F.A.Q
.

 

In 1983, or thereabouts, I bought Jane Fonda's Original Workout for my wife as she had asked for it as a Christmas gift to help her drop excess pounds and get toned. Interestingly, she gave up on it after a few attempts at the Beginner's Workout.

Interestingly, she gave up on it after a few attempts at the Beginner's Workout. Concurrently, I was looking for an excercise program for myself to burn fat, get some cardiovascular exercise, and build muscle tone. I started with the Beginner's Workout and did it religiously 3 to 4 times a week for at least six months. I then graduated to the Advanced Workout, which took me some time to fully master in form and without stopping. But after a while I was able to do it perfectly, and to this day (20 years later) I am still doing it every opportunity I get. Since that time, I lost 30 pounds and never gained it back. I am lean and toned and my health is excellent. (Not bad for pushing 53.)
After all of these years, my wife wonders why I am not bored stiff doing those same moves (and to music that is pretty outdated). My answer: IT STILL WORKS!! In fact, I have tried many other workouts over the years, but none of them have been as effective and so I always come back to the original. Unfortunately, I was forced to make copies of the original VHS tape since it was beginning to wear out.
So I say: PUT THIS OUT ON DVD!! I find it hard to believe that a video that was once the biggest seller in history, wouldn't rank as a prime candidate for a DVD reissue, if only for posterity's sake. Thank you Jane for so many years of improved health (both mental and physical)and increased stamina and strength! I plan on doing this workout for many more years to come!
