Long, Killer Workout...and Fun!
By mwreview
I work out with step aerobic videos 4-7 days a week, and this one is one of my favorites. I save this video for the weekend or days off because it is very long (1 hour and 22 minutes), but it is worth the time. The first segment is the step workout that lasts about 38 minutes. It has a long warmup and a very fun step routine. Cher and the gang obviously had a blast filming this workout, and it rubs off on the viewer. The music used is also cool ("Missionary Man" by the Eurythmics, "All Right Now" by Free, etc.) The cool down is very short, however. You do a few lunges and stretches and that's it. If you do the entire video though (which I would recommend), you get a better cool down at the end. The step workout is at an intermediate level. Nothing too fancy and only a few power moves which are optional (of course, the user can always add propulsion).

The second segment is a ten-minute ab workout. On many aerobics videos, additional ab routines are very short (maybe 3 or 4 sets at 8 reps each). This ab workout is ten minutes non-stop with very tiny pulses. One of the best ab routines I've found.

The final segment is by far the toughest. It is 32 minutes of leg toning. Squats, lunges, leg raises, you name it. The first part of this segment is the most challenging. You will feel the burn big time! Once you get to the leg raises, it gets much easier but still challenging. The last part isolates the inner thighs. Instructor Keli Roberts does an excellent job explaining proper body alignment for each of the moves. Finally, there is a cool-down stretch (you'll need it). Cher is there through the whole video and adds her own comments during some of the segments. New Attitude gives you an all-around, full body workout!

After 11 years, this is still the best video workout
By A Customer
I'm on my third copy of this tape, and after 11 years, this workout is still the most complete, effective and fun to do. Although Cher and some of the others in the tape are the pinnacle of body sculpting, there are others on screen that represent more down to earth body types, and the workout is clearly explained and presented at all fitness levels. A step adds to the intensity, but all the exercizes can be done on the floor.

Keli Roberts, the instructor, is exceptionally informative and inspiring, and the moves are challenging, yet uncomplicated enough for beginners, including clutzy beginners, to learn in a short time. And the routines are fun and imaginative enough to inspire the most advanced users. Cher and friends have some lively kibbitzing going, and do a good job in keeping the video unintimidating.

When compared with other tapes, this workout is excellent in its thoroughness and emphasis on breathing and safety. A BIG plus is that it uses "real" pop music, and Cher's tunes aren't even half of the numbers included; songs like Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacherman" add to the fun. When compared to the canned, cheezy synthetic music on other exercise videos, this tape rocks.

I couldn't recommend any other tape more highly.

Non Cher Fan Loves It for Abs
By Dawn M. Mikulich
I am so not a Cher fan. In fact, I don't even remember what made me buy this tape several years ago.

I do know that I have never found a more concise, effective ab workout on a tape before. I've never really used the other programs on the tape as I do other aerobic activities. I was basically looking for guidance in toning my abdominals.

This tape is perfect for that. The ab workout is 10 minutes, but will leave you feeling like you accomplished something and you really do. It's the one tape that I keep putting in the VCR. I only wish there was a DVD version so that I didn't have to keep rewinding or fast forwarding to the desired section.
