I’ve had this DVD before and missed it terribly. So much so to look for it to purchase again. The exercises on here are fun and would definitely get your heart rate going but can definitely be done in one completed round. The only thing is that the DVD skips the intro but that’s not terribly important. Overall, I’m happy and grateful with my purchase. Thank you.

I had been working out to my original VHS tape and a replacement VHS I had found elsewhere since the original version came out way back when, but my daughters kept "borrowing" them each time. I have purchased many other workout videos, but I keep coming back to this one. Nothing else comes close if you are an oldies fan and want a good cardio and overall session. As someone else stated in a review, RS doesn't explain how to do it, but it takes no time to learn the moves; my girls and I would even dance around the house making the moves when one of the songs on this tape would play on the radio. It takes more time for these routines than for most others out there, but when we are pressed for time, we do the warmup, one of the "medium" routines, one of the "blood-pumping" routines, another "medium" routine, then skip to the cool down session. He even allows time to get a drink of water between routines, but he keeps you moving, even if it is just walking. Fun, fun, fun. Am I a fan of this particular workout routine? Oh, yeah!Read full review
I'm actually working out with Richard at his Beverly Hills gym "Slimmons", but can't get there as often as I need. This gives me the oppertunity to work out at home. It's fun because a lot of the regulars who are featured on the DVD still work out with Richard on a regular basis. This is a fun and easy way to get your a** in gear with a great workout that's fun as well!
I started out "sweatin" with Richard Simmons' videos when they first came out several years ago. When I saw the release of this DVD of the original, I grabbed at a chance to get it. As I get older, I don't enjoy going to work out in public where I'm faced with all of the people who are 30 years younger, and who have much more toned and youthful looking bodies. Now, I can do what I did all of those years ago. I can do some reasonable excercise in the privacy of my own home with no one watching me, just like I did years ago with this same video. I am a teacher, and it became a routine for me to come home from school, change clothes and "Sweat with the Oldies" while dinner was cooking. I am so happy to have found it once again and look forward to starting my routine of years ago. I will never look the same as all of those younger, but at least I can get some excercise, while I'm enjoying myself without feeling out of place. I had hip replacement surgery two years ago as well, and there is nothing in this DVD that I am not allowed to do. It's a great find for me, a terrific DVD, and Richard Simmons gives me the incentive to do things that no one else has ever motivated me to attempt. Thanks for releasing the DVD. I'm about to purchase the next one for a bit of variety! Everyone who feels like me about working out publicly should try this DVD. TERRIFIC!!!Read full review
I needed to exercise and I do have the tape on vhs(I also have a vhs) I decided I would buy a dvd. My first thought was a Simmons dvd.. I found it and I bought it. I have been telling my friends about it. As I remember he has always cared for all.
