If you only own one exercise video, THIS ONE should be it!Jan 19, 2008
By Tim Think "Aerobics for Dummies." Richard gets you off the couch and inspires you like no one else can. This workout is truly fun. The live band is great, and such a refreshing change from the recorded 'sound-alike' tracks that are so commonplace today. He uses a spectrum of people as cast members, from those who are aerobics teachers to those just 'getting started.' The routines are easy to follow, and not too strenuous for those who are trying to lose weight and get into shape.
The routines get progressively difficult through the series (Sweatin' 1, 2, 3, 4), so buy the whole set. It's a great price, and will provide with you with that jump start to fitness!

This was great fun!!!Feb 11, 2008
By R.G. As a busy medical student who spends most of her time in the hospital it is very easy to avoid exercise... By the end of the day I am too tired, or it is too cold outside or (insert many other excuses here). When I decided earlier this year to try harder to exercise I asked myself what would help me stick to it. I knew I did not want to commit to a gym (lack of time and money), I couldn't exercise outside in the winter because frankly it really is too cold. But I could follow videos. So I started looking at some videos. And they were boring. Very, very boring.
Until (while browsing),I saw a small segment on youtube of someone who recorded himself while exercising to 'Sweating to the Oldies'. It just looked like so much fun, and the music was great. So I decided to take a chance and to buy the video. I am very glad I did. I love the music! Richard Simmons is funny and exciting and I enjoy dancing with the whole group. The video has the following songs: 1. Dancing in the Street 2. Beyond the Sea 3. On Broadway 4. It's My Party 5. Peggy Sue 6. Great Balls of Fire, 7. Wipe Out 8. He's a Rebel 9. Personality 10. Ain't No Mountain High Enough
So, overall this was the perfect video to begin exercising with. It is short, easy, and just pure fun! Richard does not breakdown the movements, but I picked it up pretty fast and didn't feel it was a problem. I loved this video so much that I am planning to buy the whole series and give this video to a friend.

The purchase that will pay you back for years to come!Dec 28, 2007
By J. Arena Richard Simmons' charming personality and know-how make Sweatin' to the Oldies a classic of the 80s rage for exercise videos. The music is great, and will appeal to people of every age, and I've enjoyed just listinging to it for inspiration while working around the house.
As an added plus, Sweatin' to the Oldies rates mega-stars as a fabulous family activity that not only entertains, but gets us off the couch for some very real health benefits. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the routines. There's some serious exercise here.
The Complete Collection of Sweatin' to the Oldies is a tremendous value!

Just Get It!Feb 09, 2009
By TundraVision Paraphrasing American Pie* o/~ A long, long time ago, I can still remember when this music and exercise used to make me smile o/~ and work out with Richard and his diverse crowd of fellow exercisers on VHS. Now the folks at Time/Life have released the full set of the first 4 on DVD. But wait! There's more!! A motivational and "Get back on the wagon!" never-before-released bonus DVD!!! I looked through the blurbs and reviews, but didn't find a handy-dandy list of the included tunes to which to sweat, so here it is: Original 1.) intro 2.) Dancing in the Street 3.) Beyond the Sea 4.) On Broadway 5.) It's My Party 6.) Peggy Sue 7.) Great Balls of Fire 8.) Wipe Out 9.) He's a Rebal 10.)Personality 11.)Ain't No Mountain High Enough S2tO - 2 1.) intro 2.) The Locomotion 3.) Fever 4.) My Boyfriend's Back 5.) Breaking Up is Hard to Do 6.) Windy 7.) Big Girls Don't Cry 8.) Jailhouse Rock 9.) Summer in the City 10.)Respect 11.)Rescue Me 12.)Oh, Pretty Woman S2tO - 3 1.) intro 2.) Gimme Some Lovin' 3.) Louie Louie 4.) Out of Limits 5.) Do Yo Want to Dance 6.) the Name Game 7.) I Get Around 8.) Born to Be Wild 9.) Rockin' Robin 10.)Build Me Up, Buttercup 11.) California Dreamin' S2tO - 4 1.) intro 2.) Shout 3.) Shotgun 4.) Dance to the Music 5.) Up the Ladder to the Roof 6.) Heat Wave 7.) Mony Mony 8.) Proud Mary 9.) Devil with the Blue Dress On 10.)the Wanderer 11.)Someday We'll Be Together
For Extra Credit, you can freestyle/improvise the moves to any tunes on your Ipod when you're away from your TV. My favorite: the Captain & Tenille's *Love Will Keep Us Together.* My only rules are: I gotta keep movin' through the whole song; and every time she sings "STOP!" I gotta kick the alternate leg up over my head (this maneuver not recommended for those not limber enough to find their own toes. ;-)
* You can work out to *American Pie* but you may not EAT any pie on this plan. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer

A Must Have for Me!Mar 08, 2008
By T. Shanks
"gettin' healthy"
I bought these DVD's because I wanted to lose weight and feel healthier. I love that I can put one in, crank up the volume, and forget I'm exercising. My kids think they are dancing with me. The routines increase in intensity and length as you progress through the set. I have been using them for a few months and can do the first few, 3 and 4 still really push me to my limit. But I cannot complain because I've lost 42lbs dancing in my living room.
