Title: Maybe OK if you're a beginner -- but SO dated!
Product review: I LOVED Jane's original workout (now out of print) and used it for years. I might still, if it were available on DVD. But I didn't like any of her subsequent workouts, and about 12 years ago I graduated to The Firm tapes, which are better in a lot of ways and certainly more effective, especially for the upper body. Still, I wanted to give Jane's workouts a fresh look and thought they might be worth owning for "lighter" workout days. But sorry, this one is too easy -- especially the very low-intensity aerobics -- plus the 1980s perms and tacky outfits are the WORST, and there is too much silly whooping and sound effects from the cast members. On the plus side, Jane does give excellent form pointers, and this is a good intro to weight training if you've never done it before. So, if you're a beginner and not bothered by whoops and "Yow, baby"s and jungle-print leotards with matching headbands, you might like this.
