[.ca] 80's Blast Off - Vhs

Not for beginners!:
I started using Richard Simmons videos years ago because I saw people like me, overweight, doing the moves. It was motivating because I figured if they could do it (some bigger than me) then I should be able to as well. I like this video. The music is my era, but if you have never done much cardio, this isn't the place the start. You definitely don't get much instruction, as was stated in another review, and the pace is much quicker than in some of his previous videos. One thing I like about all the Blast Off videos I've seen is that you often feel more like you're dancing than doing aerobics, so it's much more fun, and anything that can make working out fun gets a definite nod from me.

Hard to follow, but fun when you get it!:
As in his other videos, he hardly cues any of the moves, so you'd have to decide if you're ok with just following along a few times before picking up all the moves. This video is more vigorous then some of his others, I definitly worked up a sweat! I thought it was alot of fun, there were times when I couldn't stop smiling and actually LOL when we do the "fast runs" in Maniac and when we "honk" in Freeway of Love. If you can stand Richard Simmons, like 80s music and need a workout, this is the one for you!

Hard to follow but lots of sweat!:
If you're not really able to follow movements without much guidance and prompting then this video is not for you! Richard moves through the moves quickly without much instruction or prompting. The great thing about this video is you DO sweat a lot and feel like you get a good cardio workout. It takes several times through to really get the moves down. The music keeps you going. I would recommend this video if you are able to pick up moves qickly... and really want to sweat!
