 A solid traditional tough workout! January 29, 2005
42 out of 46 found this review helpful
Before Jane Fonda got America to its feet with exercise-in-your- home videotape series, the only serious participants were dancers, athletes or the very experienced exercisers.
In this video, her core exercise group seems to be those very fit and trim people who had exercised to sustain their body for their profession.
It is very clear to say that Jane Fonda's early videos, like this one, Complete Workout, Easy Workout, Prime Time Fitness, Workout With Weights, and the tough Jane Fonda Challenge Workout are all very good workouts. These were done prior to the massive surge of competition that flooded the market, where everybody sold an exercise video.
Hence, Fonda's later videos suffered in quality! Those being: Lean Routine, Step Workout, Lower Body Solution, etc.
The Baby of 'em All
This 1982 classic video is the baby of 'em all. The video comes in two sections, Beginners - 30 minutes and Advanced - 60 minutes.
In her warm-up, she even does jumping jacks also with great stretching routines, and you will see movements that today's exercise gurus don't do anymore. If you are new to exercising, you will feel the pain.
The basis of this workout is certain repetitive movements that focus on single muscle groups against the resistence of your own body weight.
Fonda works with every part of the body, from deep stretching to great waist work, grueling crunches, tendon stretches and serious deep lunges. She uses repetitive counts for each segment. At times, her voice overdubs the program to give advice and offer proper techniques while working out.
This is a tough workout, and if you are serious for strenuous workouts, and if you desire to improving your fitness regime, do this workout. And get the companion book "Jane Fonda Workout Book"
Then, try the Jane Fonda Challenge Workout, it has a very challenging aerobic section that is even tougher. .....MzRizz
The Best Jane Fonda Workout EVER!!! December 26, 2004
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This video includes two different workouts: Beginners: 30 minutes and Advanced: 60 minutes.
The back of the video reads:
"My workout is designed to build strength, develop flexibility and increase endurance. To get the full benefit from the workout you must do it with me from beginning to end without stopping. It is this vigorous and sustained use of your entire body that will not only tone your muscles but will burn up calories, improve your circulation, eliminate toxins and strengthen your heart and lungs.
"The basis of the workout is the repitition of certain movements that use a single muscle group against the resistance of your own body weight. The repititions are followed by stretches to develop flexibility and keep your muscles long...."
 Not a SAFE tape to do October 28, 2004
6 out of 25 found this review helpful
Janes does many streches and she BOUNCES. Thats a no-no these days. Now a days, its static stretches that are in. The aerobics portion is maybe 3 minutes, in beginner and advanced classes. The arm work uses no weights and mainly works your shoulders. The ab routine is probly the only good part of the tape. Dont waste your time trying to find this tape.
there are many better tapes out there.
