My DVD purchase by Deborah Boring (Ohio, USA) 4 Stars

I was not sure if I would like this dvd or not, but I really enjoyed working out to it.

Disappointed by lack of 'instruction' by Amanda D. (New Jersey) 3 Stars
January 16, 2010
I was really looking forward to getting this, and am pretty disappointed. There is basically no intro, no instructions or time allowed for you to get the steps down. I haven't done alot of workout videos, so that's why i figured I'd go w/ Richard Simmons'. The DVD jumps right into a routine without any breakdown of the steps at all, so you don't even know what's coming next. I guess you're just supposed to flounder until you get them down. Also, the warm-up isn't until after the 1st routine which seemed a little off to me... It did get me to work up a sweat, but It frustrated me more than anything since I could barely keep up with the routine changes. You also need quite a bit of room to do the steps, so my living room was barely adequate. I'll try it again of course, but if you are uncoordinated and need something with step by step instructions, then this might not work for you.

love this workout by Katie Gal (Middle of Pennsylvania) 5 Stars

I love doing this workout! The whole thing is like 50 mintues and I was surprised to see that there is an ab workout at the end. I like doing workout dvds at home and this was my first "dance" one. The moves are very easy, after 2 or 3 times you remember the order of everything. You don't need a whole lot of space to do it. Richard Simmons is cheesy but motivating. haha After the holidays I definitely plan on buying more.

Fun Workout by Greg (Nashville, TN USA) 5 Stars

This is a fun workout that almost lets you forget how hard you are working. The success stories at the end of the video are really inspiring.

No challenge. by Sheryl L. Burleson (San Angelo, TX) 2 Stars
October 15, 2009
I ordered this video because I wanted some variety in my workouts. I thought disco would be fun, and I know it's very aerobic. I never had a Richard Simmons video before. I was really disappointed. I pictured myself dancing to some good disco. I even checked out the songs in the photograph on Amazon. Good songs. Unfortunately, you can't hear them for all the yak-yak he makes. I don't care for group videos, prefer personalized instruction - should have realized. All that notwithstanding, I could have lived with the video if it had made me sweat. No challenge at all. I'm not in that great of shape, but I can do much, much more than this. Maybe for people who are seriously overweight and need a place to start, to get them motivated, this video would be perfect, but it didn't do anything for me. The only thing about it that I would recommend is the abs section at the very end. But that's just because my abs are so out of shape that I have no endurance. They're just crunches, but they keep coming at you fast and furious. However, I can get equal or more ab work from other videos that I own, so my final take on this one is, "Pass it by!"
