Jane Fonda's Original Workout

Excellent work out video

Bought for my mom who loved Jane Fonda. She was excited to start using it and has been using it alot. Came in great condition.

UPDATE Would like to add on to this review as there are countless Amazon reviews alleging this is not the original Workout. The DVD/Digital titled "Jane Fonda's Original Workout", with Jane in a red/pink striped leotard and purple leg warmers IS the original Workout. That is the first video released in 1982. The exercise program was also released as an album/audiotape - similarly the end of April 1982 - but the music contained in the album/audiotape was NEVER released on home video. There is no mis-marketing that this is the original Workout because it is exactly that. To be technical, this program was released a few days prior to the album/audiotape. Some reviewers are complaining that it's not the Workout Challenge or another video - this is not advertised to be a video other than the original Workout. If you are thinking of a video where Jane is NOT wearing a red/pink striped leotard with purple leg warmers, leading separate beginner and advanced Workouts, you are thinking of another video and NOT the original Workout. If you are listening to the program on DVD and are having trouble listening to vocals and only hearing music - you must ensure your audio cables for both left and right audio are connected to your DVD player and the TV. If you are only connecting one audio cable, it is likely the reason why you cannot hear vocals. The original Workout was recorded with dual channel audio - the left audio channel was music with instructions and the right audio channel was for music only. This allowed for consumers with the RCA VideoDisc player to choose if they wanted instructions with the music or just music. If you are connecting your DVD player to a TV and do not have the left audio channel ports connected, you will only hear music. Like many of her other videos, the cover/product image does not show her in the outfit she wears in the video. The cover image is the same image used on its original VHS, Beta, CED and LaserDisc releases, which was the same photo used for the original book that started the whole Workout series, as well as the album/audio cassette. Original review from 2015: The DVD presents the Workout with a great picture and sound quality. The video quality is a marked improvement even over the LaserDisc, which up until the DVD release was probably the best quality print of the Workout. Those who may recall the RCA videodiscs from the 80s may remember this Workout on that format, and how you could listen to either the music and Jane's voice or just the music when using the audio selector on the stereo player models. While this disc is technically not dual-audio with a music-only option, if you are able to isolate the audio to just listen to the right audio track, you could, indeed, have the Workout with music-only. Maybe a minor plus for some, but for fans of this program I think it's a nice feature if your DVD/TV allows for audio separation or if your computer video player can play one side track (I use VLC player on my Mac). The Easy Going (Prime Time) DVD also works similarly - the other 3 have stereo sound but not one designated music-only side. The menu breaks the workout down by class and has an introduction from Jane on the popularity and demand for this and the other recently released videos. Each class has chapter breakdowns so that you are able to access or jump forward by segment, as well. This is definitely an excellent purchase for any JFW fans of old or new - the quality and presentation are impressive and will definitely help you "go for the burn" for years to come.

I have been using this Jane Fonda’s workout since the 1980’s in my 20’s and still love it at 68 years old. The best overall body workout that I have always found great results without overstraining any part of my body. Highly recommend no matter your age.

I bought it for fun because I used to do this work out in the 80’s. But it’s more like Pilates

The dvd 📀 permitted me to finally depart from the VHS! This has to be the best workout of all time! My mother used this workout to stay 110 lbs soaking wet for many years and I have used it for years on a VHS with poor tracking as the tape started to fail I frantically searched and happy to find the DVD on Amazon! The beginners workout burns the right areas and like mom said with proper diet and do beginners once a day then twice a day then switch between advanced and beginner and you will see results! There is a reason Jane Fonda is the Queen of workout but this gets you sweating and burning major calories if you truly listen and do as she instructs I burned 400 calories as picture completing the Advanced Workout and sore in all the right places you can even up the anti and use weights on hands and legs if you are feeling superhuman! I have so many workout regimens from the best trainers and yet when I need to get back on that bandwagon I go to Jane Fonda Original Workout!

This workout is the Best there is out there! I had this on cassette and started working out with Jane Fonda in the 80's! She has encouraged me to continue working out for the decades to come. I am now almost 50 and I am so glad these have been re-released in DVD! Buying all of them! Not too intense but this works...start off with the 30 min beginners and when you are ready, you can move on to the advanced 60 min. Both are excellent. Warm ups are great, (some vid's dont warm you up enough). Lots of great stretching and the lower body workout will get your "Butt" in shape. If your thinking about it...Just buy it!

Basic moves that you can feel working! This was my first ever exercise VHS tape. It worked and I did it for years. I have gone through super in-shape phases to, well, blub - which is where I am at now. When I saw this on DVD I snatched it up and am starting back on the road to health. I used to do this NO PROBLEM! Well, 20+ years later it kicked my ass and left me "resting" on the floor a few times. OK, this is totally 80's and the outfits are a scream - especially the guys who look like John Travolta wanna-be's! But there's no denying IT WORKS! I have as many workout dvds as Amazon - some better than others. Some (sorry Bob Harper) are more for those in Olympic shape even though they say for "beginners". I've found that the dvd is only as good as the number of times you exercise to it. If it's so difficult you feel crappy about yourself - then it's a fail. THIS IS NOT A FAIL! And, some exercises you can totally add weights to make them more "challenging" SO GLAD this came out on DVD!
