Richard Simmons is a personality from the 1970s who was a fitness sensation. Using classic rock and roll music and contagious energy, he was able to hit the ground running. His enthusiasm encouraged overweight women to get off the couch and dance to oldies music. Simmons’ has branched out beyond his television show, but his base still watches him nearly religiously because he is inspirational. Simmons was overweight as a child and decided that he would jump his way thin. His child-like innocence and his positive outlook on life became a way for him to be much more than a thick child. Richard Simmons has his own product line that is designed to help women and men who are morbidly obese to eat nutritionally, and he stresses the need to move and eat responsibly while he is dancing to those oldies that he plays in the background. The program provides inspiration and motivation through the infectious good nature that Simmons displays to the audience. Moving to Richard Simmons’ Dancing to the Oldies provides an effective aerobic exercise program which proves to be fun and entertaining as well as good for the health thanks in part to the activity, and in part to Mr. Simmons.
Sweatin To The Oldies 4
The 20th Anniversary edition of Sweatin to the Oldies is Richard Simmons classic workout from the late 80's available for the first time on DVD and including sixty. Sweatin to the oldies number FIVE is so much better than the 1-4 releases. Number five doesn't have the band playing the songs so the music of each chapter is much closer to the original songs. The choreography for each song follows a consistent pattern so. Sweatin' to the Oldies 1 is the best of the three for me at this time. It's about 45 min. Long, has great music and gets my heart rate up to 144 at it's peak. It is not as heavily choreographed as Party Off the Pounds, making it easier to follow and learn the steps.
