Summary: STAY AWAY FROM THIS DVD!!!!
Review: (...) TCheesy and very low budget are the best words to describe these DVDs. The instructors are a big joke, especially the guy on the "Fat Burning" portion who is wearing neon orange tights that leave absolutely nothing to the imagination (and he is scrawny and hairy, also)...not a pretty sight. Then you've got Traci Lords doing aerobics in a teeny tiny bikini, which may appeal to some but that's not something I want to watch! I think the director forgot to tell her that this isn't a porno (she closes her eyes and breathes heavily quite a bit).
I basically put each DVD in and watched the first few minutes of each one and that will be the last time they are ever near my DVD player.

Summary: I do like one of the workouts!
Review: I agree with everyone else. This is very dated and cheesy. I was so excited when I bought this - thought the concept was good. I bought this at a Name Store, and it was one of the few workout videos they had on the shelf that wasn't yoga. So I am very disappointed that this is all you can get out there. But on the fat burners dvd - there is one workout that has funky aerobics, hot bods and baby boomers aerobics. The Hot Bods and baby boomers are 30 minutes each and they are pretty good. You have to ignore the outfits, though. I laughed my behind off, I did one of the other aerobics programs and I had to stop after 5 minutes and just sat there and laughed. My 3 year old came into the room and asked what the weird girl was doing on the tv. It was actually a man in a one piece black leotard with a white belt!!

Summary: THIS DVD IS AWFUL!!!
Review: I bought this dvd because I found it for $9.99 and thought for over 12 hours of workouts that was a great deal - I checked the release date and it was 2002 - so I wasn't worried. I put in the first tape, though, and wow!! Talk about outdated! I had a really hard time getting past the little things (like hot pink shiny workout outfits and girls with short bangs curled and hairsprayed) - still - I figured I'd give another workout a try and I couldn't even get through the intro. - it was a segment talking about backcare that was simply outdated and too much to take...waste of money.

Summary: Wonderful comic DVD -- think Carry On Fitness Programmes!!!
Review: I found if i feel i cannot be bothered to exercise this is a great set of workouts -- because I work my abs so much from laughing -- especially the Traci Lord's workout -- give it a go if you want a tongue in cheek workout!!!

Summary: Good for Beginners...you get what you pay for
Review: I think this DVD would be good for beginners, however it is outdated-and alot of the people are very unattractive! If that does not bother you, this is a good deal for the money. I think the step aerobics are great for beginners only & not too outdated! The back exercises are great and are a kind of blend of pilates, ab work, and yoga. The Kickbutt workout is good-but immitates Taebo, as does the Taefit workout. The yoga workout involves no instruction what-so-ever -not recommended for beginners! The aerobic workout with Shirley Jones is the one I absolutely cannot stand, and think it is the oldest-probably from the 70's! The Jazzthetics with Traci Lords is THE FUNNIEST thing you will ever see! I found myself laughing out loud while viewing it the first time! Overall-if you are looking for a bargain and do not care that some of these are older-is worth the price. If you are used to Tamilee Webb, Karen Voight, Kathy Smith, etc, do not waste your money-you will be disappointed!

Summary: Very good compilation of fitness videos
Review: I was looking for a video program that would give me a variety of exercises. This DVD set is exactly what I have been looking for. It has kickboxing, yoga, aerobics, tae fit, weightlifting (arms and shoulders strengthening) .The workout range from easy (where you don't feel any sweat) to hard where you are just wiped-out after performing the video. There are ten program series on this five DVD pack (there are two series on each DVD, on each side of the DVD). Some of these series are pretty old (some going back to the late 80's) but they are still quite stimulating. Also, some of the DVD's (on my copies) have some video glitches (but do not interfere that much with the workouts). Some of the instructors are kind of nerdy but it is the exercises that you want to perform not how beautiful the video looks or sounds. This is the lineup of the DVD fitness series that come in the pack: Kick Butt Kombo: A series of two programs featuring kickboxing as an exercise. The second program is real intense. Yogacise: Featuring Yoga. I found it ho-hum but I am not into Yoga. Fat Burners: Three programs. Not to bad on the intense part. Involves aerobics. Body Focus: Very light exercise. More like stretches. Jazzthetics: Tracy Lords (sp?) (yes, that Tracy Lords) is your instructor. This video involves a lot of lower back exercises which I could not do so I have to be neutral about this video. Tai Fit (not Tai Chi; not sure of the difference): Shows you the movements in one video and the applies them to the workout in another. Rotation and Motivation series: Back in Action:

Summary: STAY AWAY, STAY FAR FAR AWAY
Review: I wish I could have the option of 0 stars for this DVD set.
For 1 thing, its innate with these DVD's that there are tracking problems with them. Thank goodness I was able to return it, since it was a defect.
Secondly, these videos are old 80's and early 90's stuff, but mostly 80's. They are TERRIBLE. I can't believe they had the nerve to put this on DVD. They should be ashamed of themselves.
2 of the workouts are Traci Lords Jazzthetics (yes, THAT Traci Lords) She actually has a rhyme for every single move you make.A few examples :
"Keep your tummy firm and tight/if it hurts you've done it right" "Roll your hips round and round/a perfect circle should be found" "Move your hips left to right/keep it firm, keep it tight" "bend your waist, turn round and round/burning off another pound"
and another one, I can't remember what it says, but it ends in "Come on baby, please don't poop" And many many more. The workout itself is ridiculous. I must admit, though, you'll pee your pants you'll be laughing that hard. Another thing you need to be aware of, they have changed the title of this DVD set, and changed the cover. It now has a purple cover with a woman with blonde curly hair, and its titled Fitnessheaven.com's 10 Best Workouts. This is the absolute worst fitness video set I have ever, ever seen. Keep your money, avoid this set like the plague.

Summary: Wish I could give it a NEGATIVE 5 stars
Review: I've never left a review before - but this one is so bad I just had to keep others from wasting their money. My 10 year old decided to start some daily exercise. When looking at DVD's she decided that this would be a good starting point so she could get a variety of different options and then decide what she liked the best. She was most interested in the "More Alive" and "Fat Burners" programs. Not only are ALL of the programs EXTREMELY dated, but the "Fat Burners" looks like it's the 50th copy made of the same video tape - not even watchable (due to the static) in some areas - and on my copy the "More Alive" program has been replaced by the "Tracy Lords program" - which can only be described as disturbing. This program was NOT listed on the cover. My $20 would have been much better spent on one QUALITY (this century)fitness DVD.

Summary: Old but functional
Review: If you don't care whether or not your workout is updated and the quality great, this is a good DVD for the price. It has a lot of variety. I'm not too sure of the Tracy Lord workout. Doesn't seem too effective. In fact, some parts may be down right dangerous (bouncing stretches, throwing yourself all over the place). The others make you move and that is what you want to do. It is a complitation of some VERY old workouts but exercise is exercise. If you want a bargain for a variety of workouts this is for you, if you don't care about quality. Consider you get 10 workouts for less than...If you are into the latest trend in exercise stay away from this. You will be greatly disappointed. However, if you found the old routines (80's, 90's) effective, these will work out just fine for you.
