Summary: Rachel McLish is Positively the Best!!!
Comment: I remember when my parents purchased this tape a while back, and I remember adding it to my own routine when I was young.
I would do the upper body one day, then cardio, then the lower body after that.
I can guarantee that if you add this video to whatever you're doing in your routine, you'll see how quickly you'll be slimming down.
I have recently burned this video to DVD so I don't have to worry about the quality of the video diminshing with time.
I say that it's definitely worth it.

Summary: get educated and get strong!
Comment: I bought this VHS several years ago, and have never looked back. I alternate it with other strength-training videos and DVD's but it is my core (pardon the pun) workout for weight-lifting.
Here are some reasons I love this tape:
1. Rachel is professional and gives thorough, precise instructions. She tells you exactly what muscles you will be targeting with each exercise and how to maximize your effort. She explains and demonstrates each movement very carefully and in much detail before you do the reps. You get variations for beginning exercisers and good camera angles so you can easily follow along and see exactly what's happening.
2. Rachel is low-key and does not assume that the only reason you are lifting is for appearance's sake. (Of course, we cannot help but look at her wonderfully toned body and say, "I want that look for myself.") She is neither shallow nor spunky. What a mercy that is.
3. The exercises are divided into uppper and lower body (with ab) sections, so you can divide the workout to suit your schedule. I love the ab work! It is a short section of the tape, but super-effective. I also am so pleased that it's not a series of the same old crunches.
Here's a few things you need to consider:
1. you will need to warm up and cool down on your own.
2. there is not enough time allowed to do the stretches effectively. Just pause the tape so you can get them in.
3. once you learn the exercises, you might be tapping your foot through the instructions UNLESS you use that time to put in a third set of reps. Yep, it times out great!
I noticed how inexpensive it was to purchase this video from Amazon sellers and you really owe it to yourself to give this excellent tape a try.

Summary: #1
Comment: I have had this video from the time it came out. There was a time when I had some medical problems and couldn't work out. I have since started back and am getting back in shape with the "In Shape" video. This video is by far the best exercise video. I have worked out with the sweat, high impact, and very physical video's but the "In Shape" video by far gives me a better out come. I was looking forward to another video. In one of Rachel's special's, she stated that she was working on a series of these. I was wondering if they were ever published. I would love to get my hands on them. Like I said the video "In Shape" is #1. Please let me know if I can get more exercise video's. Also, Rachel, you are my idol. We are the same age and you look great. I have had 4 kids and have had some ups and downs but you still inspire me. What are some of your beauty secrets. You look great.
