Yes! exercise videos really work and if you are trying to loose weight studies suggest it is one of the most effective ways to loose those last few pounds. By choosing videos that focus on cardiovascular movement you are going to burn fat, tone up and increase your energy. And since the price of a gym membership is around five times the price of a video, you are not only saving money but creating a personal library of workout videos.

Check out some exercise videos online.

Of the two types of fat burning workouts, the most popular is an “Aerobic” workout that makes you sweat and gets your heart rate up and keeps it at the same level for the entire workout. Circuit Training is another popular format for those trying to loose weight, the workout consists of intervals of high intensity followed by lower intensity for a total of around 25-45 minutes. You can’t go wrong with either type of workout, within a few weeks both of these formats will help you loose weight and sculpt your body.

The first question to ask yourself when starting cardiovascular exercise is “What types of activities do I like to do? Dancy stuff or a boot-camp style, high intensity workouts with rest intervals or a sweaty workout that will keep you’re heart rate basically the same throughout the workout. The best advice I have ever heard about how to select an exercise routine is to choose activities you like and simply do them more often and with more intensity.) Then take a good look at your schedule and decide how much time and how many days each week you can workout. As with any exercise program, it’s always a good idea to ask your doctor what he thinks about the exercise routine you are about to start.

Your next step is choosing your routine: How about Jazzercise or traditional Low-Impact Aerobics if you enjoy having some fun while you move your body to motivating music? Or if like a workout with an edge that uses interval or circuit training to burn fat, Tai Bo (Kickboxing) would be a great workout for you or maybe a workout that utilizes calisthenics in intervals with weights. If you have access to gym equipment, another great option is the Elliptical you can burn around 100 calories every 10 minutes on this machine. That means, if you change nothing else and do the Elliptical every day for 30 minutes you could loose 3 or 4 pounds in a month and that’s without dieting!

That’s right, you don’t have to diet to loose weight, by simply doing Cardio Kickboxing three times a week and walking three days per week for 30 minutes, you can loose about 4 pounds in a month that’s almost 50 pounds in a year. Besides loosing weight, there are literally dozens of benefits to doing cardiovascular workout videos such as reduced stress, a naturally more positive outlook on life and sleeping better too. Doesn’t it just make sense to workout with all those amazing benefits? Don’t you want to loose weight, sleep better and have less stress? Start today with a Cardio Kickboxing exercise video, or how about Zumba, it may just be the best part of your day.
