The wide array of work out DVD content is no different from that of work out videos. The only difference is that some of the DVDs allow you to do the exercise with or without the cheesy music (and with or without the instructor’s eventually-annoying voice). They will all be at least 30 minutes of the instructor demonstrating the fitness movements, but they won’t all have the same mannerisms and degree of intensity as other instructors on other work out DVDs.
There are so many different fitness instructors that you will find when you pop the DVD in. There will be male instructors, female instructors, group instructors–all with different styles and personalities that show through the TV. It is definitely a wide assortment that ranges from a pleasant-sounding woman with plenty of positive feedback on your appearance to a no-frills-sounding man with nothing but tough love for your last 60 seconds of intense ab crunches.
It will be up to you on what you will consider to be a good work out DVD. Some instructors will make you feel at ease, or they will make you feel very pushed, and that is up to you on what you prefer! They will be all doing this from a staged set-up, whether it is a brightly-lit studio floor space or a dimly-lit industrial powerhouse gym.
Usually, the instructor won’t be standing alone. There will most likely be a group of men and women (depending on who the work out DVD is geared towards) exercising right alongside the instructor. They will be your guide as you may possibly feel alone and unsure of how to do the fitness moves.
This is also to provide you with the opportunity to relate to at least one or more of the people moving to the instructor’s commands. There will be some exercisers trying an easy version of a movement, while there will be others trying a rather difficult version.
You might notice that in some work out DVDs, there is absolutely no sweating going on. Just happy smiles and glowing cheeks, but no sweat to be found. You might notice the opposite in other DVDs, where everyone is drenched from head to toe in sweat and struggling with some moves. That is all the decision of the director and producer to portray to you.
The beauty of purchasing a work out DVD (or two, or three!) is that the return of investment is far greater than purchasing a gym membership. The more you use the DVD, the cheaper it will have cost you to use it! This is different than the cost of a gym, where you have put down a far larger payment and continue to make monthly payments afterwards.
The added benefit to having a collection of different work out DVDs is that you can change the exercise up whenever you want! You can use the ab work out DVD of one program with a cardio DVD of another. Or, you can make a complete hybrid of two fitness programs to take your body to the next level of results.
