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

CherFitness: A New Attitude (1991) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I work out with step aerobic videos 4-7 days a week, and this one is one of my favorites. I save this video for the weekend or days off because it is very long (1 hour and 22 minutes), but it is worth the time. The first segment is the step workout that lasts about 38 minutes. It has a long warmup and a very fun step routine. Cher and the gang obviously had a blast filming this workout, and it rubs off on the viewer. The music used is also cool ("Missionary Man" by the Eurythmics, "All Right Now" by Free, etc.) The cool down is very short, however. You do a few lunges and stretches and that's it. If you do the entire video though (which I would recommend), you get a better cool down at the end. The step workout is at an intermediate level. Nothing too fancy and only a few power moves which are optional (of course, the user can always add propulsion).
The second segment is a ten-minute ab workout. On many aerobics videos, additional ab routines are very short (maybe 3 or 4 sets at 8 reps each). This ab workout is ten minutes non-stop with very tiny pulses. One of the best ab routines I've found.
The final segment is by far the toughest. It is 32 minutes of leg toning. Squats, lunges, leg raises, you name it. The first part of this segment is the most challenging. You will feel the burn big time! Once you get to the leg raises, it gets much easier but still challenging. The last part isolates the inner thighs. Instructor Keli Roberts does an excellent job explaining proper body alignment for each of the moves. Finally, there is a cool-down stretch (you'll need it). Cher is there through the whole video and adds her own comments during some of the segments. New Attitude gives you an all-around, full body workout!
