Jane Fonda Prime Time Walkout

I do Jane Fonda workouts 4 times a week using several of her workout DVDs over the last 2 years. I'm 41 and I feel great - I've seen an improvement in my endurance and flexibility, as well as my overall wellbeing. I added this Prime Time Walkout DVD once a week, while using her more high intensity DVDs on the other 3 days. The Walkout workout is definitely different from her other workouts in that it's lower intensity, less jumpy movements, and a slower pace; this one just has Jane, no other people in a workout studio like her others. Jane looks fantastic, she made this when she was in her early 70s. I love that she jokes and gives you fitness tips throughout. The stretches feel so good as well and help you maintain flexibility. You start slow, go more intense, cool down and stretch. The total workout equals walking a mile, but the aerobics is more fun to me. I like that you can choose 2 levels with this, a lower intensity and a higher intensity. Even doing the higher intensity, I don't break a real sweat, but my heart gets pumping a little higher, not as much as with her other workouts. I love that I can get this workout in in 20 minutes in the morning. To make it more intense for me, I chose to use wrist weights and that really makes a difference by adding to the intensity and raising my heart rate. If you find it's not enough of a challenge for you, I'd recommend adding the wrist weights (1-2 pounds). For the price, it's a bargain to maintain my fitness on my terms. I also recommend Jane Fonda Total Workout and Jane Fonda's New Workout, those two are my most used ones. Read more

I'm 37 y/old and for the most part I would avoid anything as old school as Jane Fonda. In the past I've done Shiva Rhea, Kundalini Yoga, Tennis, etc. But a few auto accidents into my life my body is now telling me my limitations. I have a neck injury and now some scoliosis in the neck and upper thoracic and lower area. I am currently dealing with the neck as even real walking, too fast, causes headaches and neck grinding. So basically I have the body of a 80 y/old:-) Well, I've seen 80 y/olds get around better than me, so a body of a near deceased person:-) So thank goodness for YouTube because I had a chance to look at many different fitness videos and I had eyed this video and another Jane Fonda workout. I decided this would be the best for me because: 1) You don't need a lot of room in your home to do this workout. 2) Its a gentle workout but you can break a sweat PROS: 1) Its a gentle workout- I didn't get much radiating pain from this workout and she doesn't ask you to do crazy stunts (like stand ontop of your head) 2) I LOVE the fact she has you warm up before walking 3) I LOVE the fact she has you stretch as a cool down 4) I think her cuing isn't bad and the steps she has you do aren't complicated in learning 5) There are two sessions, each only 20 minutes of exercise so you can easily do this before going to work. 6) I enjoy the setting of this video 7) Every part of the exercise program does what she says its suppose to do/feel CONS: 1) Not many cons. I just wished she had included a 2 mile walking program too. 2) There are some overhead exercises with the arm (and for me, this causes some discomfort). She does talk a lot, but its nice mindless chatter for me because its during the walking and its important stuff... sometimes she repeats it over and over again... but I don't mind because I found her DVD to be less annoying than many other aerobic or walking DVDs out there. I am really happy Jane did this DVD... after my recent accident, other than pilates, this DVD is the only other thing I can do without feeling much pain afterwards. So this DVD is my personal blessing. Read more

When I read the reviews I was hesitant about getting the Jane Fonda WALKOUT DVD because some said she was a little out of beat, and others said it was a workout for beginners, or elderly. I ordered her two Prime Time DVDs anyway. I'm very pleased I did. I am impressed because although it is low impact, the more advanced workout in her program is plentiful, especially if you pay attention to her movements, and stay strong. I've been faithful at staying fit through the years, but in my 60's, my life became hectic for a period of time, and I slacked off a bit, and felt like I needed a new program. After a month of using Walkout, followed about Jane's Prime Time Fitness, I've lost weight and inches, and I can see definition coming back, and I feel great, even sleep better. For me, it's a far better work out than Curve's roundabout. I like Jane's positive attitude, and her encouragement. She stresses good posture, which after a few weeks became natural. I'm feeling confident and ready for all that comes my way. This is a great workout for Baby Boomers who want to be fit and fabulous, like Jane Fonda. Read more

Jane Fonda is in her seventies, and she recognized there are many seniors and others who are couch sitters. We need to get up and move, and what better exercise than walking. Jane Fonda started the exercise video craze years ago. Hers were the first on the market before VHS and DVD's had a name. Now, she has released this relatively new one for those in her age bracket and younger. Anyone who wants to exercise should be able to do a little. If you can walk a few steps, you can start with this video. It is not just moving your legs, but also moving your arms and more if your body as you become stronger. Getting up off of the couch is the first step. Put your arms on the sides of the couch and push up. Here we go, Jane gives us a little info about the impact of exercising on our physical and mental health. She starts us off slowly, and builds the exercise levels up slowly. This is a video for everyone who wants to start to move. It may not be easy at first, but it is a start, and if you keep up with the walking, you will soon be moving along. This is a start and it will improve your psyche if you keep up wit it. Recommended. prisrob 07-16-15 Read more
