Do any of you use aerobics videos and do a workout that way? If so, is that the only workout you get, or is it in addition to something else?

I ahve two Richard simmons tapes that I use more frequently in the winter or when I cant make it outside.

I have instrructional books from Pilates,

I have a few Richard Simmons videos, too. I find that I can keep at the aerobics better when I'm not bored AND when there's not a fully trained and 105 pound instructor on the video... these are just "regular" people for the most part and... well, I certainly never get bored watching Richard!

Watching a Richard Simmons video I think is very inspirational as they use real people and you don't get discouraged as bad because you don't look like the "girls" in the other videos.

Yes, right... and the workouts aren't totally impossible to
keep up with, either. He chooses good music, too!
