Sweatin' To the Oldies Box Set

Summary: Fabulous workouts!!!
Review: Each of the 3 DVD's is a great and challenging workout that will really get your heart rate up and the pounds off. Sweatin' 3 and Sweat and Shout are both total aerobic workouts, while Sweatin' 2 is an aerobic workout that also has sections for arms and abs. One important note: for Sweatin' 2, you will need a high-backed chair for part of the warm up, and you also need hand weights or similar for the arm workout. The 3 DVD's together make for a great way to vary your workout day to day and they are very fun and entertaining as well. Even my kids like to do the videos with me! In just 6 months, thanks to Richard's workouts and a good diet, I've lost over 50 pounds!

Summary: Workout with a Smile
Review: I'm in the 40+ generation. The music in here is right up this "golden oldies" lover's alley! The workout DVD's are great as well. The first one, Sweatin to the Oldie's 2, has a nice combination of aerobics and light weight/stomach workout. It's a fantastic one to start with. My favorite is the last - Sweat and Shout. After 6 months, I still do this one 3 times a week and still get a good cardiovascular workout. Combined with a sensible eating plan (no fad diet for me), I've lost 55lbs. What's nice about watching this is that you can see how the people who are pretty out of shape do the movements as well as those who are in good shape. You can adjust your movements accordingly. Richard's movements are somewhere in the middle. The only "down" side is that if you are uncoordinated like I am, it takes about 5 or 6 viewings to learn the routine.

Summary: SWEATIN' TO THE OLDIES REVIEW
Review: I'M SURE THIS IS A VERY GOOD SET, HOWEVER, THE ORIGINAL "SWEATIN'TO THE OLDIES" IS NOT INCLUDED. I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT IS WAS NOT PART OF THIS SET. I DID NOT FIND THIS OUT UNTIL I RECEIVED MY ORDER. IT WAS NOT DESCRIBED WELL ON THE AMAZON WEBSITE.

Summary: A good workout
Review: I've tried several different workout videos and ended up back at these. They are pretty corny, but I like that they portray regular people exercising, not just perfect bodies. The dances, though hard to learn at times, are fun and interesting. There is a good mix of stretching, aerobic, and strengthening exercise. The clothing and hairstyles drive me crazy, but all in all it's the best I've found so far.

Summary: Good for building up fitness level
Review: These 3 workouts are great for building up fitness. Sweat and Shout was originally titled Sweatin' to the Oldies 4, so it does belong in this boxed set. I do understand being disappointed that Sweatin to the Oldies 1 wasn't also included in the set though. My favorite of the 3 is Sweat and Shout...I love to dance, so the workout is more like fun than aerobics for me. But, for those who have a hard time following dance steps, try the other two first. When you get them figured out, the fast pace of Sweat and Shout will be easier to follow. Richard doesn't give many cues, but give the tapes a chance...keep doing them. After you've done the workout several times, you will catch on to the dancing.

Summary: The original sweatin to the oldies is not in this set.
Review: This set includes Sweatin To The Oldies 2, Sweatin To The Oldies 3, and Sweat & Shout. I was a little dissapointed that the original Sweatin To The Oldies was not included, but its still a great set. I would have given it five stars if the original Sweatin To The Oldies had been included.

Sweat and Shout.
