In this workout, formerly titled Sweatin' to the Oldies 4, Richard Simmons leads another spirited and playful dance party. He and his group of wildly happy followers dance energetically to songs like "Shout," "Dance to the Music," "Heat Wave," "Proud Mary," "Devil with a Blue Dress," and "Mony Mony." His group of exercisers is smaller this time, but the band is larger, sometimes including gospel singers. This workout is longer and somewhat more intense than in earlier Sweatin' videos, with some faster and more intricate steps. If you're a complete beginner, start with one of the earlier ones, but if you've already worked your way up through the first three, you're ready for this one. (64 minutes, mostly aerobic.) --Joan Price

Best One Yet
Rating: 5
I have most of Richard's workouts. This one is by far the best, but only if you have done aerobics before. If you're a beginner, start with his first one and work your way up. The routines are more complex, but more varied. Not boring, in other words. If you're more into advanced aerobics, this is for you.
Great when you get the hang of it!

This video is really great when you get the steps down. He is confusing at first, but after a few times you'll get it down. I have a herniated disk in my back so I haven't been able to go back to the Tae-Bo-type workouts quite yet. This video was wonderful for my back. It made me feel better, which (anyone with a bad back will tell you) is a miracle after aerobics. You aren't jolting your back at all. I add more intensity by incorporating larger movements into the workout. You don't have to follow him EXACTLY! I would recommend this to anyone. My mom loves it and she's been the aerobics queen for years. At almost 60 years old, she can't handle the high-impact aerobics anymore. It's high-intensity, not high-impact. You get the same workout as you would jumping and jolting your joints in a high-impact aerobics class, without the trauma to your body. The music is great too!
Never Knew What To Expect Next
Rating: 3
I am not a beginner of video workouts. But I found this one confusing. By confusing I mean, I never knew the next step. I enjoyed the music but I was just jumping around and since Richard did not show nor tell you what kind of step you were going to be doing I could not get in sync with the tape. I prefer those videos that have more explicit instructions.
