    OMG!!! Sweatin' to the oldies was sooooo much fun! I can remember doing it with my mom as a kid!!! If I had a copy of it, I'd give it shot every now and then for fun.

    I have his original sweating to the oldies and do them once and awhile. It does really make you sweat and a good workout in anything that makes you move and sweat. So I would say if you enjoy doing them and have fun with them, go ahead and do them.

    Not the only old school one -- Richard Simmons is the one workout my mom will do with me! He really is so inspirational, and his positive energy makes it more enjoyable :)

    I just happened to think of him when looking through Netflix vids to rent and thought I bet he has a great workout, not too mention he is funny. I got a copy of the 80's Blast Off in the mail today and can't wait to try it. Never used his dvd's b4.

    No reason you can't do old workouts. I love a really old Cindy Crawford one that I have !
