I've just ordered my dvd's from Amazon. It says they're due to be delivered Saturday, but I won't be able to try them until Sunday or Monday. I ordered "The Complete Sweatin' to the Oldies". I'm really looking forward to trying them out. This will be fun.0

I can't wait to hear what you think. I really liked the first one. Got Sweatin' to the Oldies 2 & absolutely hated it. I didn't like the slower pace or the moves, & I couldn't really even figure out half of what they were doing. Personally, I think the first one was filmed better and was easier to decipher. I'll be sticking with that one for awhile.0

I just checked and it hasn't shipped yet. They are still showing a delivery date of tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.0

I think my favorite routine is Proud Mary on Sweatin to the Oldies 4. I love the song, and it's just alot of fun!0

Sweatin 2 is definately not the best. It has the least aerobic workout, and Richard isn't his usual amusing self. I really like the other 4, though!0

Glad to know it's not just me with #2. I couldn't even finish it, I just turned it off. Whereas #1 I found fun, and actually did build up a sweat, so I don't feel like it's a waste to add to my routine. I've slacked off it for the past few days, as I moved to level 2 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred & it's attempting to kill me, but I'll be trying to get back into it shortly.0 -

Just ordered them today....does anyone else have difficulty sometimes with the camera work? When he says something about a move, but the camera only shows the top half of body and I'm not sure what's going on with the lower half.....0 -

YES, THIS! Exactly my problem. It wasn't so bad on #1, I could piece most together after the first full viewing... but #2... that happened all over the place and I was just lost. I thought the same thing. It definitely needs to be full body shots at the beginning of each new move. So funny.0 -
Ok, I finally got them yesterday.
Last night, I did STTO3, because that was the one that I used to own. It's been 20 years, but I still remembered some of the moves. I really like the songs on that one. Today, I did STTO1 and liked most of it. I didn't like that the warm-up was so long, it was 3 songs on STTO1. Some of the fancy camera work was really weird and unhelpful. I wish his cues were better. I liked the music and that it's a live band. I love that they have real people exercising with him. Some of the moves are hilarious, but fun. I like that the music is loud enough so that I can hear the beat, a lot of newer videos they seem to turn down the music so it doesn't compete too much with the instructor. Finally, the clothes were very interesting, I probably looked like that back then so I shouldn't say too much about the clothes.
Mostly, I like it and would give it a 3 out of 5 stars if I were to rate it on Amazon.0 -
Videos waiting on porch when I got home tonight....any recommendation as to which to start?0

I like Sweating to the Oldies 3. It really gives me a good workout. My favorite song on it is Rockin' Robin. I just love the movements of this one. Least favorite is the Name Game. Hard for me to keep up with all the quick changes.
I have had Sweatin' to the Oldies 4 for a long time, but just did it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Not really crazy about most of the songs on it, but wow, it really gives me a good workout.
Sweatin' to the Oldies 1 has always been one of favorite workouts, but it is short. I do it as an add on to something else I have done.
Sweatin' to the Oldies 2, is more for when I need lots of stretching and want to use some weights. It is too slow paced to get a good sweat worked up, but I do like the weight part and mat work on it.
So, I guess I can say, I love all of them. I am going to check out at Amazon and see if there are any more of his DVDs that I might like. Glad to have found this Group.0 -
This is my favorite.....Good balance of being upbeat without being too much. It's fun and the choreography rocks.
