Are Workout Videos Really Better Than the Gym?
So — you can spend hundreds of dollars a month on a gym membership plus personal trainer, or you can download a range of great workout videos from a trusted source for next to nothing. Still trying to decide? Here are 5 reasons to go with the videos.
#5: Work Out in the Park, If You Want.
Instead of being locked into the gym itself, you’re free to go workout anywhere you want with a video. So not only can you do it in your own house, but it’s technologically feasible to take your workout videos on your iPod, head to the park, and do them there. Whatever you want.
#4: Get Instructions Without Queuing Up For A Trainer.
If you don’t know exactly how to do a certain move, you have to go ask someone at your gym. Trainers are usually busy, and even if they aren’t, there’s still a good chance they won’t know exactly what you’re asking. With good workout videos, the instructions (and alternate moves) are built-in.
#3: No Shame In Rewinding.
Ever had to re-ask a question about a certain exercise, over and over? Then, after the explanation was done, were you still not sure you had it right? Asking a trainer who you might not be paying $500/month to is only going to work so many times, whereas with workout videos, you can view them to infinity.
#2: Few Gyms, Hundreds of Videos.
A gym is a gym. Besides staff changes, major renovations, or the creativity of the trainers, it doesn’t change so much. Whereas with a set of workout videos, you can pick and choose from dozens (hundreds?) of different routines.
#1: Don’t Forget About the Gorgeous People.
Plenty of personal trainers are lookers, too — don’t get me wrong. But most of the men and women who appear in workout videos must be doing something right, and it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a gorgeous person exercising right there in front of you for motivation.
Fitness videos, nutrition information and sound advice is all you need to get you into shape and enjoy a fit and fine body!
