Jane Fonda's Easy Going Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This video is a total head to toe workout. Excellent for beginners; people with chronic illness who need to work out daily. This video is challenging yet doable. The class is helping me cope with fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue/myofacial pain syndrome. You too may find this a rewarding class. If you need a workout to help chronic illness try this one. I love it. thanks Jane...

Jane Fonda's Personal Trainer Series: Total Body Sculpting (1995) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this tape after a few months of doing Tae-bo exclusively. My muscles were SORE the day after. Which means that I had neglected them while doing Tae-bo. Now I've dropped the Tae-bo and do Jane Fonda's workouts exclusively. The moves remind me of Cindy Crawford's video. Most are really basic. Surprisingly, the back stretches are quite soothing to my achy back and has in fact strengthened my back muscles. No more back pains! After about 4 weeks, I've also noticed my arms getting leaner, not bulkier. The two alternating workouts are fast (about 20 minutes each) and basic, but it works! However, I only give 4 stars because the music is poor (don't even try to do the moves in time with the music) and overall the video is quite boring (no MTV-like sequences or exotic settings here). Nevertheless, the workouts are effective. Nice to alternate with something aerobic.

Jane Fonda's Workout Challenge (1988) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you can get through this entire 90-minute exercise tape in one session you can call yourself far, far above the average in physical fitness. I'll be honest: I still can't do it. I typically run through the first 40 minutes, (warmup, then arm strengthening, then a fun 20-minute aerobic dance routine), and then I'm too pooped to continue. So I'll save the remainder for the following day, (mainly calisthenics for the waist, abs, legs, hips and bum-- more or less in that order). And I still can't get through all the exercises in her abdominal sequence. But this is still one of my favorite exercise videos, mainly because the 20-minute aerobic section is a really fun routine, and also it's challenging. You never walk away from this one feeling you didn't work hard. (By the way, you don't even need hand weights for this video. It's a series of stand-up exercises and floor exercises, plus the aerobic routine. So you just need running shoes for the first section, and then maybe a mat for the floor if you don't have carpeting.)Jane is, as always, very clear and concise and never leaves you wondering what you're supposed to be doing next in any of the steps. The music is pretty good and it doesn't feel too old even after you've done the tape over and over, (know what I mean?) This video may be especially good for dancers trying to stay in shape because it includes a fair amount of flexibility stretching and even a sequence of exercises to improve your balance.

Jane Fonda's Complete Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review refers to the "Jane Fonda Complete Workout" VHS...
No matter what your age or fitness level, this is an excercise tape that can be beneficial to everyone. It is called the "Complete Workout"..and it is!
Jane takes you from a great warm up and upper body workout, through a fat burning aerobic session to a lower body strengthening and toning segment and finally a wonderful cooldown and stretch that will not only make you feel good about yourself, but just plain good!
The class is divided into three seperate segments. You can take your time and build up to doing all three or choose the ones that fit your needs the most. The first session is about 15 minutes of toning and sculpting the arms and also includes a little chest work as well(some push ups). You can start off with light weights and work your way up as you get stronger. Right afterwards there is a 35 minute aerobic class, which you can also adapt to your fitness level. She starts with a good warm up(the first time I did it, I thought the warm up WAS the aerobics session...was I in for a surprise!) and the class is generally divided into two groups you can follow. One is low impact and the other a combination of high and low impact).The music is fun and Jane, as in all the segments, talks you through and motivates you every step of the way. If your still standing, after this one you can move on to the lower body class. A very intense 20 minutes of lunges(done with or without weights), floor exercise and a little ab work(not alot, but like I said intense enough to feel it).Intermediate and advanced may add ankle weights to make the work out even harder.
You can adapt these sessions in any way you like. One day the upper body and aerobics, the next time, the aerobics and lower body. I like to use this tape about three times a week, and in combination with Jane's "Yoga Exercise Workout" once a week, I am seeing results, and seem to have alot more energy than before.
Although this tape was made more than a dozen years ago, it is still a good and effective workout. It is an excellent value for the price.

Jane Fonda's Low Impact Aerobic Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes, it's the '80s. Yes, the outfits are now hysterical (dig those leopard-print suspenders and big hair!). Yes, it's Jane Fonda, who has given up doing aerobics these days. But it's still the best low-impact workout I've ever found. As others have said, you've always got one foot on the ground, but you definitely get your heart rate up. The moves are fun. My favorite one is "chicken turns."
I prefer the enthusiasm and silliness to some of the more sterile video styles out there; it definitely doesn't detract from the workout. This definitely isn't the right video for you if you take yourself seriously, however.
It's about 35 minutes of aerobics and another 10 minutes of excellent warmup and cooldown; this tape has the best cooldown out there. I wish I could attach it to all my other workout videos.
As others have said, it covers a range of ability -- from beginner to intermediate. I'd say an advanced exerciser might find the video below their capabilities, even with added weights. But it definitely brings about results -- after doing this video for a few months, I visibly toned up and lost inches.

Karen Voight - Slim Physique (1998) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While this is an interesting concept, will it work for you?
Do you only have 30 minutes a day for a workout? Then, this might be a great solution. Karen has created a variety of mix 'n match workouts. All you do is select the day of the workout. If you are used to working out for an hour, you might have to combine two days.
Monday (Cardio & Lower Body Strength): This is an interesting combination of small cardio segments that seem to increase in intensity. You end the workout with a short floor routine and some stretches.
Tuesday (Yoga Strength): Karen shows you how to get the most out of each move. She will work your body into a finely tuned fitness machine. Compared to other 45-60 minute yoga workouts I have, this seemed to be a very quick workout for me, so adding 40 minutes of walking will take this to a new level. You can do the walking before the yoga and it will warm your muscles so you can go deeper into the stretches.
Wednesday (Cardio & Abdominal Strength): Aerobics workout in which you start with a warm-up routine, then move into more energetic moves. I thought the "bunny hops" were kinda cute. It is like using a jump rope without the rope. Karen is a bundle of high energy and takes you from simple moves to complex routines that not only challenge your body, you have to stay very aware and the footwork is very creative. The aerobics workout is followed by floor routines for abs. Some stretching at the end.
Thursday (Upper & Lower Body Strength): You start with the cardio workout and then work your way into using weights while standing. Lots of upper body work and then you go to the mat and continue working out your upper body. The cool down has some lower body stretches.
Friday (Abdominals & Yoga Stretch OR Yoga Strength): You start with Abdominals and have to get to you mat very quickly. In fact, you might want to be flat on your back with the remote in hand before you even start. Karen seems to be famous for jumping right into the workout, so this is something you have to be aware of. There is no explanation before each workout. The explanations are all during the workouts and the instruction is refined and you make the most of each move. The Yoga workout is on an oriental carpet and is quite a beautiful routine due to the carpet, the music and the lighting, wood floor, etc. This is my favorite section on the DVD. Karen's black cat-suit type outfit also sparkles. This section of the workout is sort of magical and relaxing. I'd like to see more workouts like this! An entire DVD of stretching routines would be bliss. (If you love this section of the workout, you might also enjoy YOGASCULPT.)
Saturday (Cardio & Upper Body Strength): Again, you start with an aerobics routine. You will notice the "swimming" from a workout she did with Elle Macpherson in "Your Personal Best." Karen definitely seems to have a lot of "signature moves" which make her routines easier to do in the long run. Your body knows how it is supposed to move and it is very satisfying to find moves you have learned in other Voight workouts. Karen is quite creative and always seems to be in a state of constant change because she makes up new moves in addition to the old ones, so you really have to focus. Her workouts are as much for the mind as the body. Cardio Circuit Energy Boost is followed by the weight workout you did on Thursday.
Sunday (Yoga Stretch): I started with this routine. It has a nice flow and there are plenty of creative poses. The stretches do seem designed for the very slim as there are some poses in which you literally twist yourself into a pretzel. Never fear, there are only a few of those poses and you can work your way to that level of flexibility.
Tools: hand weights, yoga mat, two blocks and optional foot stool.
Karen presents each workout in a no-nonsense style. She gets right to working out. So, have all your equipment ready to go. You won't have time to go find your yoga mat, weights or block once you start the workout. For the most part, the footwork wasn't too fancy, but there are a few times I just went back to walking until I could figure out the routine. If you are used to aerobic workouts and want a new challenge, Karen will give your mind a workout too. She has a friendly instruction style and a pleasant voice.
Karen Voight has always been an inspiration to me. Her workouts really motivate me. If you enjoy this workout, you might also want to try: Ultimate Circuit Training. It also has B.L.T. on a ball workout, so you don't have to buy the additional DVD.
"Sleek Physique" is a fun DVD to use every now and then for a complete week. It gives you a break from trying to figure out which workout you are supposed to be doing. Karen does the organizing for you. This is perfect to take with you on vacation so you don't get out of your workout routine.
This DVD has previews of other workouts and links to Karen's
website so you can purchase exercise equipment. Throughout this workout, Karen has a workout partner.

Power Abs Medicine Ball Workout with Gin Miller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"I was not impressed with the Power Abs Medicine Ball workout. I think I was overcharged for the video and I had to buy the medicine ball seperate. What I did not realize, was that my medicine ball came with a 24 minute workout that is awesome! The total cost of medical ball and workout video from Walmart was $11. It is way better than the Gin Miller's Power Abs workout DVD that I bought. I should have bought the ball first and not wasted my money on this DVD."

Click Here to see more reviews about: Power Abs Medicine Ball Workout with Gin Miller


Gin Miller's Power Abs Medicine Ball Workout introduces a new challenge in strength and conditioning with this dynamic workout. Designed to optimize benefits in cardio-respiratory fitness and reactive strength, this circuit interval format maximizes results in one time-efficient workout. This total-body workout alternates short bursts of easy-to-follow cardio (marches, jogs, runs and jacks) with integrated exercises that work multiple muscles groups all at the same time.

This program, specifically designed to improve overall fitness conditioning, adds a new variable in resistance training with the addition of light to moderate medicine balls. Adding the dynamics of medicine balls not only improves strength, coordination and balance, but also targets all the muscles of the core. This type of reactive training leads to better posture and every-day function - and a firmer, tighter mid-section.

Total Workout Time - 36 minutes

Mix & Match Menu - direct select specific exercises

Novice - less than or up to 4lbs Beginner - less than or up to 6lbs Intermediate - less than or up to Advanced - less than or up to 10lbs Elite Athlete - less than or up to 12lbs

*Due to the dynamic nature of this workout, exercisers should be pre-conditioned with a strong foundation in resistance exercise, balance training, and core stability. As with any new program or training mode, it is important to view the safety guidelines and watch the workout in its entirety prior to attempting these exercises. Anyone considering this type of training - including but not limited to pregnant women and especially those with a history of back, hip, spine or any other joint issues - should consult with their health care provider to determine if this program or training is appropriate for their fitness goals.

The Firm: Total Body - Body Sculpting Basics Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tape has already been thoroughly reviewed, but I can add a few thoughts. This workout IS incredibly difficult, and I too was ready to quit after my first attempt. But I stuck with it for 10 sessions. That was 1995. I'm now totally sold on The FIRM tapes and rotate through the 10 or 15 that I own.
To those who say they can't do it because of their bad knees, I'll add this: My physician actually recommended easing into lunges and squats to develop the muscles around my knees. I did experience pain when I started doing this workout. However, I fixed that by buying and wearing a pair of ACE neoprene (wet suit-like material) knee braces. They let me get through this incredibly effective workout. Susan Harris never fails to motivate me.
And finally, one FIRM believer said this and it's helped me on those "uuugggggggh-I-don't-want-to-do-this" days: Every workout is like a coat of paint. One coat may not be noticeable, but do one after another, and you eventually see a TOTAL TRANSFORMATION.
I'm now 37 and my "glutes" are higher and firmer than ever before, even at 16. If you want to look BETTER as you get older, want to be proud of your body, and want to be firm and fit, buy these tapes and stick with 'em. You'll be SO proud of yourself!!

10 Minute Solution - Workouts to Shape Up Your Whole Body (1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got the DVD a couple of days ago and I really like the mix and match format. However, if you need music for motivation, skip this one.
There are 5 different 10 minute segments as follows:
Boot Camp - Light cardio, squats, push ups, etc. Need dumbells and a chair. This is billed as the 'strength training' segment and it's quick, but good.
Pilates - I've never done pilates before so it could be a typical pilates workout, but I was suprised to find it was all ab work. Very tough - something for my weak stomach muscles to work up to! My husband who works his abs all the time said it was a good workout, but took some coordination.
Ballet - All barre work (chair). I took ballet as a kid and I loved this section. Great for legs & arms! The moves are not nearly as complicated as those in the NYC Ballet Workout.
Kickboxing - Least favorite part. Moves hard to follow and not very fun. Stick to Tae Bo.
Yoga - I've never taken Yoga before either, but I would consider this "relaxing". The stretches were wonderful. Great way to end the workout.
On an ongoing basis, I will probably do Boot Camp twice, Ballet twice, Pilates once and finish with Yoga to get a full hour workout. I was disappointed with the kickboxing section, but in general, The 10 Minute Solution delivers a solid workout with variety! It's also a great way to sample some of the different workout types out there. I'm excited to check out more yoga workouts and more mix-n-match DVD's.

Joel Harper's Fit Pack - Nine Short Workouts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For every person of limited means, time and space who has had to listen to someone tell them that they won't be able to get in shape unless they spend hundreds of dollars on gym memberships and/or large (or small) home equipment as well as devote over an hour per day- this is for you.
Fit Pack has nine different workouts that clock in at 30 minutes or under- for the most part, under. Included are workouts for Chest, Back, Shoulders, Abs (two of them), Legs, Buns/Glutes, Cardio and a Combo workout that has a little bit of everything. The only "equipment" required is a mat (which you could get away with not using for most of them) and sneakers for the Cardio workout. I really, really like the workout choices Harper made. If you've got something of a gym mentality, you can work your body parts by day, starting with maybe Chest on Day 1, Back on Day 2, Shoulders on Day 3, etc. without overworking your muscles (and since you're using your gravity and your body weight only, that would be unlikely in any case). Or if you're looking for a total body workout, you can use the Combo workout or combine some of the other workouts if you want a longer workout. It's very flexible.
Harper clearly has a yoga practice of his own. Many of the exercises, particularly for the upper body, have recognizable yoga postures and movements- some Down Dog variations for the Chest, Cat extensions for the back, and some tough Side Planks for the Shoulders. In addition to integrating yoga into calisthenics, he also adds some twists I've never seen before (and I've been using "the latest and greatest" at home for quite some time). I found many of his Leg exercises to be very innovative, particularly his take on the One-Legged Deadlift. That move is always a killer, but he found a way to make it that much harder.
The Chest, Back, Legs and Advanced Abs had me near tears. I'm a proud, stubborn person, but I dropped some of the reps on the pushups and a whole bunch on the Advanced Abs. Even with that, I have to say that the Advanced Abs was the hardest abdominal workout I have ever done. I have not felt that worked over- for days afterwards- since my very first Pilates class. Tough, tough, tough.
The Abs, Buns and Cardio workouts are shorter than the others, between 17/18 (Abs) and 6 (Cardio). I would recommend using those in combination or adding them onto the other, longer workouts (or just doing them on their own- as I said, the Abs are tough). The Buns workout is also pretty difficult; I felt that for about two days as well. Actually, the Chest workout is about the same length as the Abs, but I'd recommend treating that as a standalone workout that complements the Back workout, since it works your Chest pretty hard.
Here's hoping that this isn't the last we see of Harper and his no-equipment, no-time workouts. If there is a volume 2, I'd love to see: longer, lower-impact cardio (this one has a lot of jogging and high impact, and sometimes my downstairs neighbors just aren't as accommodating as they could be); a Combo 2; and a stretch routine (which, given the yoga, shouldn't be too hard). But in the meantime, this release should keep me plenty busy.

Prevention Fitness Systems Express Workout - Belly Butt & Thighs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice short, challenging, and effective workout. I liked the variety of exercises and that there was a good blend of cardio and floorwork. I found the thigh toning section using handweights to be particularly challenging. A good intermediate level toner for the lower body. The instructor was very good, although she was a bit off of the beat on the music from time to time.

The Science of Fitness with Tamilee - I Want That Body (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first bought this DVD because I liked that I got six workouts for the price of one DVD. As soon as I got it home, I tried session one of the Buns workout. I got through about 7 of the 15 minutes, and I had trouble sitting down for the next two days! But with practice, doing the workouts two or three times a week, it gets easier, you can get through the whole thing, and you'll definitely see the results.
As some other reviewers have said, the second Buns workout is almost easier than the first, and at least not as aerobic, but the Arms and Abs segments do have a more challenging Session Two. The Arms workouts gave me the fastest results, and while I've just started using the Abs sections (and let me tell you, it will be a while before I can get through the entire Session Two!) I can tell by the feeling in my abs the next day that it's doing its job.
The quality of the DVD and the instructor, Tamilee Webb, make it a workout you don't get tired of doing over and over. Tamilee is encouraging without being annoying or perky, the music isn't loud, the set is simple, and since it's only Tamilee doing the workout, students repeating the moves do not distract you.
The most important thing, though, is that these are truly effective workouts, most are simple enough to follow along with the first or second time around, and since each individual workout is only 15 minutes long, you can find time in your day to at least do one or two. This DVD, along with walking a few times a week and eating healthier foods, has helped me lose 16 pounds in the last few months. It's my favorite workout and I know I'll continue using it for a long time.

Urban Rebounding Workout DVD, Compilation 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this in the mail today. I've had a mini-trampoline for many years and have always loved messing around on it, but I'm the type of person who benefits from instruction. I am glad to see these workouts.
They tell you to use their Urban Rebounder, but my no-name model from Sears works fine. I don't know if I could add the stability bar on to it, but I don't think I'll need to use that.
I started at the beginning and did the first workout: First-Timers. It was so difficult I couldn't believe it. They slowed everything down so much that it was no fun and I was completely out of breath. I had to take jogging breaks to catch my breath. However, the First-Timers workout only needs to be gone through one time, if that. I think you can learn all the basics from the second workout: The Basic.
The Basic workout was really fun and up to tempo (unlike the First-Timers). It was exactly what I was hoping for: a good workout on the mini-tramp. It included a warm up, cardio section, jogging/sprinting section, cool down, and abs workout (which I thought was pretty tough). The moves were all basic but the warm up and cool down had some variety not included in the cardio section.
This disc includes 6 workouts, not four. They are: First-Timers, Basic Program, Intermediate, Advanced, Oldies But Goodies (for Seniors), and Abdominal Bound.
I haven't tried the other four yet, but the other reviewer covered the Advanced program and the fundamental outline of all the programs. I did look at the workout for seniors. The music for it is also very slow so I don't know if it will be a fun workout. It has a different instructor (JoJo) who is very interesting.
The main instructor, JB Berns, puts me in mind of the martial arts instructor from Napoleon Dynamite, but he's not that bad. He's actually kind of funny. He does take the name of the Lord in vain twice in First-Timers and once in Basic. I hope that will not continue into the other programs. You'd think someone would have told him . . . (unless they didn't want their face smashed?)
He mentions checking your heart rate one time, but gave no time to do so. I'm glad he mentioned it because I was so focused on the moves that I didn't realize how elevated my heart rate was. After that, I had to modify the moves myself to keep my heart rate down. They had five people on camera; you'd think one of them could have demonstrated some modifications.
Sometimes he gives good instructions on form, but other times none. He says, "use good form," but doesn't explicate. If you are a beginner you will need to learn about form from other fitness instructors (Karen Voight being the best I know of).
The demonstrators are all wearing gym shoes, so I wore mine. I tried the cool down barefoot because my feet were hot, but I think it's better to wear shoes for the workout.
I'd have to say that maybe this DVD only deserves three stars because of its weaknesses, but I gave it four because it's unique (are there any other rebounder DVDs out there?) and because it's a good value. You get six workouts on one disc.
There are other compilations too, with different instructors, including ballet, dance, pilates (core), African, Latin, kick, boxing, hip hop, hi-lo, and stretching. I'm looking forward to trying some of those.

Jane Fonda's Yoga Exercise Workout (1993) Review

(More customer reviews)This is the best video I've seen for a beginner to use for a great yoga-style workout. I cured my chronic lower back pain doing this workout 3 times a week! Jane is a wonderful teacher; she really pays attention to the all important details. It's not traditional yoga, but that's part of the charm for me. This workout goes much quicker than more traditional yoga tapes, which is great for those with limited time to work out!

Jane Fonda's Workout Challenge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 90-minute tape was initially designed for dancers, athletes and those with extensive exercise experience. Here, every inch of the body is put through a vigorous set.
ARM Workout: Begin with a thorough stretch, then six minutes of ARM workout, you can feel the shoulders burn. Six minutes never seemed so long.
The 20-minute AEROBIC section is excellent! During the aerobic section, she works out with two fit young men; the aerobic section is very high impact and deeply intense. While moving constantly, Jane provides easy steps, the cues are sufficient.
What is rarely included in any of today's workouts is a BALANCE section. Stand on one leg, raise it up and sway. This legwork is not easy and runs the length of about eight minutes.
The WAIST SECTION: Again, I have used many videotape programs for exercise, but rarely have I done a specific waist workout. It is indeed strenuous. Another eight minutes long. Eight minutes doesn't sound like a long time, but when you physically challenge your waistline to a grueling workout, it is a long time.
The last half-hour is the floor work starts with STOMACH CRUNCHES. This is probably the most difficult because she does what I know I can't do! For the average person who engages in a regular exercise program, if you can accomplish exactly what she does, I applaud you.
She proceeds to work on the LEGS. Simple leg work and inner thigh work consists of about 200 movements for one leg, then double that for both legs. You will move those legs up and down 400 times. Add another 200 moves for ROVERS (floor work on all fours, lifting leg up and out.)
The GLUTS (Butt work) is just over four minutes. She strains the gluts for approximately 200 times.
I will always come back to this this workout, just to show myself I can do it! Undoubtedly, the most challenging workout ever......MzRizz

Jane Fonda's Step Aerobic and Abdominal Workout (1992) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This workout video is divided into two parts. First there is
a 45-minute step aerobic section which includes a warm-up,
several different step combination featuring a rotation of
three instructors, a cool-down, and a short lower body stretching
segment. The second part is a ten-minute ab workout hosted by
Jane Fonda herself. The step workout is not difficult, in fact
it may be aimed more for beginners as the instructors often ask
the viewer to pay attention to their breathing and lessen their
movements if need be. I consider myself at a strong intermediate
level and work out with step videos 4-7 days a week. When adding
my own propulsion, I still feel I get a good workout with this
video. I like the rotating instructors (especially the cute guy,
I get tired of only watching women instructors on aerobics tapes).
I feel different instructors bring variety to the workout. The music also
changes with each rotation. Not the most hip music (this is
probably not a tape aimed at the young), but oh well.
The ab workout makes this video well worth seeking out. Fonda
does an excellent job explaining the moves, especially how to
breath during the crunches. I used to be confused on the correct
breathing procedure during abdominal crunches. Often, I would
unconsciously hold my breath. After using this video, I know
the correct breathing plus correct arm placement for all my
ab workouts!
