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 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.
