Langhorne Exercise Videos - Are They Better Than E-books?

By Jose Loni

The benefits versus consequences of exercise videos is an interesting topic. Exercise videos have been around for a while. For some, exercise videos are convenient, a lower cost alternative to getting fit, and a way for the shy ones to start a lifestyle change. But others feel that doing it alone at home with no one to keep the momentum going is easier said than done.

Remember the Jane Fonda exercise video craze? Or how about Suzanne Somers? And who can forget Richard Simmons?

They paved the way for the great selection of videos on pilates, yoga, tai chi, belly dancing and more on the market today. There's a huge variety of exercise videos out there and that's why they're still popular.

Exercise videos are convenient. For some, the effort of getting in their cars to get a workout is daunting especially if the closest gym is an hour away. Not to mention battling the weather or struggling through traffic.

Exercise videos are also better because they're more interactive and dynamic. Exercise moves set to fun music by attractive trainers keep viewers' interest high and inspire them to achieve their goals.

For those who prefer privacy, exercise videos are a definite pro. Starting a program can be awkward and if we're not used to certain movements or holding set counts, we easily get self-conscious and lose motivation. Add camouflage clothing versus sleek gym wear and we crawl to our home videos in great relief!

That said, there are the social butterflies who like the interaction they get in gyms. They prefer real time feedback from their instructors and look for encouragement and support from their peers. In fact, the setting inspires them to achieve their goals.

There are definitely benefits and consequences to exercise videos. Convenience, cost, self-image and social interaction are all factors that affect our choice, but whatever we decide to go with, the most important thing is to be aware of these factors so we can make the best choice for us. - 17269
