The sleek and small HJ-151 simply clips to your belt before you head out for a walk. Or, wear it throughout your busy day to find out just how much walking you're doing in a typical day of work, errands, and play. Note that the HJ-151 must be positioned correctly; it must be horizontal to the ground in order for the unit to function accurately. The device counts your steps and then saves the information for up to seven days, letting you review a full week of exercise. The HJ-151 resets its internal step counter at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. An easy-to-read large display also features a clock so you've always got a timepiece at your side.
The HJ-151 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last approximately one year when used for walking 10,000 steps a day.

LIVE AND MURDEROUS IN CHICAGO - DVD Movie![Firm: Complete Aerobic Weight Training [VHS]](/51TGWEVCVRLSL500.jpg)
This 52-minute video from 1992 combines low-impact and step aerobics with strength training. You keep the heart rate elevated for fat burning and cardiovascular conditioning while working the muscles. Jayne Poteet leads a class of fit exercisers of varying ages through a workout that's as tough as you want to make it, depending on how heavy your weights and how high your step. The aerobic moves are basic--no patterns, no complicated footwork--so beginners can manage the workout. The strength moves are sometimes combined with aerobic moves and sometimes isolated, and they are done slowly for safety and effectiveness. This is a well-designed workout except that the largest upper-body muscles (chest and midback) are left for the end (they're most efficiently worked early in a workout) and the shoulder presses start behind the neck (they're safer starting in front of the shoulders). Poteet includes both upper- and lower-body strength moves, but emphasizes the lower body. You'll need a barbell, dumbbells, a tall (14-inch) step, and a medium step. --Joan Price![Sweatin' to the Oldies 2: An Aerobic Concert with Richard Simmons [VHS]](/51602ZMDP2LSL500.jpg)
With his church-derived tenor voice, his suave, onstage demeanor, and his excellent taste in clothes, Harlem-born vocalist Freddie Jackson was the most dominant black male singer in the '80s after Luther Vandross. His eclectic mix of sass and class is evident in his live shows and on his many singles, which were staples on the urban contemporary/quiet storm radio stations. On this Black Entertainment Television concert, Jackson struts his stuff for the ladies and delivers his best-loved hits, from the torchy and tempting "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)" and "You Are My Lady," to the sophisticated funk of "Jam Tonight." Freddie Jackson is an animated performer, in complete control of himself and his appreciative audience. This concert, which also contains an intimate "Meet the Artist" interview segment, showcases the full range of Freddie Jackson's urbane artistry, and it proves that there's nothing more enduring than a well-written and well-performed love song. --Eugene Holley Jr.
