Donna Richardson's Sweating in the Spirit |
  Got Me Movin' |
| I recently rented your sweating in the spirit video to get my work out on. I watched it 2x's before I decided to get up off the couch. The moves are good, and I could hardly keep up in the beginning but I'm hanging in there now. I can honestly say that I have been sweating in the spirit 5 times a week for 3 weeks now. I want to thank you for getting me off the couch. Much Love and keep doing His work. God Bless You and Tom :-) - posted by Kelli on 12/13/2007 |

| A little confusing but fun anyway |
| This workout is not without flaw, but Donna is so infectious I can't help but like it. I do have trouble keeping up with the choreography in one spot - I think it is the triplet step - but when this happens I just dance around and don't worry about it. This tape really encourages that attitude for me. I have yet to do the toning segments. Aside from Donna, the highlight of the tape is really the music - it is so great to have real songs instead of vague cardio-elevator beats! - posted by Katy on 4/16/2007 |

| INSPIRING! |
| I love eveything about this video. It will inspire you as well as motivate you to keep on doing it. I feel good after this video. It is an excellent way to start your day. After three weeks I've already began seeing results. Good job Donna. The music is great!!! - posted by Chrisie on 4/26/2005 |

| Not so great. |
| The music is wonderful but the cuing is poor. Donna looks fab and the moves look like they would be a blast to do BUT if you are working out on carpet...not so smooth. I wish this DVD was easier for the beginner, but I'll keep on moving til I get the groovin! - posted by Rene' on 3/30/2005 |

| An Okay Workout |
| I originally bought the tape for my mom who is restarting her exercise program. Eventhough the tape is classified as a beginner workout, both my mom and I felt that the tape was a bit too advanced for her fitness level. I recently did the tape and found it to be an okay workout especially for days when you really do not feel up to doing a workout that is hard. The best thing about the tape is the music. I give it 2.5 out of 5.0 stars. - posted by Marie on 1/18/2005 |

| Frustrating and poorly cued |
| I did not like this workout at all. The cuing was terrible, the movements changed before she cued them and before I could even grasp what she was trying to say, let alone do! The only positive thing I can say about this workout is that the music was beautifully performed. This was my first Donna Richardson video and it will be my last. I feel that the other reviewers of this video and I are reviewing two different workouts because I just don't see how anyone, particularly a beginner, could view this tape without becoming frustrated by the lack of cohesiveness and instruction. - posted by Charma on 11/21/2004 |

| FANTASTIC!!! |
| This tape is super!! I really, really enjoyed this workout. It is really FUN to do! I liked it because the moves were not hard to do. The first time I did the tape, I knew this would be one of the ones I would be doing quite often. The energy from Donna and others is wonderful and really keeps you motivated. They all looked like they were having fun getting fit! I REALLY enjoyed the music!!!!! There is nothing boring about this tape. I also enjoyed the Pilates and stretching segments as well. It will definitely cause you to get up and move!! I am so glad I purchased it! - posted by Joyce on 10/21/2004 |

| Fun, Energizing, and Motivating! |
| This video, although not terribly challenging, was so much fun to do! I usually stay with step videos since I find general aerobics to get kind of boring. Not this one. This video is great for those who don't like complex choreography but still want to get their heart rate up. I have the DVD and actually did the aerobics section twice before going onto the toning and stretching. Not because I didn't feel like I had a good workout, but because I was having such a great time. Normally I'm a clock watcher. The music was GREAT and I don't normally listen to gospel. I highly recommend this video, especially for beginners or those wanting to add something different to their collection. - posted by Kim on 10/6/2004 |

| EXCELLENT October 2, 2004 |
| Greatest workout ever. This is the first work out tape I've ever looked forward to doing everday. I love it because it has all sizes. Finally a work out tape with someone larger than me. I love the live artists. It's very inspirational. I highly recommened it. - posted by DIANE on 10/2/2004 |

| "Another Great Video" |
| Well, I think Donna has done it again! She has made another great video.You know when I purchase an exercise video, first of all , I like to take a good look at the participants. As with Donnas other videos, I was very pleased at what I saw It was represented very well with different sizes, ages, genders, and races. I like that. This makes it real, and not like a rehearsed staged show. Hey, I can wear a size 6, but, I want to see other sized beautiful people out there moving too. They are an inspiration to me, and they just make me feel good.. They can certainly move better than me. Donna covers more space in this program as far as movement is concerned. Ive heard you burn more calories that way. She uses the arms a lot which increases the intensity, even if you are doing low impact..I was sweating and had to turn the AC up higher.I love the cool down. The stretching was unique in itself, along with the Pilates. She gives a nice peptalk and encouraging remarks about healthy eating and exercising. This is such a good way to get the exercising in while listening and even seeing some of these great gospel influences. Lastly, I just feel plain good after doing this exercise. Hey, I cant wait for the next one. - posted by NancySouth Carolina on 9/24/2004 |
