I am 98 and have been doing this workout since I was young. Thank you very much!

[@caitlinkirsty-thomson712]

I’m 14 and I just done this workout with my mother who is 48 and I love it! This is my new form of exercise, I wish this would come back trending , I love it so much! Works good no matter the age! She keeps telling me this we a big part of her teenage years and I love that I have this connection with her, I love this! Would recommend! ❤

[@BenvanBroekhuijsen]

But did you wear the 80's sweat bands? Because unlike people mostly think, it is not about the exercises, it is about the great outfit.

[@lordcerrousV]

did*

[@wolverines_boneclaws5362]

You mean me putting on leg warmers and a Leotard! I'm a boy but dang do I look good in them!

[@BenvanBroekhuijsen]

@@wolverines_boneclaws5362 I am sure you look fabulous....

[@wolverines_boneclaws5362]

I'm having a bad day and we got in a car accident. And people are still mean to Rob.🪛

[@rozelliamatthews8598]

I'm 71 and i'm still doing this workout 30 years later.

[@elaine4585]

Same!!!

[@liliapichardo1729]

So glad for you!!!

[@cleanqueen75]

I’m 65 and I remember doing her exercise videos. I had the leotards and the socks. I was styling!

[@sayanalimana697]

And you're still are.

[@lizmackey6865]

😁

[@wolverines_boneclaws5362]

I'm a guy and I wer'e a Leotard to calm me down watching Jane Fonda videos

[@g5pigott]

I still crack up about the guy in the hat being there for comic relief

[@ultracalicokittycat]

this was before cell phones so he was trapped in that room overnight 😆🤣

[@NYChica23]

Real talk though...the guy in the hat is basically me when I'm in an exercise class

[@Meggs23]

We had this exact tape in my house as a kid. The hair, the outfits, the goofy character in the back... GLORIOUS.

[@josenieboer6248]

I've gotten this tape as birthday present as a child. I'm missing this workout routine. I have liked it so much

[@TerriMagoo]

Glorious!!

[@Claudia-lq3ns]

So did we. I remember that goofy dude in the back 🤣

[@StenoTimmy]

Here it is! My sister and mom had this tape as a kid and I joined in to be like the weirdo in the back.

[@Jachimma]

My god. I haven't seen this video in almost 40 years. Memories of doing this workout with my mum :)

[@rebeccapettiford5389]

Me too

[@GailSiebuhr-de6sb]

Yes did the aerobics classes. Looked my best ever

[@RinLingFu]

I am 27 years old. Year is 2023- I just did this routine. Its part of my workout program now. I love dancing and this was much more fun than regular workout videos. Thanks for uploading!

[@NikkiLove9022]

My mom had this VHS and used it to lose 50 pounds after she had my sister. I used to watch it when I was feeling lazy and not wanting to go to the gym. LOL

[@queencupcake09]

Watch lol

[@welshlady]

Used to do this when I was in late teens to early to about 24 years old. Well I turned 54 this week so it's been about 30 years. Shocked at how much of it I could remember and I managed to get thru it so well happy with myself!

[@TDRock8]

ME TOO! I did this regularly when it came out. I ran into my copy of it while doing some cleaning recently and I totally remembered it! Lol. Ah memories...

[@autumnmansfield1304]

I'm always amazed by how familiar the choreo is to me too

[@latoyarf83]

I remember this video. I was child working out with my momma. I loved it and thought it was so fun working out with my mom. I have this video as well on a DVD. We still talk about the workouts because Jane Fonda definitely worked us out lol. This video gives me added childhood, precious memories of my mother 💙🥰.

[@jonbaker1697]

32:10 when Janes says,"monkey plies" And baseball cap guys "startles" the group by doing a wild, loud, monkey call. Had me roaring with laughter

[@Ladykyra101]

As a child of the 70s, I loved the 80s. Best decade in, imo. 💯👑 Mom did these kinds of exercise videos and yoga with Raquel Welch. My younger brothers and I would do the workouts with her (well, we thought we were, Lol). Precious memories. Sigh. I miss those simpler times. 🥹

[@ninaza6806]

That Raquel Welch video is amazing and fun to watch and try!

[@paulaprice493]

This was the only exercise routine I ever did with any consistency and for quite a while about 30 years ago. But I started slowly, just the warmup at first, then added the cool down at the end, then slowly added bits of the main part until I was doing the whole 50 plus minutes. Almost every day, sometimes twice just for fun. I had the VHS. It’s never been available on DVD, and once I found a really fuzzy video. Thrilled to find this. Now I have no excuses. 🥴😬

[@lorettei3936]

I actually found it on DVD, it's wrapped nicely. I too used to do it everyday after work, my folks would vacate the living room for my evening fitness routine. 28 years later, the world is a place that I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams - all the things we've been through over these past 2 decades as a world - need I even list them WTC, "45", C-19, family who age and leave us etc etc. and stakes are way higher and it means so much more to stay healthy and fit

[@ninaza6806]

@@lorettei3936 I agree, it's amazing how many emotions a good old aerobics video can generate!! it also made me reminisce about our lives back then,' it seemed simpler yet we thought we were so hi-tech and glamorous, then thinking about the arrival of the internet and everything that has happened since this came out...! it's mind-boggling and makes me feel old. But with this video we can try to stay young and re-capture some of that vitality and excitement! :)

[@lorettei3936]

🤗@@ninaza6806

[@yolorodriguez4794]

My whole body was in pain from delayed onset muscle soreness and this workout was just what I needed. Thank you Miss Fonda.

[@Claudia-lq3ns]

A timeless classic! Still a great wrkout today as it was for me over 30 years ago :)

[@theaerobicschannel]

It really does stand the test of time as a fantastic workout =)

[@wolverines_boneclaws5362]

She looks nice.! :)

[@kristinLB]

Almost 40 years ago. Totally the height of the 80’s.

[@GigglesDaDevil]

I remember this because of the guy who was acting silly in the class. I cant believe I found this. I got in so much trouble when i recorded over this tape . GREAT TIMES

[@CarnivoreHeals2]

I never realized how safe and effective her videos were. The full body stretching portion at the beginning makes this one of the best ever. And with the goofy style and music! Amazing! 🤣

[@michaellaw1441]

I'm 36. I used to do this with my mom as a toddler. Even when I was too young to walk, the music apparently made me very happy. My Mom even swears that I used to kick in utero to this. Even now the music triggers an emotional response.

[@joypeaceandhappiness1501]

My mom used to do this when I was a child, looked silly to me then. In my twenties Jillian Michaels sprained my ankle. In my 30s I understand why mom did this now. Easy on the joints but great aerobics. Father time is undefeated

[@amyramsay6633]

I sprained my ankle and wrist last week so I too needed something gentle on my body.

[@1Letter23Numbers.]

That guy just jumped right in. Lmao She still looks amazing and is flexible AF. Life goals.

[@kosboot]

I did this workout religiously in the 1990s. I think one of the reasons it's one of the best is because the music (by "Joey Carbone") is so good.

[@smadm2437]

Omg those leos! Takes us back!!! And the music. Just wow.

[@Zoe-fu7bt]

I used to do this with my mom when I was a kid! What a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing!!

[@maricelaytona9910]

Thank u Ms Fonda, you are a great blessing.

[@sunnni_]

Finally did this workout and it was so much fun and I definitely felt the sweat and muscles working. Can’t wait to do her other workouts

[@rhiliquorish]

My mum had the vhs of this when I was a kid and I used to do it with her, then I did it again as a teenager. I’m in for a GS in a couple of weeks and will definitely be doing this again when I can!!

[@amandabernheisel9557]

The guy in the pants just may be my spirit animal

[@vduggan1001]

We should bring some of these outfits back to the gym!

[@larabethjones3038]

SO fun! Thank you for the timeless aerobics workout, Ms. Jane!

[@hisforharley2022]

*heart beating quickly* This should have way more comments. I'm like halfway through but this flu makes my throat dry and l have homework to do. Such a blessed break though. I've tried to follow a modern workout video but they don't explain and it's so frustrating. Here...well, it feels welcoming and familiar. First time trying this specific video, grateful to God that l found it. He knows how much l loved these wonderful 25 minutes. Reminds me of following workout cassettes when l was younger. I don't know if this is the same leader lady but still amazing workouts. I'm in my 20's but those were the days of being a kid and being able to exercise with ease. I look forward to this and to the start of a wonderful exercising journey.

[@sheilabloom6735]

I just got back into her videos: Start Up, Prime Time and this and I am amazed how the routines have become part of my DNA; my body just knows what to do; It's amazing.

[@geethavijayan1719]

I used to do this with VHS and even VCD back in the 90`s. Thank you for uploading this. Enjoyed this workout totally. Very easy on the joints and a great cardio routine.Happy that I could keep up.👍

[@hopeandlove9109]

Just did the workout!! Lots of sweating!! Awesome!!!

[@adaiyah-zerahbahtyahudah7860]

This was no joke! You got a good work out.

[@siriusvenus8708]

Jane Fonda should have played Super Woman insead of Linda Carter! Phenomenal dance routine/workout. Graceful to the point that it's like watching a dance instead of a workout. Very beautiful, strong and also instructional and inspiring. Thanks for the video. I used to take aerobics twice a day and my instructor (the head of the cheerleader squad at my university) was not tough enough on our class for me. I probably may not have been able to keep up with this class, though (or maybe). Very powerful to watch and I can feel the energy and it makes me want to study the moves.

[@obscurity3027]

I have this entire video memorized from watching it when I was 8 yrs old while my mom did the exercises. The monkey noise guy at 32:10 always cracked me up.

[@mariawiley356]

What a blast from the past… I had this vhs😂🤣

[@CmkAngel]

I did this workout for the first time today, and it was fun! My mom used to do her Workout Challenge in the 80s, on disc! I didn't mind the music, and Jane's outfit rocks! I'm adding this to my workout rotation.

[@nightbird5317]

Omg memory lane 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼

[@rujutap4001]

Ooooo... Wow! I used to do this low impact aerobics around 30 years ago.. my daughter was 2 year old then now she is 30. She used to accompany me and do as much as she could! Nostalgic.. She was now elated to have found this video here! We had a cassette of this workout and later on we had it burned on a CD. Hadn't found this one anywhere till date after looking for it everywhere! Thanks for uploading it here! :) God bless! 🙏🌹

Jane's voice is very soothing

[@marysolomon]

She also has a wonderful new series of DVD's that she created in her 70's. Love them.

[@ninaza6806]

Will have to check that out!

[@itsjemmabond]

VHS, you mean?

[@marysolomon]

@@itsjemmabond No - I meant DVD -- done while her age was in her 70's. (not from the olden days)

In my teens and twenties I did this video all the time. Now I'm 54 and do Leslie Sansone because I don't think my joints could handle this now 😂 Every woman in this vid is absolutely gorgeous !

This is all low impact though, very similar to Leslie.

I need a leotard now. Also, thanks for uploading, this vintage workout is fun and seems effective. Did it yesterday and I'm sore!

[@dantheman92317]

Straight up fox/one of the most beautiful actresses of the 20th century. Her exercises here I think probably helped her maintain her shape well beyond her 50s like here. I think because these exercises give a workout without being overkill like many workouts today are

[@TheSnerggly]

Much better than anything by Jillian Michaels, I can't keep up with her workouts.

[@kathleenprescott6227]

I did this video a lot in the 80s and 90s!

[@Knappa22]

Her costume is like something out of a Marvel comic! I love how American it is. We had Rosemary Connolly in the UK - worth looking her up on here to compare!

[@rpgadventurer32]

Marvel's "comic outfits" were influenced by these periods' fashions and even before that.
