*** “Workout to Win With Virginia Wade.” Academy. $29.95.
This 70-minute presentation really is a winner. Combining tennis tips with aerobics, stretching and weight lifting, this training tape should develop endurance, flexibility and strength. Former Wimbledon and U.S. Open champ Wade hosts and offers training tips on and off the court. If there’s a quibble, it’s that Wade isn’t on screen enough. For aerobics, she introduces a pal at the Aspen Fitness and Sports Medicine Institute and then exits for the entire workout. Other times, her trainers do the talking, coaching Wade through rigorous sessions aimed at toning up specific muscles used in tennis and racquet sports. Move over, Jane Fonda, here’s someone who’s going for the burn--of the opponents. Information: (800) 972-0001.
