 Memory Lane January 4, 2009
I really like Richard Simmons - his quirky upbeat personailty is alot of fun and his video workouts are classics in every sense of his word. It is difficult not to get up for working out when he is on the screen chattering and doing his routines.
This collection of discs is a great value with many different workouts between them and they are all set to some great classic music which sets the tone for each exercise nicely. You will often find yourself singing along to some songs you did not know you knew.
You will be up and dancing and ultimately get a good workout which you will feel. Richard may not be for everyone, but if you give him a chance and just enjoy what is going on with his upbeat persona you will find yourself getting into shape and not even realize it because it is so much fun - theroutines fly by.
love him? hate him? You'll love the cd either way! Great, fun, workout! December 28, 2008
I had heard Richard Simmons squeel and motivare on tv and radio. I pictured a workout dvd by him to be something of the same and wouldn't have dreamed I'd own won because of it, ,much less the whole collection! However, I kept reading the accolades on Amazon and it didnt seem to be just a workout for those really out of shape...it seemed to be a workout for both beginners and daily fitness buffs and the word "fun" was used quite a bit. So I tried it. Wow! Now I get why he's still on radio and tv as a fitness guru 20 years after his debut. (or more)
I can't believe I was enjoying myself so much during a workout that I found myself grinning from ear to ear...and my heart rate stayed in the target zone, burning great calories.
Whats different? Several things...while most fitness dvds are set to instrumental music that sounds, I'm sorry, like bad instrumental porn music, they actually paid the royalties to use REAL songs with words and music you know. That is a tremendous boost even if you arent into the "oldies" (as Im not...I still loved it) and he has a live band playing and real people all doing the workout.
visually, this gives you so much to look at that you never get bored no matter how often you do it. The multitude of people, shapes and personalities, and the live band, as well as other visual bonuses he adds such as Elvis dancing out onto the set, a motorcycle rider riding onto the set, etc
Physically, the moves are fun, he cues very well, you never get lost in the steps even though you wind up "dancing". I have found other fitness dance dvds to leave me confused and out of step and frustrated and feeling like a need a degree in dance. Not true for Richard's dvds...they are simple aerobic moves put together so that they have the movement and feel that you are just having fun dancing while you are doing great cardio.
Time flies on these dvds!! He is motivating, fun, energetic, and these dvds are truly unique in any collection. They are a great workout but a fun workout that anyone can do...from beginner to athlete...and still get exactly what you want out of it.
I can't believe I'm saying it, but i'm now a true fan He is a household name for a reason. Good, fun, workout with maximum results! And easy to amp up or amp down as you wish
 Fun December 21, 2008
I've only done the first one so far but it seems to be a fairly simple workout that anyone can probably do. I have lower back problems and some of the movements seem to agravate it but if I'm careful and don't overdo it I'm fine. I really like that there are people of all sizes on the video doing the routine.
Richard Simmons dvd's December 16, 2008
I really love the Richard Simmon's dvd's I received. The only thing thing that bothers me is that 2 of the dvd's have skips throughout them. But, the ones that do play all the way through are great. My thought with the problem with the 2 dvd's are they're not the ones I would play all the time anyway. So, I'm keeping them. The ones I worked out with for 2 weeks.... I lost 10 lbs. Yay!
Thank you so much.

 Unahappy Customer December 16, 2008

When you abide by all the rules and the seller fails to respond or responds to late. That leaves the customer unhappy. What i am referring to is simple. I changed my address on the account...contacted the seller within minutes after the change and never heard a word. I let 4 days go by and sent another letter to the seller in which they replied they never received the first letter...hummmmmmm....same e-mail address...go figure..so they contacted the shipper and it was to late to change the address as the product had already been shipped out...so now i am unhappy because i lost the money i paid....i have no product and basically am told tough, they have to wait for the return...well, my question is this ! What if someone from the old place i lived got the package and aren't kind enough to return it? There ya go....I am the unfortunate one who has to suffer the consequences...I do not recommend using this seller. They should always check thier email account in the spam section and this could have been avoided immediately, I have all the emails saved. So , I hope the seller is kind enough to return my money and I will find somewhere else to buy the product.
