5 Reasons Why Workout Videos Are Easier Than Going to the Gym

What’s better, going to a gym (or getting a personal trainer), or following workout videos, be it ones you’ve downloaded online or purchased?  Here are 5 reasons why the videos will serve you better in the end.

#1: Forget Those Inconvenient Opening Hours.

Instead of being locked into the gym itself, you’re free to go workout anywhere you want with a video and at any time you want. 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, whenever you want.

#2: Get Instructions Without Lining Up For A Trainer.

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: There’s No Shame In Rewinding.

No qualms about rewinding workout videos over and over until you get the exact move down pat. Some qualms, however, about asking a personal trainer — over and over — exactly how to do your favorite move.

#4: A Few Gyms, Hundreds of Videos.

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.

#5: We Can’t Forget the Importance of Beauty.

Hey, I’m not saying there aren’t some beautiful people at the gym. But most trainers who make workout videos — be it men or women — aren’t too shabby to look at, either. While exercise is still the crucial thing, there’s nothing like an attractive trainer to keep you motivated.
