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 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.

Walk Away the Pounds 2-Pack: Super Fat Burning + Get Up and Get Started High Calorie Burn Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These workouts are awesome! You can't go wrong with them. They are easy to follow; no sudden moves, and you don't have to be super coordinated to do them. I never liked to do aerobics because I couldn't keep up, and I couldn't follow along. These workouts are simple but VERY effective!! There are four simple steps to each of the three workouts you get; kicks (not Taebo-type), side steps, knee lifts and kick backs. You don't need a huge living room, you are just marching in place with a little bit of traveling forward and back but if you don't have the room, you can continue to march in place. There are three different workouts; 1 mile, 2 miles, and 3 miles. She incorporates upper body work as well with her 2 pound balls. I use 5 pound dumbbells and it's challenging but not enough to make me quit midway. I always break a sweat about 10 minutes into any of the workouts. You don't have to use weights at all, though. There are a group of people who work out with Leslie and usually one of them is modifying for you. (they aren't all super skinny either, which is nice to see). Leslie is very explanatory while working out and you aren't caught off guard with sudden moves. She talks a bit much and her laugh gets annoying; she is very high energy. The people she works out with talk a lot too but it's ok; I'd rather see them be real than to see a bunch of robots working out. The faces they make when they don't realize they are on camera are hilarious!
With regard to her talking about "God" during her workouts is not offensive. She doesn't say the word "God". She says the word Heaven maybe twice, and she says to "count your blessings." Which I don't find offensive. She doesn't go on and on about religion.
You can do the 2 mile walk in 30 minutes and the 3 mile walk in 49 minutes, I believe. I started with the two miles and did that for a few days before moving on to the 3 mile. Now I alternate according to the amount of time I have. YOu can make the 2 mile just as intense as the 3 mile walk if you add more weights or squat when you are doing the side steps.
It has been highly effective for me. I started dieting on the first of October, doing just ab workouts. I did that until the 19th of October when I incorporated cardio, some light weight training and also some bun/thigh work. I have lost 13 pounds total and 2 pants sizes; going from a 14 to a size 10 in less than a month and a half! I have seen quicker results doing these workouts than I did walking around the block, which gets rather boring after awhile. I love that I can workout anytime I want and I don't have any excuses not to. Rain or shine, I can workout! I highly recommend these workouts! I am more motivated, more energized and happier than I have ever been with ANY other workout!

Start Up with Jane Fonda Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Start Up With Jane Fonda", may be nearing 20 years old, it may make you laugh at the hair and wardrobe selections, but this 25 minute gentle workout has beaucoup benefits still.
Essential for beginners, it will also be nice back to basics for those that need to regroup and start anew. I have worked out every day for years, and I still find this one to have it's rewards. It's 25 minutes of an all over light workout. Warming up your body, stretching,concentrating on isolated movements for arms, hips, buttocks and abs,and using your own resistance to help you get back in shape and slim down while you are at it.Even your back and neck will feel the benefits. There's no jumping or aerobics, nothing too complicated,no weights, just basic moves that will help you look and feel good. The stretches will help you slim down, the isolated muscle movements, and flexes will help you on your way to getting toned, stronger,you'll improve balance, and maybe a bit more flexible with each session. You will also get a very nice ab work-out that is not too strenuous.
Jane Fonda is always an excellent instructor. She will guide you every step of the way. Always reminding you of proper posture, to listen to your body, breathe and go at your own pace. These are the basics, and this is helpful advice has not changed over 20 years. It's all important, to getting the most out of your workout without pushing yourself too hard, and without injury.
There are both men and women in the class. The music is classic and light, and sometimes ballet like.You don't need any special equipment, not even sneakers or shoes, but you may want to use a mat, for the floor exercises(abs and legs), or at least a folded towel or blanket to cushion yourself with.At the end of the tape Jane goes over some of her other video workouts.
Recommended for anyone needing to get back to basics, or anytime you need to de-stress(it's wonderful for this). Would also make a nice warm-up, or even a cool down for intermediate and advanced. Of course you should always watch a workout through before attempting, and check with your Doctor if there are any sort of physical limitations.If you see this available from a seller in grab it up, you never know when you may need it. Looks like you can practically get it for the price of the shipping right now!
Remember to breathe, eat healthy, and enjoy.....Laurie

A 25-minue light exercise routine that is more than a warm-up and less than a full workout. Light to moderate toning of the arms, legs, hips, buttocks and abs. This exercise routine has been designed to increase body awareness, flexibility, balance and good posture. START Up can help you wake up in the morning or relax in the evening

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!

Jane Fonda: Prime Time - Fit & Strong Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This video I picked up from Target the other day. It was so good to see Jane Fonda on store shelves again! She is my absolute favorite fitness instructor. I've been working out with Jane since I was a teen. Before that I used to watch my mom exercise to her on VHS. When I was a teenager her instructions of how to safely and properly exercise sunk into my mind, thus instilling lasting discipline between my mind & body. So few people know about safe and proper body alignment. I will always be grateful to Jane for re-enforcing again and again with each video of hers how crucial it is to properly perform the exercise.
In her newest video Jane is true to her style of looking out for us here at home who are trying to follow her lead. She is very considerate and compassionate. Jane has a soothing voice and really looks after the viewer. This is especially important since this video is more geared toward older folks. I am young but out of shape. I wanted something gentle and non-intimidating which would keep me moving on a day when I don't want to move. This video has delivered what I was looking for. If you are super-fit and aerobic you probably won't like this video.
Things happen in life. People get sick, develop illnesses or injuries, give birth, get off of track for whatever reason, let themselves go...This is a video for people going through life who want to keep moving, want to be encouraged to care for themselves. We won't always being doing kick-boxing, advanced aerobics or such high-impact exercise through our entire life. Real people need something else to fall back on when their energy is low or the pace of life has changed for whatever reason. This video works for that purpose.
The introduction before level 1, to my surprise made me cry. I could 100% relate with what Jane was saying about being out of touch with the body. It felt good to sit with Jane and tune in to my body and appreciate it.
For those curious, yes Jane looks wonderful! She is lean and fit and has a better physique than many young people have. You can tell she has taken good care of herself. Her muscles are well developed & shapely. Her limbs are long and lean. More than that she seems peaceful, composed, calm. Her demeanor lends me a sense of calm which I can use after a crazy day of running around.

Jane Fonda: Prime Time - Walkout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying I am a big fan of Jane and love her earlier workouts. I am a little disappointed in this new one: Jane doesn't always keep time to the music, the music itself is very bland and Jane does not cue well. What I do like about this workout is that there is a nice variety of steps, a good stretch at the end of the workout and Jane incorporates a lot of arm movements during the walk. If you are a fan of Leslie Sansone's workouts, you might find the pace of this one a little slow (even the second walk on the DVD which is supposed to be a little faster isn't very fast). Not all workouts are for everybody, though. If you are a beginner or a senior looking for a more gentle workout, this may work just fine for you. And I have to add that Jane looks terrific!

I've always been a huge believer in walking to stay slim and healthy. Walking burns a lot of calories and slims the waistline, while also improving brain function and increasing both your heart and lung health. This DVD includes two one-mile walking workouts that are simple, fun and fat-burning. Stick with me and do this Walkout regularly – you will be healthier and feel energized! Remember, it's never too late to start.
