I personally love Richard Simmons and although he can be a cheeseball in his workouts, I will always enjoy them. I had not heard of this DVD before I ordered it, but it was everything that can be expected from one of his DVDs. Easy to follow, low impact, ridiculously high production value (considering it's a workout DVD!) and cheesy encouraging words of wisdom from RS throughout. I really enjoyed the 80s tunes in this one and the ridiculously fantastic late 90s hair and wardrobe! Good times for all who love a good Richard Simmons sweat to the oldies!

Richard simmons still the best

"I have other exercise videos, but I always come back to Richard Simmons.
I am a senior citizen with a bum knee and other health problems. Exercising at least 30 minutes a day controls a great many health problems.
Richard's workouts are low impact and easy to follow and will not cause injury. I am glad to see he is updating some of the videos. He included a senior citizen in the video which sends the right message, I have learned that exercising is critical to maintaining health at an advanced age.
I also have his 60's and 80's blast off videos which are just 30 minutes in length which I use on those days I can't do the 40 minutes.

Wonderful Fun Workout

"I've been into physical fitness for years, have amassed many tapes & DVD's, including Tae Bo, etc. yet I found Richard's DVD the MOST fun of any.
The production is great--staged in a "mall", with the gang behind Richard a wonderful cross-section of shapes, sizes, & ages. I found Richard's cueing more than adequate, tho it takes a few tries to learn the routine.
The first time I tried this routine I couldn't get past the first 2 songs, but after a week or so I completed the whole thing. It's a hoot to do & u don't need much floorspace to do it either. Richard's upbeat attitude is infectious & 50 mins fly by while u really SWEAT.
It's easy to skip songs w/ DVD format, just do the ones u want.
I am 56 years old & highly recommend this for "Boomers" & others."
NOT NEW VIDEO-JUST COVER

"when I checked out the songs listed and watched the video clip I thought it looked familiar and went through my Richard Simmon's collection. Sure enought it is the same Supersweatin' Party off the Pounds produced in 2005. Only the cover is a little different. What a disapointment! I was going to preorder it as I love Richard Simmons and he is promoting on TV he is now 60 and out there to help us take off that Holiday weight.
So a warning for all you fans that this is not new...and Richard I am disappointed that you only did a remake if you read this!"

"As most people who remember the 80's, I thought Richard Simmons was crazy. I bought one of his Sweating to the Oldies videos about 6 weeks ago with some reluctance but I figured it would be easier to workout to a video that shows people my size and bigger instead of the other videos I have tried where everyone looks like they need a sandwich. I loved the video so much since then I have bought two more. This Party Off the Pounds is my favorite. It is fast pace and after you are finished (even the first couple of times when you are just flailing around trying to keep up with Richard and figure out what his next move is) you know you have had a work out. I recommend this video to anyone who is serious about keeping up with an exercise routine. It is fun and energetic."
Silly... but so much fun!

"I needed to find an aerobic workout that would keep me entertained and allow me to have fun in the process. Richard Simmons is very excentric... but he knows how to get you sweatin'! By the time it got to the 'Shake it Up' song I was dancing around like a moron, having a blast and sweating like crazy. With the familiar 80's flair of bright colors and pointless actors there is no denying that it is a Richard Simmons work out. I've had it for 3 weeks now and feel that it is the best work out I could've chosen to get me excited about exercising again. Great motivation for people just starting out, it'll keep you amused and give you a great workout all at the same time. I highly recommend this DVD!!!"
