Jane Fonda's Personal Trainer Series: Abs, Buns & Thighs [VHS]
You get two 25-minute workouts here: both are low-impact, aerobic routines alternating with intervals of lower-body muscle work using the body's resistance, no weights. The aerobic segments are taught by Fonda and two other instructors. The choreography is simple--nothing more complicated than step-touch, grapevine, heel digs, marches, and hamstring curls--and each move is repeated many times. If you like choreography challenges, this video won't hold your interest, but if you like to keep your choreography simple, or if you're a beginner to aerobic dance, you'll be at ease here. The intervals of lower-body training, taught by Fonda, include moves such as stationary lunges, squats (without weights), and standing leg lifts. Both workouts end with abdominals and a stretch. This video is suitable for beginners.--Joan Price
