3 Must Try Workout DVDs

 
Can't get to the gym, but you want an effective workout? While the gym is a great place to get in shape, it isn't always possible to get there everyday. Although the gym provides social and motivational benefits with a variety of equipment, classes and amenities, you can get in a great workout at home, too.

One option for at-home fitness is a good workout DVD. While there are certainly some bad ones out there, you will also find some quality workouts to get you results. It’s a good idea to have more than one, so you don't get bored.

Which Workout DVD Should I Buy?


When choosing a DVD, you should keep in mind the following factors:

  • Your current level of fitness. You don't want to start off overdoing it. You will just get discouraged, or worse, get injured.

  • Your fitness goals. Do you want to shed pounds? Develop muscle? Improve flexibility? Knowing your individual fitness goals is important.

  • Your preferences. You know what you like, and what you don't like. While it is a good idea to keep an open mind and try new things, you should avoid fitness DVD's that aren't "you." You won't use them if they annoy you.

To start off with, you may want to try some of the top-selling workout DVD's. They’re popular for a reason. If you don't want to commit to purchasing a DVD until you’ve tried it, borrow one from a friend, the library, or rent one on Netflix. Here are some of my "must try" fitness DVD's:

Chris Freytag's 10 Pound Slimdown

Chris is a renowned personal trainer and this DVD is great for the person who wants to get started shedding pounds.

Todd Durkin Beginner Gym DVD


Todd is another well-known and loved trainer who shares his love for fitness with his clients. He has a wealth of training knowledge and is worth checking out.

Dolvett Quince "8 Minute Body Blasters"


You may know Dolvett Quince from "The Biggest Loser" television show. This DVD is packed with moves that will not only help you shed pounds, but will also get those problem areas toned in no time.

A workout DVD can be a little like having a personal trainer right in your living room. If you feel like you need a little extra push though, an actual personal trainer can give you the boost you need to really reach your fitness goals.
