Bucks County Exercise Videos - Benefits vs. Consequences

By Jose Loni

Exercise videos are here to stay. We like them because they make our lives easier, are inexpensive, and allow us the privacy to ease into a healthy lifestyle at our own pace. But what are pros for others become a major con for some especially those who need a more social environment to keep them going.

Exercise videos like Jane Fonda's, Suzanne Somers' and Richard Simmons' have been very popular in the past.

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.

What about the cost of the workouts? At an average of U$20 per video, doing the video 3x a week for 2 months gets you back its retail cost. But gym memberships entail a bigger lump sum output with hidden costs like gas, parking and drive time.

In addition, videos allow us to go at our own pace especially when there are certain moves we need more practice with. We're shown how to do it correctly and we can also pause the video at any part and keep repeating the section if we need to.

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.

And so, the pros and cons of exercise videos have been laid out. We love their no-trouble, low maintenance quality, low cost and privacy options, but we do have to consider the lack of social interaction aspect of it. We need to evaluate our preferences in order to make the perfect choice for our lifestyle. - 17273
