Movie Minute: Richard Simmons - Sweatin' to the Oldies, the Complete Collection

Do you like to work out? Are you nostalgic for a simpler style of video - or for the antics and upbeat energy of Richard Simmons? I recently had a chance to review RICHARD SIMMONS: SWEATIN' TO THE OLDIES: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION, just released by Time Life, and available exclusively on Amazon.


The 6-disc set includes the complete collection of Simmons' best-selling Sweatin' to the Oldies workout programs. The high-energy classics from the 50s and 60s provide the backgroundd for low-impact routines suitable for people of all fitness levels. I'm fairly fit, but I still got a good workout - I upped the ante a little bit with light ankle and wrist weights. My mother, who has some minor health issues, enjoyed the DVDs as well and was able to keep up. 

The anniversary set also has special features -  an exclusive interview with Richard, testimonials and success stories from Simmons'  students, a full-color 20-page album of rare personal photos and memories personally selected by Richard and a bonus disc of "Love Yourself and Win -- Six Steps to Self-Esteem & Permanent Weight Loss."

 

Says Simmons' "I can't believe it has been 30 years since the beginning! For the first time ever, I have compiled the complete "Sweatin' to the Oldies" collection...It's the original and still the best way to get your heart racing and your blood pumping!"
