This is a really fun video, with crazy fun music and songs, but does it deliver a good workout? I grew up with Richard Simmmons, I also loved watching him on my favorite soap, General Hospital, where he taught aerobics, so I am familiar with him. This video will definitely get you moving, but I find it's more of a music video at times than an instructional fitness video. He does try to engage all the people and talk to the viewers, but he really does not teach you the moves, you just sorta follow and try to figure out what he is doing. There are times in the video where I just stood and lifted my legs to the music. This would be a great video for senior citizens to follow along. Obviously they would know the music more then the current generation, and the pace is just slower for the older set. This is fun and Richard is a hoot to listen to, but for today's active youth there are more revved up videos that deliver a more intense workout. Long live Richard Simmons!
