Online Exercise Videos?

I enjoy changing up my workout, but I don't have an unlimited supply of money, exercise videos, or a gym membership.  I've found a few resources that I thought I'd share with you, and maybe you know of a few that I could use.

Netflix.com - If you have a netflix membership, you get to watch an unlimited amount of videos online.  They even have exercise videos you can watch.  This is one I use often!

Exercisetv.tv - This is from on demand from cable.  I don't have this, because I only have basic cable, but they still have a few videos online that you can do.  Full length videos as well.  I only use a few from here.

That's all I've got for you.  Do you guys have any resources?

i've watched alot of videos and took classes. What i have done is turn my music on and do my favorite moves to it for atleast 30 mins. I have fun, it boost my energy and i don't have to pay for it. We all know what we need to move to get what ever part of our bodies into shape so my advice is do it to your own tune and save money while doing it...

I have gotten them from the library as well. I write down each exercise and then after a few times, I have them memorized. If I move on to another form, I always have my notebook with the other exercises to fall back on. You could also draw the position for the exercise, but I SO can't draw!

Thanks a lot. Good ideas. I'd definitely check out your local library as well.

My daughter and I rent some from the library too.
Marianne R. Mar 26, 2009, 3:50pm EDT
I haven't used any in decades.

That's a good idea for Netflix. Lots of good ideas going around here. Thanks for starting this.

The public libraries here have many exercise DVDs.

I thought the Netflix online watching hours are based on the membership fee... i.e. $10 a month gets 10 hours of online watching. So it is unlimited? (not that I could use up the 10 hours anyway)

NONE

Cool. I check videos out at the library, too.
JoAnn C. Mar 26, 2009, 6:44pm EDT
I never thought to check online for exercise videos.

Don't have netflix yet, but that's good to know...

Mary G. Mar 27, 2009, 3:59am EDT
My library has many of them. You might borrow from a friend.

Back in day (when I was healthy) I would exercise with Denise Austin and Gilad on ESPN. I loved those exercise shows!

I wonder if they are still around.

I'm schizophrenic, so I am my own personal trainer. "DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME 40, PINN!"
"Yes sir, alter-ego trainer from hell!"

I need to exercise but don't. I only have a few videos that I have never even used.
J W. Mar 29, 2009, 3:36am EDT
I use my Wii Fit
Mary H. Mar 29, 2009, 11:42pm EDT
I use att cable fit channel. I tape it on the dvr.

Great post. It's given me some ideas. Sorry that I don't have any to add.
I prefer to exercise outdoors.
I vary it by season, walking, biking, running, hiking, skating, skiing

Sarah, Exercise tv also has a regular website where you can buy exercise downloads. They are pretty cheap, though if you use My Coke Rewards they sometimes have offers for Exercise TV as a reward.

do you have a dvd player? i just found some 15 min workouts from Mc Donald's my mom must have stashed somewhere. If you want them let me know via Private mess. and they are yours

I go on demand for exercize tv, there is the library like others have said, there is also fittv on cable too.

I'm sorry, I don't know of any, but am glad to know about Netflix. And our library has lots of exercise videos. Maybe your library is the same.
