Throwback Workout

Ab work from Jane Fonda's New Workout

In my quest to find the full length video, I stumbled upon this clip from an aerobics video I used to do back in highschool. The tape (yes tape ;) used to belong to my mom, and it was first released in 1984. I used to play it so much that it popped;I tossed it in the trash and never looked back. With the emergence of yoga and just-everday-lifestyle exercise, I never thought about that vintage Jane Fonda Workout until recently. With the eighties craze still going strong and with leggings now as iconic as a pair of blue jeans, a new interest has spawned in Jane Fondas "New" workout...

• Why I love it: The routine is very fast paced and really gets you going. Of course the 80's music is a little cheezy, but overall the workout is fun. There's a beginners and an advanced routine, but trust me the beginners routine is intense in itself. Exercise in the 80's was all about accenting the waist, and the ab and waist work in this video are great. Alot of intense stretches and cardio work to lengthen and tone to your body. This allows you to still keep your feminine shape without bulking up too much. The steps are easy to learn, and after a few routines you'll know them like the back of your hand.

Cardio works too fold...it burns fat, but it also opens up your appetite. Take advantage of this;). If you want to burn some weight off, this routine will def aide in that area-its very fast paced. If your problem is gaining weight, like me, this routine really gets you going, opens your tummy and makes you hungry. Of course remember to follow your workout routine wth a healthy bite either way ;). Unfortunately, this video can only be found on VHS, so if you still have a VCR, you're in luck ;). Other's like it like Jane Fonda's Complete Workout, and Jane Fonda: Complete Personal Trainer Series can be found on DVD. I trust what I know, and the New Workout worked then and it still works now! So until the tape pops again this is my workout of choice!!! I invite you to try it!!! LOVE
