6. I work out at home with DVDs

Tue Jan 7, 2014, 08:21 PM

Jan 2014

I got fed up with gym membership prices (over $40/month for the few within reasonable driving distance) so switched to DVDs at home. More convenient for me, and in the long run cheaper after the up front investment in various videos- I like variety, so only having 3 DVDs isn't going to cut it for me.

Edit: The link to collagevideo.com isn't coming up, maybe it's registering as spam or something. You can search by types of workouts and the summaries list things like impact level and choreography complexity (great for those of us who aren't very coordinated). The video clips are great to see if it's what you really want.
