How Come Workout Videos Are So Much Easier Than Going to the Gym?

By Jim Thomas

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: Anywhere, Anytime.

You don't have to travel all the way over to the gym and deal with their opening hours. Instead, you can do your workouts whenever you want. Hell, take your workout videos to the public park and do them there -- no one's stopping you!

#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.

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: There Are Thousands of Videos Out There.

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: Easy on the Eyes.

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. - 30414
