One of the best channels for those looking for circuit training is Lionsgate’s BeFitin90, which offers a 90-day program of strength, cardio, yoga and athletic drill workouts. If you have a big appetite for fitness but a small budget for it, YouTube is a great place to find instruction. Moreover, as these videos are tied to Gaiam’s DVD releases, the workout library isn’t updated as frequently as some other sites.Ĭost: Free. It’s a great site for beginners and intermediate exercisers, with top names and solid programs, but those looking for bigger physical challenges might be disappointed. While yoga routines make up almost half of Gaiam’s exercise content, you’ll also find other household fitness names such as the Firm, Jillian Michaels and Leslie Sansone providing cardio and strength routines, as well as a few “vintage” workouts from the 1990s that are heavy on the headbands and leotards. In addition to the workouts, there are thousands of “conscious media” videos, including health talks and inspirational videos from the Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer. With more than 900 exercise videos, including yoga, Pilates and weight training, the site should keep even the most avid fitness enthusiast busy for a while.īe advised: There’s a lot more to this site than fitness. If you’re after a big collection of high-quality workouts, you might consider GaiamTV. Here, you can loosen your hips with a 60-minute Kundalini yoga class, take a 10-minute session in relaxing your neck or unwind with a 15-minute breath meditation.Ĭost: $9.95 monthly. Overall, it’s a good way for most people to start an exercise program and find the variety to stay motivated, as the site’s workouts are updated weekly.Īnd for those more interested in cultivating fitness through yoga, there’s FitnessGlo’s sister site, YogaGlo, which serves up practices from some of the nation’s most respected instructors for $18 a month. The site also offers Click & Glo workouts, which offer a combination of cardio, strength and stretch moves for those viewers who want to put all their fitness needs in one workout without thinking too much about it. Nevertheless, members can view as many videos as they want, selecting workouts based on style, level, duration or teacher. (The videos are shot against the bare white walls and light floor of FitnessGlo’s Santa Monica studio from what appears to be a fixed camera position.) That means there’s no zooming in to illustrate the instructor’s form or expression, which can be off-putting. However, the production value leaves a little to be desired. The instructors here are top notch, including Amy Dixon, Michelle Dozois and Petra Kolber. Fitness enthusiasts of all levels will appreciate this site, which streams fitness videos from five to 45 minutes across genres, such as dance cardio, circuit training, step aerobics and weightlifting. While there are modifications and cues on form, beginners or those with old injuries might find a large number of these workouts too challenging.Ĭost: $12 monthly. Moreover, many of the site’s workouts are best suited for those with an established fitness routine. it does not how much of each constituted a reasonable portion size. While it tells you what items to eat - beans, rice, avocado, etc. However, I found this area lacking the specificity to be really helpful. The site also features recipes and information on menu planning. There are cues at the bottom of the screen to prepare you for the next move. This information is used to track your calorie burn (which flashes on-screen periodically) as well as your fitness progress, which you can compare to others in your age group. (You can also choose your own routines if you have favorite trainers or types of routines.)ĭuring the Intelliburn workouts, you enter stats on the screen, including your weight and number of repetitions from that day’s one-minute challenge, which might include sit-ups, push-ups or burpees. You choose a program - from the Move! Dance workouts, the DB15 express routines or the main Intelliburn system - and the site selects workouts for you each time you log on. A related app also lets you play them on your smartphone or tablet. You can stream a range of high-definition workouts, including kickboxing, strength training and Latin dance.
