Richard Simmons - Sweatin' to the Oldies (VHS, 1990)

I love richard simmons. He has always been a fan in this house every since i was little. I bought this movie to get in shape and its not a hard work out video. Keep it simple and have fun and that is what this video is about.

Growing up kids can not have enough exercise... well according to my grandmother at least. a registared nurse for 40+ years she made us do sweatin to the oldies all the time. When she passed last year we all sat around telling stories and that was 1 that came up. I have looked several times but just did not feel the price was right for me to purchase them. When i e-bayed it(my way of searching for something) I found several richard simmons videos and thought it was a bargin. Thank God I was the high bidder!!!

My wife twisted my arm to buy this for her. It came in, and she disappeared into the media center with it in tow. Its the only exercise routine she has been able to stay with over time. Too bad we couldn't find it on DVD.

This video gets you moving and is easy to follow. Richard keeps you motivated and it goes by SO fast. I do this faithfully everyday and now feel guilty if I don't. I work up a sweat and when I feel I can not go on any longer, the workout slows down. It's the PREFECT combination of warmup, to cardio, to cool down. I can not imagine my daily routine with out it. I wish I could thank Richard personally!!

Love this workout. Even if I don't have a lot of time, I feel like I've done something for my health. I can make it harder by exerting more effort, or easier by not lifting my arms and legs so high.

I bought this in hopes it would get me to exercise. This is very uplifting and was a great buy. Richard Simmons really knows how to motivate and make you laugh while getting some exercise in.

My wife has begun a quest to loose weight; our age goes back to this type of music. She loves the music and the encouragement which Richard Simmons provides. He seems so sincere with his encouragement. Excellent

This is my second tape of the smae exercise program. Love the music, the exercises are great for the beginner or the "out of shaper" as well as the > 40 age group (always check with your MD before starting a program). Easy to follow and easy to do. The music helps keep it moving. Hope this 2nd tape holds up....don't know what I will do when it dies.

It was great getting so many videos for a great price. I bought to have excercise videos in the house. I have a gym membership, but I hardly ever go. With these videos, I just pop them in anytime. Good deal.

Used to do this back in high school - great aerobic workout when you can't get out to the gym! It's easy enough that my five year old gets involved working out to it as well as myself. But it's fast enough to get your heart rate up for a worth while workout. I'd recommend!

When my sister and I had this tape in 1990 we actually felt like we could dance! However, we won't be dancing with the stars anytime soon! Thanks to my eBay seller for helping me to get out of my chair again!

The movie was in excellent shape! The price was great and the shipping was fast. Thank you very much. I would buy from you again!

This is a fun exercise video!!! It keeps you going with the great music!!!
It is the best video I have ever exercised to. The people are normal looking, not just exercise freaks. It is 41 minutes, so doesn't take a big chunk out of your day. I would highly recomend this video!!!!

I love this exercise video. It doesn't have leotard clad super models hopping around. The people exercising on the video are more like me. The clothing is VERY 80's, but it makes you feel young again. Richard Simmons is a bit over the top, but he's fun to laugh at. I have been 'sweatin' daily since I received the video, and I feel great. I am not bored of it yet. I totally recommend this video to anyone of any fitness level.

I bought a video tape. The seller was quick, easy, good ebayer. Hassel free, delivered exactly what I asked for in a timely manner.

I purchased this video so I could continue to exercise in the winter months. I had this same video previously and purchased a second one simply because the first one wore out. I love it, because they are real people struggling with weight loss all at different levels, exercising. No matter what your activity level you can do this and progress upward. Not only is it visually encouraging but Richard is constantly providing positive reinforcement during the entire video.

I used to have Richard Simmon's Sweatin to the Oldies tape and enjoyed using it. I unfortunately nedd to los weight and seeing how the weather is too cold to venture outside for walking, I wanted a fun way to lose weight and to keep me motivated. That is why I thought of checking out this tape for my own personal use. The music on the tape is upbeat and brings memories from a generation that my father told me stories of when he was growing up through that time. I also enjoy the fact that most of the people working out in this tape, including Richard Simmons, have either lost a lot of weight or are in the process of losing weight. It is inspiring.

My wife exercised to this program five days a week for about a year, and the tape was getting worn, with unwanted horizontal lines beginning to appear. I found a replacement tape (brand new) on eBay, and it is working great. Among the low-impact programs, this one rates highly. It has fun routines, not to mention really great 50s music from a terrific band and singers. The first of Richard Simmons's "Sweatin' to the Oldies" programs, this one is still the best, with mostly wide shots that show the steps instead of too many useless close-ups.

This is a video that I have found to be very good for people who cannot do much in the way of high impact aerobics. I have arthritis and this video lets me get my excercise without troubling my joints.
It is also easier to follow than most exercise videos I have tried.
For anyone who wants to exercise without feeling frustration at not being able to keep up with the tape, then I highly recommend this video.

This is a great video with low impact arobics that is fun and exciting. I do the excercises with my mother, and most importantly it does help health and heart!! That is alway exciting. It MAKES YOU enjoy excercise. You aren't doing it alone. I think that it is fun to have a variety of the videos because it does seem to get very repetitious. One more thing that I really enjoy about the video is that at the end of the video, the people in the video are introduced. When you are not feeling that it is doing a lot of good, the video explains how much weight they have lost. It just makes you feel better, and ready to do some more.

I bought the video because I couldn't find it anywhere else. I am trying to initiate some kind of exercise and because I am disabled, I can't do much. I do what I can and then sit down. Just to see the bigger women dancing and excited about what they're doing is an inspiration to me.

I bought the video to replace one I had worn out (the same title) I find it a fun and motivating work out.. and it has helped me lose 145 lbs this past year..

This video , incomparison to his many others , is on the whole just average. I have collected several, and it's o.k., but not my favorite.

The price was right and items were in excellant condition. Recieved items in great time as promised.
