Yogi Moves

The wide array of work out DVD content is no different from that of work out videos. The only difference is that some of the DVDs allow you to do the exercise with or without the cheesy music (and with or without the instructor’s eventually-annoying voice). They will all be at least 30 minutes of the instructor demonstrating the fitness movements, but they won’t all have the same mannerisms and degree of intensity as other instructors on other work out DVDs.

You will find that there will be equally male instructors as well as female on-screen. They will have a wide array of personalities ranging from delightful and delicate, to rigid and intensely harsh. You will feel as though you are at a ballet studio for your pilates as the instructor compliments you every few minutes, or you will feel as though you are being drilled at a fitness boot-camp as that instructor yells for you to “push harder” for that last yoga pose.

If you are lucky and have gotten your hands on a decent work out DVD, you will feel either at ease, or pushed to your limits. The instructor on the screen will be in a staged area that will appear to be a dance studio, an industrial-like gym, or a beach on some island.

Most likely, there will be a group of other men and women alongside and behind the fitness instructor following the work out moves. This is to show you that you are not alone as you exercise in your home fitness center.

While these men and women are following the instructor, they are also varying the movements (the instructor should be pointing this out). The movements will range from an easy adjustment (for people with joint issues), to a very difficult variation (for people who want to push themselves even harder).

You might notice that in some work out DVDs, there is absolutely no sweating going on. Just happy smiles and glowing cheeks, but no sweat to be found. You might notice the opposite in other DVDs, where everyone is drenched from head to toe in sweat and struggling with some moves. That is all the decision of the director and producer to portray to you.

Overall, you will get a much better return of investment (or ROI for you business geeks) with paying a low flat amount of money for an entire work out DVD set, because the more you use it the cheaper each use will be. Eventually it will cost you pennies to exercise for an hour, as opposed to paying a large down payment for a gym and continuously paying monthly fees, gas refueling and commute time.

The added benefit to having a collection of different work out DVDs is that you can change the exercise up whenever you want! You can use the ab work out DVD of one program with a cardio DVD of another. Or, you can make a complete hybrid of two fitness programs to take your body to the next level of results.
