Sweatin to the Oldies by Richard Simmons was originally released in the 1980s and ten years later the second version was created. It's still fun to watch as you can see in the video below. I'm kind of amazed at how the twelve participants in the video are so inspirational and energetic! Man can they really move! Just so you know, you can watch all the videos on my site in full screen mode! First button beside the volume.
Sweating to the Oldies - Summary of Real Consumer Reviews
Pros
- The exercise video is on a fun set with a live band, disco lights and bubbles.
- The workout is lively and creative. There is a party like atmosphere with music from the 50’s to the 70’s.
- I found it unique that there are aerobic and dance moves combined to give an interesting workout.
- The dance moves start low and progressively get faster and faster instead of being at one steady pace.
- It runs for around 40 minutes which is a good workout for the average user.
- Richard Simmons of course is always motivational and unconditionally loving.

Cons
- If you are unfamiliar with Richard's dance moves then you are left wondering what is coming up next. There is basically a lack of instruction throughout the video.
- Stretching and slow breathing are only done after five minutes into the start of the routine which is kind of confusing.
- Richard stops in the middle of the tape to check his heart rate but doesn’t tell you how to do it.
- If your used to traditional aerobic fitness moves, you may find Richard's dance moves quite different and not as easy to follow at first.
- The [tags]sweatin-to-the-oldies[/tags]group takes breaks in between songs and runs over to the live brand screaming at them like groupies, which may or may not annoy you.
- If you are a Type A personality like myself you may not enjoy having a lack of instruction and guidelines to follow along.
- If you are in mediocre shape naturally you may not get the workout you need. It is more suitable for beginners who want low-impact aerobics who aren’t as concerned with following along to every dance move. Although you can follow along at your own fitness level.
Sweatin to the Oldies is a lot of fun for non structured aerobic workouts and for those of us who love Richard Simmons personality and style. By the way, I'll be adding many more reviews on home fitness equipment that you see advertised on TV.
