I’m one of the fans of Richard Simmons diet and his aerobics DVD, “Sweatin’ to the Oldies”. I’m not being so biased here. When I first tried it this year, what actually enticed me were the rocking musics from the 70s (you see, I’m also an avid fan of old music.)

Anyhow, as I follow his steps, it was really easy and full of fun. Even my mom and sister had joined me because of the music and the easy steps he teaches to the viewers.

As we follow his steps, we were also wondering why all his back up dancers are chubby, overweight and obese. This is something new as compared to my other aerobic DVD’s wherein all the models are slim and have  toned bodies.

I guess you’re thinking – how can we be motivated if we were seeing those bodies every time we plan to dance together with his steps? Yes, there are also slim people there but only a few and the majority are like mostly in their 40s and 50s.

Even so, you can see the happiness of all those involved as they smile and enjoy following Richard Simmons lead. Richard’s natural “humorous yet motivational” spill will leave you smiling through the whole program.
