    I dug out my Sweatin' to the Oldies 2 about 5 weeks ago!! They are timeless! I used to do them all the time in the early 2000's and lost like 40 lbs. When I started back this time, I could barely get through 15 min of it. Now I'm up to 40 min and I love it! I log it under aerobics - low impact, but for 38 min it said I burned 368 calories and I thought that seemed really high, so that's why I googled "how many calories do you burn when you do Richard Simmons aerobics," and it linked me right back to MFP and this old thread!

    I recently got Sweatin to the oldies and part 2.....on vhs lol, i found em at a thrift store for $.50 each, now im hooked I like the original the best, Richard makes it fun and is motivating. I also would recommend Richard's Tone and Sweat video, you will need a resistance band cord to do that workout but it is good for strengthening and toning your muscles. I go back and forth between these 2 videos, with that and Intermittent fasting i have lost 20 lbs so far

    I looooovvveeeee Richards Simmons! :-) I just use low impact aerobics, but I don't eat back my exercise calories. I eat a set amount every day & just stick with it.

    I drove richard simmons in a limo years ago. He was doing a show and i picked him up at the airport and Drove him to the fairfrounds about 2 hours away. He was extremely nice and a really neat person. When we got to the fairgrounds he got out of the car at the gate and jogged into the arena in the headlights of the limo. His crowd went wild.
