Jane Fonda's Original Workout: Follow Along With Classic Step Aerobics | Tonic 

I've suggested that to a few and they didn't think it would be popular, lol. They're nuts

​@@madeleinegrayson8372 I'd sign up!

@@madeleinegrayson8372 a great deal of people are mainly conformers so once people start doing it they will all act like it is so cool and they always wanted to do it. LOL

They were sexy

YES!!!!! I would definitely be up for that!

Me too😂. I'm now 45 and want to have my kids try it with me

Same here!!! 💛

SAME.

How sweet! I have the same memory with my mom. Except it’s Richard Simmons dancing to the oldies :)

Same!

Shes a freaking traitor. A POW gave her a note that she gave to his captors.

its impossible!! my maths do not close!!!! you are younger than me!!!!

@@robinluich6626 no she didn’t. Google it and the first article is how that is totally false. Do your research before denouncing an icon like Jane Fonda.

@@robinluich6626 oh I never heard this before really ...

I wish I would do it very soon too. Beverly hills rules

This is actually 2 workouts. The beginner one is 30 minutes, the advanced is about an hour. :)

It's amazing to me that in my teens, I was obese at 120kg and used to do this workout 'effortlessly'. Decades later, I can't bring myself to do the warm-up, and I am at least 50kg lighter.

​@@homemail9653so this isn't effective?

​@@utrelfit's very effective, but it's also challenging. That's why it works. But you always need to be happy to start where you are. It's OK if day one you just do the warm up, or part of it. If you keep showing up, you'll see and feel the progress.

​@@homemail9653our bodies change as we age, but she was about 46 here. We can do a lot but we bring our whole lives before that moment with us to the class. Just go slow, be proud of what you do, and stick to it without overdoing it.

Most fitness classes were based around dance classes at first and it just carried over for a long time. Having grown up with this approach, it's bizarre to see thick beasts everywhere who can't touch their toes, lol.

I'm very flexible and do a lot of workouts like this. But I was also a Muay Thai kickboxer prior to having my son and worked everyday on my flexibility.

very important

​@@melindaroop1346 good for you? You're totally missing the point.

@@madeleinegrayson8372 what's wrong with thick breasts?

I lost 40lbs lol

3 inches off of my waist, 2 off of my thighs, and 1" off of basically everywhere else

congratulations, do you do the whole thing or just the advanced portion?

I have to agree. I did this 5x weekly, after school, when I was a chubby teenager and got so damn fit, I started teaching aerobics and then became a trainer. :) I still love these. Every so often I cycle them back into my routine. They're amazing.

@@lovelybydecay7811 that's so wonderful, good for you!

Yep, and did many more videos. The next one, and the Workout Challenge are incredible too. She came to exercise pretty late in life but fell in love and never looked back.

She's 44 here?! What a force of nature!

It's really effective and I find it a lot of fun to do.

40 years for me too, but I'd resurrect this every so often. I do kundalini yoga every morning, but might start doing this for fun later in the day. We both know it works so well. 😊

Amazing workout. We also had a nordic track ski machine and a mini indoor trampoline in the 80s. All three of those will get you shredded.

Yes me to all through my teens then iny thirties now in my 50s back at it again . Never felt fitter

The 1980s had a lot of fun stuff.

80s e 90's foram otimos!!!

Me too, I am a runner/swimmer/scuba diver in my spare time as I love sport. But today, I discovered this and tomorrow , after work, I will be doing those exercises in the park

What a coincidence, I'm a brazilian 19yo too :) I really like Jane's workouts, they're truly amazing.

Jane's was the best.

I trained with one of her original Jane Fonda trained trainers..Molly Fox. Molly was in NYC in the later 80s where she opened a studio on West 20 St. It was literally the church of Aerobics for several years....total high impact, everyone was downright crazed fanatics (me included lol).

How cool is that, too bad you can't let her k now this.

I was at that studio too!

your an inspiration

What age are you now 🤔

Your mom is right! I'm 54 now, spent 30 years as an athletic trainer, but doing this when I was 12-13, and then her New Workout and Challenge are why I got into a career in fitness. These are fun and they work so well. It's great that you found this and love it so much.

N don’t forget to breathe 😂

You didn’t look silly, you looked HOT 🔥.

You rock !!!!!

@@mehrmakhuram8672 Thank you, so do you ✊. If you’re a woman from this Jane Fonda era, then a whole lot of younger women have A LOT to learn from you about what being beautiful really is. That was the day and age of when you wore tights and leotards. Not for the specific purpose of trying to get attention from us men by merely showing off body parts. But because it was part of creating something of real beauty through aesthetic movement. Like ballet dancers with real class. The vast majority of younger women of today can’t hold a candle to any of you in terms of real beauty.

@@chrisulmer694 I'll DEF take it as a compliment. Great comment.

@@PassionJo777 You’re certainly welcome and much respect to you, Joanne Marshall. Don’t ever let yourself feel somehow feel inferior to the younger generational women of today because you’re most definitely not. Again, they’re the ones who should learn from you about what beautiful really is. I was only a kid during this era but I always wanted to be just like Mikhail Baryshnikov. Not simply because he was extremely successful with courting you beautiful women. But especially because he was a part of creating something of *AWESOME* beauty through aesthetic movement with the women that he danced with. That to me is what relationships between men and women should be all about. Instead, they’ve become much more about power, control, and manipulation and it happens both ways as both men and women now have a whole lot to learn from each other.

That's so wonderful and inspiring! This workout is very easy to modify as needed, it's based on ballet floor barre and Pilates anyway, so you picked a good one. I don't know you but in still proud of you for doing it!

So pleased that you have found joy and happiness after your challenges. Well done for persevering. God bless.🙏🏽

Madam u ahev done way more than I did in my 20s or young ones do these days. Don't worry about this jist focus on ur health that's all that matters.

Same here, on VHS tapes! I'm "only" 70 and have recently rediscovered Jane online. After the first session I felt as if I had a new lease on life! Keep it up and do the best you can, as I do.

your arthritis is the result of the exercises. Start yoga instead.

She has some recent video's that are geared more for "mature" adults...Still a great work out and she is very easy to work out with because she connects with her audience...I love them

I was just wondering if this might be a good and healthy exercise to do but if you get arthritis not sure now.

My warm up is your work out ! Said Jane.

😂😂

It certainly is.

LOVE THIS

yo I was 15 when I was doing my mom's tapes of this lmao I was pumped to find this on youtube. The energy is sooo good.

That's how I started. 52 now, still doing these and have been a trainer for 30 years. Welcome!

Hahaha m'y mom too !! She had the VHS and i was 6-10 yo and i loved to watch it (im 30 yo today). Nice days ! And i Will try this again :)

Same!! I still remember every move without watching 😭

Me too! I'm a bit older. I still have the workout book!!

Same! I'm 38. I can't wait to show this to my mom!

Same my mom had vhs too. I'm 36 now. Wonder where these plp r now

yes I totally agree. I dislike most gym/workout music that I've heard but I really like this!

Interesting. How long did it take?

@@itsjemmabond 4 years. But the last 2 I was the most consistent.

Hi Maggie hope you’re okay?

I am starting this as of today as I am almost 6 months postpartum, getting rid of that extra baby weight also 😊 looks so fun

No need when you have the original.

Why would you want to remake a classic?

I was doing these at 13 and knew how old she was but you don't appreciate how incredible that is until you're that age, lol. But I still do these and the old 20 Minute Workout, they're so effective and a lot of fun.

Wow unbelievable, she looks like she's in her late 20's-early 30's here! I guess that happens when you keep yourself active. Also, congrats on still doing this routine!!

Holy crow! I am barely getting myself into shape in my 30s and I dont think I could handle this yet.

She is only 45 there that's 1982.. not the later videos with the sparkly outfits. She was born around Christmas 1937 if that's correct.

​@HadrianGuardiola you can! You just gotta keep doing it ❤

I remember doing aerobics every Wednesday morning in primary school back in 1993. I was always the awkward kid in gym, but I'd been doing Jane Fonda with mum and Mousercise, so aerobics was the one activity we did for gym I just loved! This workout sure does bring back memories!

This is a sub?!

@@ccaselli7 nope, just saved the video. Why do you even care??

Whoa, 12 year-olds doing this workout in school, doesn't seem right. Moves a bit too sexy for that age! I hope it was in a room with only the teacher and the girls, at least.

Back then they didn't even think like that, it was considered exercise, not anything sexy. This stuff is fantastic for mobility and is only thought of as sexy if you think it is.

They were a serious workout for sure. I used to do them in my 20s. Now in my 60s, I think I want to do this just to see if I could keep up.

⁠@@geraldinecolvin8662you totally can ! I just did it with my mother, who’s 63, this morning. Granted, my mother is the most active person I’ve ever met, so she kept up easily (I had a little bit more difficulty), but it was so fun to do !

That's so wonderful to hear! I'm 52, a pro trainer, and still love doing these. Great classes.

@@katashley1031 Good for you!!! I'm 20 and I love doing her workouts and bess mota's workouts which I've seen a huge difference mentally and physically too! I find these workouts more effective than the workouts today and I'm not a gym person either but people make it seem like everything must be at the gym and thats the only way to be healthy then you see Jane fonda and it brings something different plus I actually enjoy working out now!

​@@0fficialselena__90ah, I did the 20 Minute Workouts with Bess and Annie 6x per week back then. This video was first, for me, then those, then Jane's 1985 workout video, and then the Challenge. That one's a killer! All fabulous and fun though.

And of course I had the VHS tapes.....

what a lovely message

Wow

Take care.❤

Our beautiful mothers - they're with us always.

God bless you. The comfort found in a mother's love is eternal. Treasure the memories until you do it with her again...and you will.

FOR REAL, my entire leg was trembling and aching like crazy just getting them up a few inches from the floor 😭😫

Better to skip the 80s and just watch it on RU-vid now.

Hi Ava! Aerobics is our favourite type of workout too - we love the results, and we love the 80s! Jane Fonda is the Queen!

​@@trixieloonah, as a Gen Xer I'm so glad I was a kid and teen in the 80s. We were lucky.

The 80's were the best.

Oh my goodness ! For old time sakes, for sure, yes !

This got me into fitness as a teenager and I ended up becoming a professional athletic trainer. And I still love doing these workouts. Her Workout Challenge is fun as well.

It comes right back if you're consistent and patient. ;)

а ви шукали?

@@greengreen8389 шукали-шукали

Никаких торчащих ягодиц и бюстов. Все подтянуто, естественно, женственной. А форма!

She did too, by about 1985 😊

Combines stretching with ballet and Pilates inspired moves, really works.

Well, here she only did a minute or two of jogging in place barefoot, the next video had a real aerobics segment. Both videos are fabulous though. I still know both by heart, lol.

Me too! Ended up teaching both and a lifetime in the fitness profession was born, lol.

Yes, it's fabulous. I'm 53, and these got me started on fitness as a teen, and then I became an athletic trainer. These workouts are still my favorite for my own personal health. They sort of sprang from ballet and dance classes. It's great to see so many people discovering the for the first time now.

Men's...not do much🤣🤣🤣

You seriously will! And quickly too.

It’s so long!

Lol me tooo and I saw results and I'm starting again at 66...this video is the best!

@@alexgoico 33 minutes, this video shows 2 workouts.

@@alexgoico That was my only issue with it, but I FF through it and saw that it 🔚s at 34:04, before repeating twice more. The commenter before me is right that it is three workouts, except the best news is that it is *the same one!* Not sure why this channel duplicated to gain a longer video, but I'm DEF willing to try it now that I know better! She seems to really 🎯 all spots, while also focusing on stretching and flexibility. *GREAT for us Gals❣️* 💯

È un ricordo molto dolce.

Dear hate to tell you she has had hip replacements, at least on one hip ; maybe both.

@@cjordan1161 Yup. And your point is?

@@jaguar4120 she said in an interview several years ago that she does not work out anymore. Maybe it was before the hip replacements.

@@user-uz2vc1gc6v well also at 84 everyone kinda has to get something done/a little help ^^"

@@tlynn7043 yeah, she also says she regrets the high impact cardio she did, but I'm 52 and it didn't hurt me. Different body types though. She's wiry and more prone to joint issues.

Yes! We had the book, then the record, then the videos. Still love them.

Well this is 2 workouts, the 30 minute beginner and the 60 minute advanced. Still challenging at first bhut so much fun and so worth it. We had the book, then the record, which my mother still has, and then the videos changed everything.

The video dropped in 1982, so if you had the record it was just before that. Unless you just got it later. We had that after the book too. Great music on it!

This doesn't feature aerobics really. It's ballet class inspired. It gets the heart going no doubt, but aerobics don't feature in her workouts until the New Workout in 1985.

You can also check out the Workout Challenge and Prime Time (Easy Going) Workout, both from 1984. Challenge has a 20 minute aerobic section but the program, as a whole, is geared for those who are ready to move beyond the Advanced section of this video. Prime Time has roughly 7-9 minutes of aerobics and is an easier workout than this program. It was initially marketed as an easier alternative to the original video. After the New Workout, the videos have aerobic sections that are either entirely low impact or offer the option to do low or high impact.

Yes, we had this class for credit too, 1984

These are so much fun and very effective. This is 2 workouts, with the beginner's set being about 30 minutes and the advanced is about 60m.

This is the video that started the home workout market. I was 12 when this came out, 13 when I started to exercise with it and never looked back. 😊 I hope you give it a try, it's a blast and really works.

He’s pretty sexy. Great body

He's putting in work lol.

Interesting… In general, we never really see these actors 😅

😂😂😂😂this was so refreshing to read. That’s what I love about these workouts

@@allybrosia3725 😅🤣

It's very challenging, a lot of fun, and incredibly effective. Started doing this 40 years ago and still love it.
