This 1991 Fonda workout works the lower body in two ways: 35 minutes of low-impact aerobic dance with some step, then 25 minutes of targeted conditioning for the abs, buttocks, and thighs. The whole workout is well choreographed, well instructed, and accessible to beginners.

Fonda starts by giving basic directions for exercisers new to stepping. Then she bows out and a variety of energetic, capable instructors alternate teaching segments of the aerobic workout. They use the warm-up to pre-teach many of the moves you'll use later, so although the aerobic section has a lot of dance choreography, it's not all unfamiliar, and each move is repeated often enough to get it easily. If you prefer not to use the step at all, several participants show you how to do the whole aerobic workout without the step. For more intensity and a harder workout, you'll want to follow the instructors using the step. Fonda returns to teach Part 2 herself, starting with traditional lower-body floor work, mainly many variations of leg lifts and abdominal crunches, followed by a stretch.
