Jane Fonda's New Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jane Fonda's early videos were made with quality; they were lengthy and featured a strenuous workout that many exercise leaders today skip. However, with a need to compete with exercising models, tv queens, and every Joe Blow making exercise videos, the quality of her later video workouts, too, declined.

This 1985 90-minute tape features TWO workouts in ONE. The tape consists of a 35-minute BEGINNER'S with 12 minutes of aerobics. The 55 minute ADVANCED has 16 minutes of aerobics. You can choose to do this on alternate days if you are at the advanced stage. But the BEGINNER'S section is for beginners with at least some physical endurance or stamina.
What I prefer on this tape is the inclusion of toning and stretching all body parts. The warm-ups include neck, shoulder, arm streching including toe raises, tenson stretches, and including stretching the waist. Usually the newer exercise gurus don't include extensive warmup streching that Fonda does.
The floor work is tough, with leg lefts, that concentrate on toning the back and thighs. Stomach crunches are intense isolated movements that strengthen and tighten the hips and butt.
Once you master this, try the most difficult late 70's Jane Fonda tape ever, "The Jane Fonda Challenge." I have never done anybody's tape that is more vigorous than this.
If you are searching for quality workout tapes, stick with Jane Fonda EARLY tapes like this one, the "New Workout". You will work hard and you won't even notice the "leg warmers"......MzRizz

Jane Fonda Collection: The Complete Workout & Stress Reduction Program Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I worked out for lunch in the breakroom today, a new coworker came in to heat up her meal and started doing grapevines with me. "Can I join you tomorrow?" she asked. "This is so fun!" Yep, I was doing _Complete Workout_.
I have relied on VHS and DVD workouts to keep me in shape for over ten years, but long before I got my first VCR, I had read Jane Fonda's workout book and was doing her workout from a cassette with my friends. Jane was pretty revolutionary back then, telling us that it was OK to be strong and healthy and that not everyone was going to fit into some cookie-cutter mold. Good advice today, too, if you ask me.
These two workout programs are two of my favourites! _The Complete Workout_ gives you an arm workout with weights, then about half an hour of lively and varied aerobics. There are different instructors to show different levels of impact/effort. The last section gives you a good leg workout. There is nothing weird or hard here, just simple fun with a certain amount of effort involved. Jame shows lots of variations and she gives useful tips for effectiveness and safety in the arm and leg toning sections. I have been doing this program off and on for years.
The _Stress Reduction Program_ gives you about 20 minutes of super-simple aerobics. This is the one I go for when I say, "I'm too tired. I don't feel like working out today." I tell myself I'll just do the first song. But I have never not finished the 20 minutes. After the aerobics, there's a stretching section that lasts 15 to 20 minutes. It is very relaxing and Jane gives very detailed instruction about what the stretch is supposed to do and how it is supposed to feel. She provides modifications, too. I personally never use the last session, in which Jane does a guided relaxation exercise, although the techniques presented therein I have found useful.
Back when I first began working out, I didn't particularly care about Jane's past or her personal opinions, except as they were related to health and fitness, nor do I now. I am glad the videos are being turned into DVD's. It makes it a lot more convenient and easy to work out with Jane!
