Video - Moderate Cardio Workout

This workout may not feel "moderate" to some, but if it's too much, just do 1 set - it's only 4 minutes long - you'll probably be sweating already!  Then play the clip over again when you're ready to add more.

And be sure to warm up first, as there is no warmup included in this video, and that is very important before a cardio workout. You can start with some gentle jogging in place, a few jumping jacks, then stretch, and you should be good to go. Go easy your first time, and stop to rest if you need to. Be sure to breathe throughout. And remember to cool down and stretch when you're done! (Watch it through once first, as there are no verbal instructions, so you have to watch the screen for the cues.)

Getting the Most out of A Fitness Video

Home exercise can be more fun when done with fitness videos. In fact, I am pretty much a fitness video addict by now!  They are so fun, convenient, affordable, and there is such a huge variety out there, I never get bored. When I get tired of one, I just switch to something different for a while, and keep mixing it up.

Here are some of the great benefits of working out with fitness videos:

• Fitness videos are created for home use. Doing workouts at home can be a great alternative to visiting the gym.  For one thing, you have the flexibility of scheduling your workouts when they are best for you. You can do your workouts anytime that is convenient for you, without worrying about how to deal with the crowd of exercisers in a gym. You don't need to wait for the equipment, meet every scheduled class, or worry about what to wear and how you look. Each fitness video can be used as many times as you want without any additional fees. You can also save money on gas since you won't have to drive to the gym.
  
  
• Fitness videos are available in an incredibly wide range of different types of workouts including strength workouts, aerobic workouts, a combination of these first two types (circuit workouts), stretching, yoga, and even mental exercises like meditation. These workouts are also available in different styles which include step aerobics, dance aerobics, Pilates, jump rope, and kickboxing, among many others.
  
  
• Fitness videos are flexible. There are fitness videos for beginners, intermediate, or advanced fitness levels. Many videos even have multiple levels on one video - you pay for it once, and start at the beginner level, and then move up to the next level when you are ready, as it is already included on the DVD. People can also choose videos for particular purposes including workouts for children, for pregnant women, for seniors, and for individuals affected by back pain.
  
  
• Fitness videos often don't require any fitness equipment. Some suggest optional equipment, and you can also find fitness videos which require basic equipment such as rubber tubing, stability balls, mini-trampolines, aerobic steps, body bars, free weights, or even multi-stationed home gyms, if this is something that eappeals to you.
  
  
• Purchasing fitness videos is easy. These items can be found on the internet, department stores, and catalogs on fitness equipments. Shopping is very convenient and effortless. However, keep in mind these three tips:

-    Get fitness videos according to the type of workouts you really enjoy. If you don't like the type of workout, or you find it too difficult, you won't find it fun, and it will be very difficult to stay motivated to continue.

-    Select fitness videos that will meet your fitness goals. For example, if your objective is to overcome stress then tai chi or yoga videos may be good for you; if your goal is weight loss, then aerobic or dance videos will be what you need; if you have previously done aerobics classes, then more advanced dance choreography videos will be fun and challenging.

-    Consider the space needed for doing the exercise. Choose fitness videos that will fit your available area. Aerobic videos need a bigger space compared to yoga videos. Doing aerobic exercises requires forward, diagonal, or backward movements, while most Yoga and Pilates workouts just require enough space to stretch out on the floor.

Fitness videos are good tools for helping people get the right amount of exercise even at home. Structured routines are often given, and they provide various types of exercise in various intensity levels.

Fitness videos can be very effective you use them. But remember it's just a waste of money to buy one and put it on the shelf. Pop one in, turn it on, and get up and moving! You may just find fitness videos as addictive as I do....
