I bought these DVD's to start working out at home since I hate having to pay a gym membership and never having the time to go and workout. I used it the following morning after received them and the title is correct, you do sweat to the oldes! My husband joked that it wasn't hard, but after the third time he did the video he had to agree that it was a real workout and he was even sore days after working out. I would recommend these DVD's to anyone that is interested in starting to workout. Every time I workout I feel that I am doing something positive to improve my health!

Rating: - Did not recieve item - waited over a month - ask for refund
One of the individuals selling this product failed to fullfill their agreement as a seller. I waited over a month for the items.....after I had already been charged. I e-mailed the individual twice with no repsond. I reported this to Amazon which is in the process of refunding my money.

Don't buy anything from ddmays!!!!!!

Thanks,

Rating: - Real Workout with Real People on the DVD!
I hate to workout but I want to get healthy and stay healthy. As a Muslim woman workout options are limited by my desire to not mix with men- so what to do? Women only gyms are few and far between in San Diego and as a student I don't want to get stuck in paying for a year membership to a gym I don't end up using because as a large woman its intimidation to go to gyms that seem to cater to already skinny people.

SO after looking at different excerise videos such as Billy Blanks Taibao- a tad to militant for my tastes- Yoga with Rodney Yee and friends- Yawn.. Zzz.. I found Richard Simmons and Sweatin to the Oldies!!! I love how cheesy he is! Just super bubble gum hyper mixed with 1970's-80's fashion disaster wardrobe- Awesome!

Richard's workouts require a tad bit of coordination for his corny dance moves like "Sizzle" and "Prayer." However don't give up.. like any workout routine such as Jazzercise or even a Spin class there is a small learning curve.

The workouts are deceptive in the fact you think when you begin that you won't end up sweating or getting a cardio workout in- so not true- at the end of a workout I am sweating huffing and puffing. The music really helps you get modivated- I feel like I am dancing my way to a healthier me- not even realizing that I am working out after the first song starts up!

I also really love that the people who are working out in the video with Richard are REAL people.. Fat- Large- Skinny- Short- Tall etc.. Real people not skinny workout bots. This makes me want to workout because if those people can- so can I!

Note however if you workout on carpet like at I do- I workout with barefeet.. it might work for you too! Enjoy Sweatin to the Oldies and getting a healthier new you!

Rating: - Unexpectedly not so bad....
I figured I would try Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies because I was getting tired of Tae Bo and wanted something fun. I recieved my Sweating to the Oldies box set and tried each disk the first week. The 1st disk was easy to follow and the music was good and Richard was more "contained". I got a good sweat going and was optimistic for the next 3 disks. Disk 2 was not as good. There were props required that were not explained in the intro or at any point so I had to stop and start the disk several times. Plus the routine was getting harder to follow. Disk 3 I like the work out ALOT but you have to play the disk a few times to get the routine right as he switches so often and mixes awkward moves together....starts to get more like coreography for a dance number. But I did sweat BIG TIME. So I really like the 3rd disk once I learned the routine. Disk 4 is harder because the energy is higher and the routines again are more difficult. But if you play it a few times you get the hang of it. It would be my advise to skip the box set and just order disks 1 and 3 seperately. Once you get past the silliness of Richard Simmons...the excersise is great and I look forward to losing weight and gaining muscle.
