Are Workout Videos Really Better Than the Gym?

January 22nd, 2010 Posted in Fitness

Sure, gyms aren\’t that bad, but they\’re expensive, and you aren\’t always guaranteed to find a personal trainer (or a gym) that you enjoy. You might also not be able to afford the insane prices some personal trainers charge. That\’s why we put together 5 reasons why workout videos will help you get in shape better and faster.

#5: Work Out in the Park, If You Want.

Don\’t be locked into the gym\’s schedule and opening hours. Instead, do your workout videos at home, at the park, or anywhere you want, really. And it doesn\’t matter if you feel like working out at 6am or midnight — the videos are always ready.

#4: Trainers Are Busy People.

If you need to figure out how to do a certain move, you\’ve got to ask the trainer. Now, there\’s no great substitute for one-on-one interaction — we\’ll gladly admit that — but trainers are often busy, overloaded, and bombarded with questions all day. A good video can often tell you just as much, if not more.

#3: You Can Rewind 50 Times, If You Want.

If you have to ask a personal trainer how to do an exercise more than 5 times, you might start trying their patience. Thankfully, with a video, although you might lack that face-to-face interaction, you can go back two billion times until you\’ve got the move perfect, and no one will ever look askance at you.

#2: There Are Thousands of Videos Out There.

If you aren\’t happy with your gym, you can choose another one, but unless you live in a major city, you often won\’t have so much choice around you. Whereas when it comes to some good videos, you\’re free to choose from thousands of great options.

#1: Don\’t Forget About the Gorgeous People.

Sure, it may be a frivolous concern, but there\’s something about a beautiful personal trainer (of any gender) that helps a lot of people get motivated. And there are a lot of great workout videos out there featuring some very beautiful ones.
