How to be a Pinup Model - Release your Inner Bombshell Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Keeping in mind this is pure-retro, I loved how meandering the pace was. It's not mtv-flash editing. It's, honestly, very fifties. Makeup, hair, and cheesecake-posing; exactly what the video promises. I loved the hairstyle secion the most. They do an entire hair set, and then when she is combing the set out, it's real-time and I got the sense of the fifties, no cellphones, no rush, pretty night-table, sweet smiles. I felt like I was at a sleep-over and we were doing our hair in Grease. I adored the big hair-rolls they demo'd. These two women fully embrace the fifties lifestyle. And they portray a sexy-lady without apology. The make-up section was a bit long in the tooth, but great for beginners. The posing section was really nice and encouraging too. It's very girls-night-out-with-class and the production value, tho simple, was just right; great, authentic 50s set-dressing, good audio, and most of all inspirational. If you like the fifties and want to try your hand (gams?) at cheesecake photos, or even just want to investigate the fifties look - and outlook - this is a comforting, stylish & feminine place to get started.

Workout: Starring Jane Fonda Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before Jane Fonda got America to its feet with exercise-in-your- home videotape series, the only serious participants were dancers, athletes or the very experienced exercisers.
In this video, her core exercise group seems to be those very fit and trim people who had exercised to sustain their body for their profession.
It is very clear to say that Jane Fonda's early videos, like this one, Complete Workout, Easy Workout, Prime Time Fitness, Workout With Weights, and the tough Jane Fonda Challenge Workout are all very good workouts. These were done prior to the massive surge of competition that flooded the market, where everybody sold an exercise video.
Hence, Fonda's later videos suffered in quality! Those being: Lean Routine, Step Workout, Lower Body Solution, etc.
The Baby of 'em All
This 1982 classic video is the baby of 'em all. The video comes in two sections, Beginners - 30 minutes and Advanced - 60 minutes.
In her warm-up, she even does jumping jacks also with great stretching routines, and you will see movements that today's exercise gurus don't do anymore. If you are new to exercising, you will feel the pain.
The basis of this workout is certain repetitive movements that focus on single muscle groups against the resistence of your own body weight.
Fonda works with every part of the body, from deep stretching to great waist work, grueling crunches, tendon stretches and serious deep lunges. She uses repetitive counts for each segment. At times, her voice overdubs the program to give advice and offer proper techniques while working out.
This is a tough workout, and if you are serious for strenuous workouts, and if you desire to improving your fitness regime, do this workout. And get the companion book "Jane Fonda Workout Book"
Then, try the Jane Fonda Challenge Workout, it has a very challenging aerobic section that is even tougher. .....Rizzo
