Exercise videos work. Why do they work? It is because exercise videos make it easier for us to actually exercise and stay on track. No more excuses like, "can't get to the gym", "no parking", "no time", "no money", "no space to put exercise equipment in" It's a simple yet effective way of easing in to a new and healthy you.

We are motivated to stay focused when we remove obstacles to getting fit. Doing exercise videos takes away the need to leave your house, drive, go through traffic/bad weather, deal with sales staff and makes it all easier. Clear an area, play your video and start working out whenever you can.

Squeezing large, heavy exercise equipment into our homes poses a challenge to most of us as well as paying for its cost. With a video, just play, watch and follow. No need to fiddle with buttons and program settings.

For the budget conscious, a video is ideal. After you buy it, there are no limits as to how many times you can watch it. A gym membership not only costs more and has hidden costs like gas, parking, travel time, but membership is also not forever.

Exercise moves can be difficult to follow from a book or magazine article. With a video, we have the option of replaying any moves we didn't quite get at our own pace as well as have the correct position visualized for us to follow.

Today, there are a wide variety of fun, energetic and even interactive videos to choose from. They come with simple instructions to encourage us to stick with the program and enjoy ourselves in the process.

The use of visually appealing models and easy, concise directions, not only guides us through the movements, but also serves to inspire us to reach our ideal body shape and size. Simple directions also make it easy enough to remember the moves even if the video isn't on.

So why do exercise videos work? Exercise videos work because they make it easy for us to keep working out. No more excuses. We clear a space, play the video and start working out anytime we can. No need to leave our house, no hassles. Easy to follow and best of all, we'll be on our way to a fit and fab body!
