Paula Z's Exercise Video Reviews
Hi! I'm Paula
Z , exercise video enthusiast and ACE-certified personal trainer.
I've been working out at home with exercise videos for more than
a decade. Over those years my video library has grown huge as
I've indulged my mania for buying and trying new workouts. To
a FitVid-Nut like me there's nothing quite like popping a brand-new,
untried video into the VCR and discovering a motivating, enjoyable
workout to put into my training rotation. But as my fellow FitVid-Nuts
know, not every exercise video purchase turns out to be a satisfying
one.
Below are links to reviews of exercise videos that I've watched,
thoroughly analyzed and worked
out to. My goal is to help you choose your next workout by telling
you much more about the workout than you'd ever see on
the video cover . Web video stores and
video catalogs sell with sizzle! Using flashy yet vague descriptions
they can make any workout sound terrific. My goal is to help
you choose a video that won't fizzle! My frank and forthright
reviews outline each workout in detail, so you know what to expect
before you break the seal on that non-returnable video.
There's one more factor you need to consider before you begin
your workouts. I rarely follow any video workout exactly -- and
neither should you. Even workouts that I've rated 4 or 5 stars
have their shortcomings. You may need to make adjustments based
on your fitness level and your fitness goals. And sometimes you
also need to correct poor technique!
Many of these videos can be ordered online
at Collage Video
or Amazon.com.
