Jane Fonda's Step Aerobic and Abdominal Workout [VHS]

Reader Reviews
This workout video is divided into two parts. First there is a 45-minute step aerobic section which includes a warm-up, several different step combination featuring a rotation of three instructors, a cool-down, and a short lower body stretching segment. The second part is a ten-minute ab workout hosted by Jane Fonda herself. The step workout is not difficult, in fact it may be aimed more for beginners as the instructors often ask the viewer to pay attention to their breathing and lessen their movements if need be. I consider myself at a strong intermediate level and work out with step videos 4-7 days a week. When adding my own propulsion, I still feel I get a good workout with this video. I like the rotating instructors (especially the cute guy, I get tired of only watching women instructors on aerobics tapes). I feel different instructors bring variety to the workout. The music also changes with each rotation. Not the most hip music (this is probably not a tape aimed at the young), but oh well. The ab workout makes this video well worth seeking out. Fonda does an excellent job explaining the moves, especially how to breath during the crunches. I used to be confused on the correct breathing procedure during abdominal crunches. Often, I would unconsciously hold my breath. After using this video, I know the correct breathing plus correct arm placement for all my ab workouts!
