Jane Fonda Workout DVD

Back in 1981, Jane Fonda took the fitness world by storm with her Jane Fonda's Workout book followed by a long series of workout tapes.  Now, Jane is back with Jane Fonda's Prime Time workouts, two new DVDs with workouts for baby boomer and senior women.  These new workout videos are destined to join the list of Jane's bestselling workout videos from the 1980s.

Jane Fonda Prime Time: Fit and Strong features two 25-minute workouts to help build core strength, improve balance, and burn calories.  Jane Fonda Prime Time: Walk Out features two one-mile walking workouts.  Both include aerobic exercises that benefit the entire body, and both are designed especially for baby boomer and senior women, those in the "prime time" of life.

These workout DVDs would make fabulous gifts for any active woman, mom or, dare I say, grandmother on your gift list this year.  If she loved the Jane Fonda fitness videos from 20-some years ago, she'll really appreciate these now.
