Conference rocks::weight_control

    I like some of the tapes from the FIRM. These and others are reviewed
    extensively in the Aerobics notes conference (ELESYS::AEROBICS).
    
    How hard a workout do you want? The FIRM tapes are not easy, but a
    beginner can use them and work up to the levels with weights. They have
    general workout tapes and a parts series, as well.
    
    If you can't find them in stores their number in the US is
    1-800-the-firm. They will not ship overseas, though (this mattered to
    me at the time I got mine.)
    
    I also had a Kathy Smith tape that I liked, but it's the wrong format
    for my VCR over here. There was nothing specially hard in it, but it
    got your heart rate up in the right zone, kept it there for 35 minutes
    and worked on every major muscle group (somewhat) for the whole thing.
    It also had a longer-than-average cool down with good stretching
    exercises.
    
    Also, just try a few at the local video store before you buy anything.

  Thanks for the info.  I never thought of the video store and have
    probably walked by them several times.   I will certainly look into
    that.  Thanks again!
    
    
    
    
    

    Hi,
    
    I have alot of workout tapes.  I recently purchased Richard Simmons'
    Disco Sweat and I like that one alot since I like disco music.  I guess
    it depends - what type of music do you like?  I get a catalog from
    Collage Video that just sells all exercise videos and they give the
    reviews on them, price, etc.  I try to remember to bring it in 
    tomorrow so I can give you the 800 # to call them and get a catalog.

    Hi Again,
