  Best exercise video to date August 13, 2007
I bought way back in 1982 and thought it was the best then.. had to find another copy as my original was so worn it jumped in places... good prices at Amazon and this has to be the best exercise tape for anyone - low impact and you actually can do the basic within two weeks I was overweight and along with this tape and diet lost 78lb in 4 months and toned up
This one works - it does what no other one can do! June 11, 2007

In my quest for a thinner me, I have followed all the roads to that elusive size 10. During all those year, the one exercise video tape that really worked is the Orignial Jane Fonda tape.
It is not fancy - but believe me it works. At this moment, I was stunned that I found another copy. I wore out the two I previously owned and, even with the age of cyberspace, have yet to find another one.
On January 7, 2004, I awoke to say - enough is enough - no more weighing
211 pounds. Today, June 10,2007, I awoke to make a decision about buying a particular dress and the only size the store had was a 6. Presently, I
wear a size 10 and with the help of Weight Watchers and my own determination weight 141 - or 70 lbs less.
The road was steep and long - but if you want it enough - you can do it!
Trust me, if the original cheesecake baby did it, anyone can and that I know that I once again have this workout tape - dress ahead.
Please believe me - this tape is better than good - it is a lifesaver.

Original is still the best!!! April 30, 2007
The original Jane Fonda workout is still the best and easiest to follow. It works! It would really be a great service if it was on DVD. Hurry up!
Baby boomers are waiting for this.

This is one of the best and complex workouts on the market. First, let me tell you I am not really into weight -lifting , MTV workouts, or boot camps . NOt to mention kick-boxing or power workouts . I am a female, not a boxer, not a gang-member and I don't intend to be. I'm not in it for big, bulky muscles, you can consider me old-fashioned - but long, lean , fat-free muscles and some grace is all I am asking for. I've tried numerous workouts: tae-bo, yoga, and Denise Austin ( the Sizzler is the only one I recommend for toning), but none is able to achieve what this 80's VHS is able to do for me : flexibility, grace, and a total body workout that you will feel in your entire body for the next few days after .....
I am not going to talk about the beginners workout since it is really easy and it is all contained into the Advanced Workout ; the Advanced Workout is divided into 6 different sections : warm-up, arms, abs, thighs, buttocks and cool-down. All of them are killers.Even the warm-up , which involves a lot of stretching. The movements are repetitive and hard-to-follow but if you can get over this and if you understand that a good workout is not about entertainment or about modern , trendy hair-do's, then you're on the right track. The purpose of it is toning/stretching and not weight-loss, so I am adding the cardio portion from JAne Fonda- the Challenge before the video for fat-burning. I have also noticed that my muscles respond better with some cardio added upfront. I just wish this workout had a cardio part as well, but what the heck we're all still in the search of the perfect workout ....
I consider myself at an intermediate-advanced level (since I can do the Jane Fonda -CHallenge Workout as well) , I am in my 30's but I still look like in my 20's even after a childbirth , and I think this is partly due to my healthy eating habits, partly due to the workouts I do with regularity .Even though I am continuously buying other workout DVDs to keep myself motivated or to break the routine , I always come back to this one for a complete body workout. I definitely recommend it. Too bad it is not on DVD.
