Richard Simmons Videos

What are the opinions on the Richard Simmons videos? Good for beginners? What do you recommend to start out exercising? Also, for those of us who have vhs, where can you get some of the videos put on dvds? I have some old exercise videos that are vhs, but are not sold on dvds. Any commercial establishments that do this?

I Love the Richard Simmons videos.  They're low impact but they still get your heart going, not to mention he's great at keeping you motivated. I still have the VHS as well.

An excellent beginner video is Walk away the pounds by Leslie Sansone.  I purchase on this past Thurday and LOVE it.  YOu do in home walking.  You are able to walk a mile in 20 minutes.  It is convient because I put my shoes by my bed and keep the DVD in the VCR.  No excuses, get up and do 20 minutes of exercise to start my day.
