Jane Fonda’s Yoga Exercise Workout [VHS]

It was probably inevitable that Jane Fonda, who played such a defining role in the aerobics boom of the 1980s, would be on the yoga train as well when it started rolling in the 1990s. And on this tape (recorded in 1993), she does a good job of it. The focus is on the “sun salutation,” a connected series of poses that builds strength, flexibility, and balance, and with repeated practice this offers what Fonda calls “an excellent full-body workout.” The program is divided into three sections, any

This is the best video I’ve seen for a beginner to use for a great yoga-style workout. I cured my chronic lower back pain doing this workout 3 times a week! Jane is a wonderful teacher; she really pays attention to the all important details. It’s not traditional yoga, but that’s part of the charm for me. This workout goes much quicker than more traditional yoga tapes, which is great for those with limited time to work out!

“Jane Fonda’s Yoga Exercise Workout” is not only the most wonderful introduction to Yoga, but it makes you want to come back for more. Although I work out several times a week, I am new to Yoga, and was absolutly amazed at how I felt after just the first class. It gave me energy, improved my balance(when you get to be a “certain age”, these things start to dwindle), and
left me feeling like I’d done a real workout.Even my abs felt it!Jane encouragingly guides you through the three segments of this tape. In the first segment she takes you through the most gentle yet invigorating 20 minutes of stretching and toning in which you will also be introduced to the movements and the terminology.
There are times when the level of movement is increased, but Jane reminds us to just do the level we feel most comfortable with and there are insets showing the different levels we can follow.In the next segment you’ll be learning the Yoga Sun Salutation. It is a progressive routine that picks up the pace as it goes along, but again Jane let’s you know it’s okay to go at your own pace. This segment lasts about 15 minutes, but it’s a truly effective program.The last 15 minutes may be the most wonderful 15 minutes you can spend in a day. The time is spent strictly on relaxation techniques, that will make you feel wonderful as well as relieve stress. This is a section that you can do anytime you feel the need, as no warm up is required.I have had this tape some time now, and although it took me a few times before I completed the whole tape, each time I used it I felt a renewed energy and good about myself. Five stars to Jane and this class for turining me from a skeptic to a believer. I started out adding this just once a week to my work out program, I now incorporate it twice weekly and I really look foward to those days. It’s truly a great workout for any age.I also think you can’t go wrong for the price. If it’s something you’ve been wanting to try, you can do it without investing too much, and after a while if you decide you want to move on to a more powerful workout, this tape has given you a great start!What a Feeling!…enjoy…Laurie

This video may be very good for someone who has never done yoga before but after working with yoga even a little while I found that this video didn’t hold my interest. And I only used it a few times before shelving it for good. I didn’t get the challenge or the feeling of serenity that I get from other tapes, especially the Living Arts tapes. If you’re looking for a beginning video try Yoga Practice for Beginners.

I found Jane Fonda’s tape to be the best introduction to yoga. It was easy to follow, well paced, and offered beginner and intermediate poses. I found it much easier than Ali McGraw’s tape which had some pretty tough areas for someone just starting out. It was also very helpful for stretching out my lower back. Highly recommended for beginners.

What a wonderful introduction to yoga! Before trying this video, I was doing another yoga workout, and feeling awful because I wasn’t flexible or strong enough to do all of the poses properly. This tape allows me to work up to the actual poses, without hurting myself. Another winner for Jane Fonda!!
