Amazon.com: This 50-minute low-impact aerobic workout is vintage Jane Fonda--literally! It consists of excerpts from routines from four earlier Jane Fonda videos: Stress Reduction, Lean Routine (where Jane is dressed in a lacy black fishnet-type unitard and little black boots), Low Impact (blue sequined leotard and blue legwarmers--remember those?), and Complete Workout. If you're easily bored, this constantly changing variety will keep you moving. The class participants are also varied--all dress differently and feel free to express their personalities. As always, if Fonda does a high-impact move, another class participant shows modifications. At the end, Fonda gives a 15-minute talk about how to eat and cook. Although this is an older video, it shows you why Jane Fonda became a major fitness celebrity and a workout-video trendsetter. Her workouts are fun and lively, and the production quality is high. --Joan Price

Rating: - Jane Fonda VHS Tape
This old VHS tape was in great shape. My step mother loves working out to it. It also arrived in a timely fashion.
Rating: - Tried and True Workout now on DVD!
Yes, it is a little scary looking at those leopard-print leotards and all that big, big hair, but don't let that put you off. This is a fun, easy-to-follow workout which combines some of the best routines from a bunch of Jane's videos. If you are a relatively experienced exerciser (as I am), you will not be wiped out by the end of this: you will be exercising at a comfortable pace and burning that fat away. If you are more of a beginner, there are always modifications to help you keep up.
The stretching section is thorough but not interminably long. As for the last section on diet ... Read More
Rating: - Great for people that don't like to exercise
This is a really fun workout video. It has a lot of variety and takes several times to get the steps down, but it's not so complicated that you feel like you'll never catch on. I'm 16, and I think it's cool to step back in time for 50 minutes and see the "old school" outfits and watch Jane Fonda's perky crew. If you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll have fun with this one. I wouldn't recommend it for the advanced exerciser. It's not so easy that I feel like I didn't do anything (I always need a shower afterwards), but it's not super challenging, either. It would be good for people that ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Low-Impact Workout
I've owned this for many years. Just took it out, tried it again and realized Jane Fonda's creation, as well as her sound advice as an aerobics professional,stands the test of time. This is a compilation of a number of her workouts, seamlessly put together for a fat-burning 40-50 minutes of aerobics and stretching. Her nutritional info at the end is solid although not currently "in vogue". This video was made at a time when fitness participants were encouraged to look like they were enjoying the workout- what a breath of fresh air! Personally, I don't get off on working out with the 'testosterone ... Read More

I really like this workout, that's why I wanted to buy a DVD version, but I see there isn't one. It does work.
