Wouldn't it be great to watch online workout videos on your TV ... instead of the computer?

It's so easy and you'll love it. Here's how you do it. Read below to learn how you can instantly stream workout videos you find online (like Fitness Blender, YouTube, etc) onto your TV:

Buy a Google Chromecast from Amazon for $35.
You plug it into the HDMI port behind or on the side of your TV.
Then you plug the cord coming from it into an outlet.
Then you download Google Chrome browser.
Open Google Chrome Browser (it's a browser, just like Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc)
Then you go to the Google Chrome Store online and download the Chromecast App (free) to your browser.
Then just follow the directions online or that come with the Chromecast that you bought on Amazon.

**Basically, whatever you see on your computer screen (through the chrome browser) will be instantly projected onto your TV.**
This includes family videos, photo slideshows or really anything you see online using your Chrome browser. Netflix, YouTube, FitnessBlender.com, etc.

It's awesome and very, very easy to do. It will be the best $35 you've ever spent.

Also, I forgot to mention you can stream through pretty much any device ... your Mac computer, Windows computer, Chromebook, iPad .... and even your Cell Phone!

    It's even easier than that - just go buy a HDMI cable at Walmart ($20) and you can turn any TV into a monitor (F11 I think) we do it and watch movies, etc. all the time. Last night we watched Frozen and Grown Ups 2 off YouTube - for free! I bought the cable years ago and have been doing this forever. (Not to mention the movies my son downloads
    I don't want to know what site, or how he does it! Plausible deniability!)

    P.S. - I do this with a laptop because it is easy to move around, but my daughter actually has her desktop tower hooked up as the monitor to a TV all the time.
