5 Ways Workout Videos Are Better Than the Gym.

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

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.

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

#4: Don’t Wait For A Trainer.

Sure, it’s hard to replace the direct contact with a trainer that you might get at the gym. But are you prepared to pay for that contact? If you’re just on a basic membership, it’s not always easy to get an overworked trainer to come over and explain 16 different exercises to you.

#3: Never Hurts To Double (or triple!) Check.

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’s Way More to Choose From.

A gym is a gym. Besides staff changes, major renovations, or the creativity of the trainers, it doesn’t change so much. Whereas with a set of workout videos, you can pick and choose from dozens (hundreds?) of different routines.

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

Plenty of personal trainers are lookers, too — don’t get me wrong. But most of the men and women who appear in workout videos must be doing something right, and it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a gorgeous person exercising right there in front of you for motivation.

Ready to jump in? With hundreds of workout routine videos and exercise plans available online, you can get you into shape faster than you can throw away your gym membership. Look online for some nutrition information too, it will help you to speed up the results from the body workout.

No More Ab Workouts. Ever. Here’s Why.

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

You don’t need ab workouts! Instead of doing real exercises to try and strengthen yourself the old-fashioned way, check out these 5, totally-viable, completely-not-ridiculous ways to replace them for good.

#5 Great Abs Are Out of Style.

All that beer you’ve been drinking, that belly you’ve been building up over the years? It’s finally time to shine, because you no longer have to hide it! It’s 2010, and fat is in, and you’ve got a free pass from the tastemakers and the trend-setters to let that fat belly hang right out of your shirt. Go ahead!

#4 You Don’t Really Notice Extra Fat, Anyway.

Sure we were just chatting about beer bellies before, but really, they aren’t a big deal, because your body has this amazing system in place — when you eat too much and develop some fat, your body just shuffles that extra flab over to some hidden little area that no one can see, like on your back somewhere. You’ll never look big to anyone!

#3 Beaches? What Beaches?

I know people talk about ‘beach bodies’ and getting in shape for the summer and all that, but really, come on. Who even bothers with the beach tomorrow. I think that if you take my word and just drive by any random beach this summer, you’ll find that it is very much empty, not full of anyone with a toned body or a sculpted physique.

#2 Buy One Of Those Electrode-Based Machines.

Wondering why you see all those ads for those weird, pulsating ab workout machines that attach to your stomach? It’s easy! They just really, really work! Seriously, there’s no issue at all with them being inconvenient, fake, or prone to breaking down. Nope, you just attach a bunch of awkward electrodes to your flab and blast it away, we swear!

#1 What Could Ever Be Wrong With Diet Pills?

Hey, diet pills have always worked, right? No one has ever gotten addicted to them, realized half of them are just sugar pills, or that the other half of them are wonderfully dangerous for your bodies and your health? Nah, no way! Pop those dangerous pills and bid “adieu” to those annoying crunches, right?

If you still want a well toned body, you better start doing a good body workout on a daily basis. Zuzana’s workout videos at Bodyrock.TV will guide you through the process of obtaining the results you desire.
