Exercise DVD’s are a great way to get your workout completed any time of day. You can put one in your DVD player and even workout in your underwear if you wish. You can usually find a quality video under $20. If you are strapped for cash then try the library. You can usually check out videos for at least one week.
Once you have your videos it’s time to ensure your workout success.
Step One: Plan your videos for the week.
You should know which videos you will be using each day for the upcoming week. It’s okay to do the same video more than once a week. Just try not to do the same video back to back. You can, but you will see better results if you vary your routine each day. Put a sticky note on each one that clearly states which day of the week you will be using it.
Step Two: Place your workout gear next to your bed or DVD player the night before.
This will save time and get you in the right mindset for working out the next day. Your gear should include workout clothes, socks, shoes, and a water bottle. You can fill the bottle up with water right before your workout. If you’re an A.M exerciser then you should be able to roll out of bed right into your workout shoes.
Step Three: Establish a set time to exercise each day.
Whether it’s early morning or after work, just pick a time and stick to it. The worst thing you can do is not have a set time to work out every day. Pen it in your calendar. Don’t pencil it in. Pencil markings can be erased. Treat this as important as an annual doctor’s appointment.
Incorporate these three steps and you’ll probably fall in love with exercise DVDs. With so many options available today, you could go years without ever doing the same video twice. You can even take it up a notch by using gadgets like the Polar heart rate monitor or Garmin 305 to gauge how many calories you are burning during each workout.
