Are exercise videos better than e-books? Technology has advanced so much in the past few years with email, e-books and anything internet-related. Despite that, exercise videos are easier to access and better than e-books. They're also more dynamic and interactive and allow us to accurately go at our own pace with simple steps and great visuals - something that an e-book can't do.
Remember the Jane Fonda exercise video craze? Or how about Suzanne Somers? And who can forget Richard Simmons?
Nowadays, there's belly dancing, pilates, yoga, tae bo the list goes on. No doubt exercise videos have made their mark on us that's why they are still around.
It is more motivating to exercise when there aren't any obstacles to discourage us. That's why exercise videos are better because they are very accessible. No technological issues to deal with. Just pop in and play the video anytime you're ready.
Exercise videos are also better because they're more interactive and dynamic. Exercise moves set to fun music by attractive trainers keep viewers' interest high and inspire them to achieve their goals.
Then there are those who are still trying to get used to the routine of a workout. For many, the exercise movements may be awkward especially for those who are overweight. Some can't get into the positions, while others can't last the number of sets required. Others are self-conscious and embarrassed to show up in their camouflage workout clothes as compared to the regular lulu lemon gym rats.
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.
