouts . I am a female, not a boxer, not a gang-member and I don't intend to be. I'm not in it for big, bulky muscles, you can consider me old-fashioned - but long, lean , fat-free muscles and some grace is all I am asking for. I've tried numerous workouts: tae-bo, yoga, and Denise Austin ( the Sizzler is the only one I recommend for toning), but none is able to achieve what this 80's VHS is able to do for me : flexibility, grace, and a total body workout that you will feel in your entire body for the next few days after .....
I am not going to talk about the beginners workout since it is really easy and it is all contained into the Advanced Workout ; the Advanced Workout is divided into 6 different sections : warm-up, arms, abs, thighs, buttocks and cool-down. All of them are killers.Even the warm-up , which involves a lot of stretching. The movements are repetitive and hard-to-follow but if you can get over this and if you understand that a good workout is not about entertainment or about modern , trendy hair-do's, then you're on the right track. The purpose of it is toning/stretching and not weight-loss, so I am adding the cardio portion from JAne Fonda- the Challenge before the video for fat-burning. I have also noticed that my muscles respond better with some cardio added upfront. I just wish this workout had a cardio part as well, but what the heck we're all still in the search of the perfect workout ....
I consider myself at an intermediate-advanced level (since I can do the Jane Fonda -CHallenge Workout as well) , I am in my 30's but I still look like in my 20's even after a childbirth , and I think this is partly due to my healthy eating habits, partly due to the workouts I do with regularity .Even though I am continuously buying other workout DVDs to keep myself motivated or to break the routine , I always come back to this one for a complete body workout. I definitely recommend it. Too bad it is not on DVD.

The best workout ever!!!

I love this JF tape so much that when my old copy was no longer playable I ordered another one and will continue to do so. This tape is great for it's time and even better today. The exercise really do tone and strech the body, giving me the longer slimmer look I love. It's tough, don't be fooled but worth it in the end I also found it to be a great stress reliever.
Too bad it's not on DVD.
