AEROBIC
VIDEOS
Aerobics classes at the fitness center are a great way to stay motivated, to burn
that extra fat and to get a good workout. Not everyone has the time or ability to travel to the gym for classes or
the
classes may not be scheduled at times when they are available. This does not have to keep
you from getting a great aerobic workout.
You may already have the resources you need buried somewhere in a storage area of
your home gathering dust; aerobic videos.
Why are these videos gathering dust in many of our homes and how is it that some
people find such great success with aerobic videos?
The blame is not really on the aerobic videos but on the person they are intended
for; it is all in the attitude.
Having the right attitude regarding exercise in general will help you to find the
enjoyment in what some feel is grueling work. With the right attitude you will have success and those videos need
not gather dust any more.
You will be able to plug them in, move your body with them and reach your goals.
With the motivation that comes from deep inside you a brand new attitude can be found in your aerobic
videos.
Remember to set realistic goals and start slow but effective. You may find yourself
burned out quickly if you try to jump into a daily exercise regime. Starting with a goal of working out every other
day and taking an additional day off is a good place to begin. Additionally, starting with a two hour aerobic video
may be too much, try working out for 30 minutes in the beginning and you will find you not only build your
motivation but also your confidence and abilities.

To fully enjoy your aerobic videos and make them as effective as possible you will
need to make sure you have plenty of room to do the workout. It will not require a full 10’ x 10’ space but you
will need an area that is clutter free to move around in.
Begin your new found motivation by setting a time that you set aside for your
workout and select the video you will use for the day. Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after
your workout as well.
You may not be exhausted by the end of the workout and you may not be sore the next
day, resist the urge to up the intensity until the planned time, this will help you avoid that burn out.
Finally, set yourself up with a variety of aerobic videos that include different
styles as well as different intensity levels to change things up and keep it interesting. Boredom is one of the
biggest motivation killers. Having choices and fun exercises to choose from helps keep that boredom at bay and help
to ensure your success.
