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.
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: Don’t Wait 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: Never Hurts To Double (or triple!) Check.
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.
#2: There’s Way More to Choose From.
If you pay an expensive personal trainer, they can tailor a program to you. But if you’re just going to the gym, you might have to figure it out on your own. Whereas if you tailor a program of workout videos to yourself, you can get the best (almost) of both worlds.
#1: 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.
