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.
#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.
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\’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: Easy on the Eyes.
Sure, it may be a frivolous concern, but there\’s something about a beautiful personal trainer (of any gender) that helps a lot of people get motivated. And there are a lot of great workout videos out there featuring some very beautiful ones.
