I have been using "Sweatin' to the Oldies I" for years to get my students moving and exercising. Whether you like Richard Simmon's or not, you will enjoy these workouts. I bought the complete collection so that we could have some variety in our workouts. The kids have a great time and so do I because I exercise right along with them. Because of the music and the dance-like moves, the time goes by quickly and yet when you are done, you are sweating and know you have done aerobics. There are also strength and flexibility exercises that are fun and effective. You should try them out for sure!
