This tape contains a floor aerobics workout and a full body stretch. Jane Fonda is absent from the aerobics section , which is led by three of her instructors. The class is divided into two halves so that you can perform the moves at lower or higher intensity. The steps are fairly easy to learn. As I have two left feet and am not the most coordinated and graceful of people, this is always an important consideration for me. I still have a bit of trouble with one move, but even that isn't really difficult. (By the way, I notice on the cover that the choreography is by Jay Blahnik.) It goes at a fairly fast pace, with lively, enthusiastic music. The workout is not long - 25 minutes - but it gets me sweating and it leaves me feeling quite cheerful. The cover says it's for all fitness levels, but I'd say it's more beginner/intermediate level.

I bought the Personal Trainer series so that I would have some shorter workouts for days when I don't have much time, and I'm finding it very suitable for that.

The stretch section is one-on-one with Jane Fonda. This is a pleasant total body stretch, and my only comment is that it only lasts about 16 minutes (not the full 20 indicated on the cover). I think it would have been better if it had been a bit longer.

Instructor Comments:
The instructors in the aerobics section are very enthusiastic; the cueing is good.

Jane Fonda's soothing voice leads you through a flowing, relaxing stretch. She gives clear instruction on how to perform the stretches and where you should be feeling them.
