it is not a salsa video
I am a good salsa dancer and bought this video to have an idea about dance salsa while I exercise.I thought that was the reason for this video. Not even close. This is the worst video in the all salsa history. I dont consider the yoga is a good idea to warm upneither.The music for salsa step is not even salsa music, so I dot recomend it to anybody.

A fun way to start moving
I liked this video, especially the Tai Chi warm-up and yoga cool down.The aerobic moves were fun and kept my interest.It is not a vigorous work-out, but perfect for someone like myself who wants to start exercising regularly.I look forward to doing this routine daily.

This video was a HUGE disappointment!
As a Salsa Instructor, I bought this video to use as a morning pick-me-up thinking that, at the very least, the music would be good. NOT! It was terrible! I went so far as to write a letter to the production company. The title is very misleading considering that NONE of the music is Salsa. It was some sort of new age style music that had nothing to do with Salsa. It was also very low impact, I didnt break a sweat. If Salsa is what you crave...this is not the video for you! ...

rip-off
After reading the glowing reviews, I bought this item and tried it.Not only did it not work, it seems I have even more wrinkles after making all the goofy faces required to do the face aerobics.Definitely do not recommend it..save your money.

With committment, it works!
I first discovered this video six years ago.I followed the exercises avidly for several years and completely re-shaped my face (I felt motivated because I saw results after a month).Although I did not tell anyone I was doing these exercises, people would mistake me for being in my 30's--however, I was 48 at the time--and it always amazed people when I would tell them my age.At 50, I still looked in my late 30's, and no one could believe I was 50!It was like having a facelift, only more natural.I got lazy and quit doing the exercises, and I noticed, over time, people no longer said I looked 35--and I began to notice my results fading--jaw started sagging, eyes started drooping, and I started to look my age--just like when you get out of shape in your body.So, recently, I decided to re-purchase the videos (I had misplaced them in a move) and committed to doing the exercises avidly.I am now 54 years old, but I am already seeing results again--most notably, my eyes have "opened up" and my face is firming up.I don't expect to look 35 now--since other factors of age are at play--however, my goal is to look in my 40's--and I believe that is achievable with this amazing program.As a bonus, the exercises are relaxing--and I look forward to doing them each evening.I have purchased other exercise videos that just demonstrate the exercise, then you have to pause the video and complete the exercises yourself.With this video, you get to relax and just follow along.It's great.One thing I would love to see however--I would like to see what Judith Olivia looks like now--ten years after making this video!:)

Great Results Fast!
I bought the Face Aerobics video after reading about Miss Olivia in Shape Magazine. Exercise works for the body, why not for the face? At first, I was concerned that facial exercises would cause MORE wrinkles- that's what I've heard before. But, Olivia says that in the past, other facial exercises DID cause problems because they were stretching the skin. Face Aerobics exercises were designed to strenghthen and tone up the facial muscles WITHOUT stretching the delicate skin on the face.Read more

Great, True Low-Impact Workout!
This is a super one!I've returned to exercise after about a year off, and I'm so glad I found this tape.It is truly low-impact, but high intensity, and easy to follow.It's the perfect program for anyone who wants a good workout but not complicated footwork.I was so hoping to find a good low-impact workout that I could actually follow and feel like I've done something really great for myself -- and I found it in this!Yes, the production is not the highest quality, and yes, the music does go in and out a bit, but I am much less concerned with these things than I am with getting a good, easy-to-follow workout.I don't care about the outfits or even a mis-cue once in a while -- this is a tape that delivers what it says it is -- low-impact, high intensity, easy to follow.Try it!

Don't waste your time
Let me start by saying the actual moves are pretty standard, though the squats are done too quickly for someone with bad knees.The instructor is pretty awful; she keeps saying "right" when she does *her* right side, and so on.This is the opposite from any other instructor I've ever had, and she's not consistent about it.One time she even calls the left foot three times in a row.She also describes more than one movement as "arms up!" and "big arms!"This wouldn't be so bad if the direction of the video weren't so terrible.About 30% of the time the camera has a close-up of her feet, and you can't see what arm movements she's doing.A lot of times the camera view doesn't fit the entire movement.Sometimes there are face close-ups, which is ridiculous for an aerobics video because we can't see what they're doing.The video quality is poor and the music keeps fading in and out.What I can hear sounds like a cross between a scary movie and an early 80's Nintendo game.It's boring to work out without energetic music, and the instructor doesn't even try to make up for it.All of this makes these reasonably simple routines difficult to follow, and it was a sheer waste of money.

TERRIBLE
Make sure you check the dates of any videos you order.This is from 1991 and is awful.They are off beat, the cueing is not as great as they claim on the cover and not all safety cues are up to date.Do not waste yourtime or money on this video, it should be taken off the market. ... Read more

Great Aerobic mix
This is a tape that really gets the heart pumping.It is very easy to follow,but it is a challenge.It is fun challenging aeribics segments about 40 minutes in all.It is compiled from the 6 original frim volumes so you get all the original instructers Janet Gretzky,Sandahl Bergman,Susan Harris,etc.
Low impact aerobics, some step, moderate difficulty
"The Firm Parts: Not-So Tough Aerobics" is a combination of step aeorbics and standing floor moves, some with weights and some without.This tape was edited from about half a dozen earlier "The Firm" workout tapes -- 7 minutes here, 3 minutes there -- like one of those serial TV shows that shows bits & pieces from previous shows.The lady pictured on the cover fills in transitions between segments, telling you what equipment to get and how to stand to get ready for the next segment.
The most boring video ever
I hated this tape.I will probably sell it or give it away.I've had it stored in my closet for years.Too boring, too cheesy, way too uninteresting for me to continue watching, so I have no idea how good the actual workout is. It's just choppy bits of several firm workouts.Hated It! ... Read more

Great Video
This exercise tape is wonderful. Leslie keeps you motivated throughout the whole entire video and it is very easy to follow, anyone can do it. I recommend everyone to try this tape.

The only Leslie Sansone "Walk Away" tape I haven't cared for
There were two things about this video I didn't care for--and one of them was my own fault. I didn't notice the video was from 1989, with all the poodle hairdos and glittery workout clothes and leggings!! I found it very distracting (but I giggled a lot, not something I often do during exercise videos so maybe that's really a plus...!) Leslie Sansone is the best!
This is one of Leslie Sansone's older videos. I love this one. Not only does it involve walking, but it involves a lot of upper body motion that keeps your heart rate up, and keeps you sweating. Leslie has a wonderful way of keeping you motivated with her upbeat attitude. She consistently changes the routine with easy to follow steps that leave you feeling great after a workout. Leslie Sansone and this video are great! ... Read more

Pretty Good for Arms Chest Shoulders...
As other reviewers have said the best portion of the workout is the middle where she has you do actual boxing techniques. Don't think of this as a Tae Bo type of Aerobic Boxing where you are bouncing around and getting more cardio in your workout because it's not at all. It's much closer to real boxing exercises, standing still and just doing endless repetitions of punch combinations, in fact the entire main portion of the workout consists of punching combinations. There is ALOT of punching I think another reviwer mentioned something like 2100 punches that wouldn't surprise me at all. You will feel it in your arms, chest and shoulders but there is zero work out for any other portion of your body.
A No-Nonsense Workout Which Truly Tones the Upper Half
I have to respectfully disagree with previous reviewers who feel this video is boring, laughable, or not much of a workout.True, Ms. Scott does not tell jokes or spend time trying to pump up your self-esteem -- and this is one of the two big reasons why it is my favorite upper body and aerobic workout video.I tend to tire very quickly of tapes when I can pre-speak the banter and parrot the silly comments because I have heard them over, and over, and over.The other big reason for my love of this video:IT WORKS.And it works FAST.Ms. Scott explains the required moves well, and they are easy to master.Once you've perfected your punches and you are moving more easily through the routine, you can increase the workout by adding weighted gloves or wrist weights.I have even gone through a number of weeks where I have used this video - with three pounds of weights on each arm - every day of the week, with no injury, but plenty of results.And to me, that is what matters - not the music, not the pep talk, not the variety.If you want a beautiful upper body and are willing to work towards achieving it, this is a great video to add to your collection.

Great Ab Workout (from laughing)
I got this video at Ross for like [little money], couldn't pass it up, have always been interested in boxing. I pop it in the old VCR and from the moment she started talking her weird talk out of one corner of her smile-less mouth through the warm-up I was lost. I could not stop laughing, the warm up is so cheesy it is painful. I truly felt embarrassed for poor Stephanie because she has no sense of rhythm or feel for music and her lack of grace in stretching and warming up was just a shame. OK so she is not a dancer, and has the personality of a houseplant, I got over it and dried my tears from laughing so hard and go to the actual workout (hence the 3 stars). The workout is tough and I was breathing hard, and felt it the next day in my biceps, triceps, delts and upper back and a little in the lats. She is definitely no-nonsense and is a terrific boxer. I have stuck with this tape (past that dang warm-up) and have seen definition in the muscle tone of my upper body. I won't even go there with the cooldown, it is even WORSE than the warm-up, there aren't even words to describe it. Buy this tape if you have a sense of humor and want a good boxing workout from a professional, learn the techniques and movements properly and then build your own workouts with your own music. ...

This workout needed to be longer.I would have then given it 5 stars.I am advanced so the high impact is what I need, bet for longer than 20 minutes.I will do it again and just do it with my tredmill, stairclimber, bike or another tape like I did today. ... Read more

Worst of all the Grind Tapes....
I think this is the worst Grind video ever made. I don't care for C-Note in it and I don't like the fact that Eric is not in this one as he is a great workout leader. It is also a boring video as it tends to drag on and on and then when it gets good if you have carpet some moves can be hard to do.My advise is to skip this one and go for one of the other Grind videos.

Hotttttttttt Young Men, but....
That now is my main attraction to the tape because the instruction is so well-done it drags onnnnnnnn and onnnnnnnn... However it is an interesting, unique concept - the mixture of dance and gentle martial arts moves, but... there's too much talking and not enough moving. It takes forever to gain momentum then when you nail the sequence they move on to the next endlessly-long break-down of instruction. This tape does have a great *fun* engergy level, it's sexy, and if you like gazing at male 20-somethings in their resplendent, physical prime, it's hard to go wrong. In fact...even when I'm mentally critquing this tape's bad points, I'm praising the physical beauty that abounds. Men, men, men. I Loved It
This video was kind of hard at first, but once I got the routine down, I absolutely loved it.I love to dance and this workout was more like a dance than any exercise video I had ever done before.Plus, I lost about 10 lbs., after about 4-5weeks of doing it 4 days a week. So, if you love to dance this one is definitely one for you!!!! ... Read more

HELPFUL, REAL GUIDE, BEAUTIFUL
It?s really something to follow and enjoy. Ron Harris promised a new shooting of this aerobicise. I hope to have news ASAP. RH is really a master y handling the beauty and the na?ve. RH videos are not onlyharmless, but helpful and soothing.

Aerobicise is the "fitness craze," as it was meant to be...
Take a step back to the early days of the 1980's fitness craze. This tapepredates the careers of most of today's fitness instructors. The field 4 which Bodywatching : A Field Guide, was written
This is the beginning volume of a series of 3, Ron Harris videos.Thesewere produced in the early 1980's, at the forefront of that decade's,"fitness craze."Read more
