Exercising at Home: Stream the 5 Best Online Workout Videos
Let’s face it: the gym isn’t for everyone. Maybe you’re an introvert or a homebody. Perhaps you don’t want to spend the money, or sign up for a lengthy contract. Maybe it’s just inconvenient. Whatever the reason, you have plenty of options for exercising at home that don’t involve the gym and can be done in the privacy of your living room. While getting into the Great Outdoors is usually a lovely way to work out, during the hot and/or smoggy days of summer, you might rather stay inside.
Streaming workouts are perfect for people who want to try some of the same trendy classes offered at the gym, but do their exercising at home. Most cost around $10 per month and are updated all the time. Try the following online workouts to see which fits your fitness goals the best.
1. Udaya – Most yoga videos don’t give enough instruction, and you can hurt yourself if you don’t do the poses right. Not Udaya. For $12 each month, this workout rivals in-person yoga classes and features pre-pose instruction for difficult poses. Workouts range in length from five minutes to one hour, and you can choose your workout based on difficulty level. Enjoy unlimited access to the library of HD yoga classes.
