This is another fun workout that I can’t do. (What an opening to a review!)

This was my very first Richard Simmons workout. The production is great, the music is fun and the “cast” is having a good time. Sadly, Richard has an eccentric way of cueing (or, NOT cueing) that I couldn’t follow.

Now, I knew about his lack of cueing going in. But - I live in hope. I have weeded out most of the workouts that highlight my choreography-following ineptitude. Once in a while I give dancy stuff another try...

There is a nice warm-up, long cardio section, and an abs section that was harder that I would have expected. And a long cool-down stretch.

This workout would be great if you have a high tolerance for just winging it on your own. But, I figure , if I’m just going to do my own thing, I may as well use my music with original artists . And not feel like a klutz! I will send Richard to a new home where he will be appreciated.

Instructor Comments:
I like Richard. The King of Motivation. I wish he cued better.
