Editorial Reviews:

Richard Simmons, the great motivator, presents another light-intensity, low-impact, high-energy workout in the style of his popular Sweatin' to the Oldies series. Again live music is the focus--this time 1980s dance hits such as "Celebration," "Flashdance," "Gloria," "She Works Hard for the Money," and "Call Me." Just like in the Sweatin' videos, Simmons leads a large class of people of both genders and all shapes and sizes--all having the time of their lives dancing, singing, and cheering (their noisiness may grate on you after a while). Richard wears his signature shorts and tank top, and his followers wear multicolored casual clothes. The message is that it doesn't matter how you look or how much you weigh--just show up and dance! The dance-style choreography is matched to the music, but no moves require much coordination or memory. Simmons barely cues the changes--just watch and follow. This tape is a lot of fun, especially if you remember this music well enough to sing along! At the end of the tape, the performers dance down the center while we read their names and the amount of weight they've lost. Several have lost more than 100 pounds, and one woman has lost 282 pounds! (No, that's not a misprint.) Simmons is to be applauded for making exercise accessible and enjoyable to a whole population of people who didn't know that workouts could be fun. --Joan Price

I started doing "Dance your pants off" about 10 months ago and I am happy to say that I have lost almost 40 lbs. and have gone from a size 12-13 pant to a size 7-8. I watched what I ate but Richard Simmons was my main focus everyday. I did the tape everyday and the results are wonderful! I really recommend this to anyone interested in losing weight and having a great time at the same time! Richard Simmons is such an inspiration in Dance Your Pants Off. You will feel so much better about yourself after doing it.

This is an aerobic video like the Sweatin' to the Oldies videos but with 80's music. The opening song is Celebration which I find really motivating. I'm still learning the steps but it's so much fun that I want to keep doing it. I'm a child of the 80's and I especially enjoy exercising to songs like Call Me and All Night Long. If you're like me and you hate the perky spandex clad instructors and the lousy elevator music on most exercise videos then you might want to give this a try. It's a lot of fun.

His best! July 31, 2000

Richard cracks me up, and he leads a great workout. His routines take a little time to learn, but once you have them down, they're fun! This routine is arguably both his toughest and the most fun to do. It's shorter than most of his other aerobic tapes (only 27 minutes aerobic), but the music is fun, the routines are a blast, and Richard's enthusiasm keeps you going. If you like 80's classics, you'll like the music for sure. I highly recommend this tape!

I can actually do this! September 14, 2001

I'm not one of those folks that thinks exercise is 'fun.' I exercise only because I've been trying to lose weight the past several months. This video, though, is something I can physically do that I actually enjoy. As a child of the '80s, I think the songs are great, and the workout is enough to make me sweat without being discouragingly hard.
I also like that the video isn't populated by smiling hardbodies who've never struggled with their weight a day in their life. The people in this video look like me, which is also encouraging.

FUN!!! May 3, 2001

I have a few other videos, none as fun as this one. I got through it the first time I played it, which is unusual. I'd get tired, and just try to finish out that song... then when the next one comes on, it will perked me up so much, that I'd say to yourself...well after this one... then I might stop. I didn't stop! I kept going and made it all the way through! This is very encouraging for someone that is just starting up their exercizing. Its a lot of fun and easy to follow.
