You Tube Workouts

Hey!!

I currently belong to a gym, but I will be moving and may not be able to get to the gym as often as I like.

I am looking some workouts to do if I cant make it to the gym.

Have you used any you tube workouts... if so which ones and were they effective?

ready... set... go!!

I like alot of Mike Chang's workouts. He has home cardio workouts, and even strength training ones that only require a pair of dumbbells. Check out his channel @ http://www.youtube.com/user/sixpackshortcuts?feature=pvchclk

I like Kendell Hogan's workouts. If you just search YouTube for his name, he has videos ranging from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, abs and cardio and circuit.

The BeFit channel has several trainers. I started using Jillian Michael's stuff on there since my DVD had a terrible accident :laugh:

There are lots of negative Nancy's on the comments though, so I try not to read them before I work out

I like the FitnessBlender videos, as they have a nice variety of difficulties. You can work your way up gradually. There's no music and not a lot of chatter.

I started using FitnessBlender too.

They have a fair amount of easy stuff too (as I'm fairly new to this stuff) and low impact stuff as well for those with joint problems (again, like me). What I like about them, is that I can keep at the same pace as the trainer which helps me a lot so while videos often say, you can go faster/slower if you want, I always loose track of what I'm doing and slow down too much then.

Can anyone else recommend any low impact videos (preferably without any burpees and few squats as I have knee problems and really struggle with those, I tend to skip them but that sucks as well as either I have to fiddle with the video to fast forward or just wait and cool down too much).

Well in my class when they do burpess.. I replace with either jumping jacks, high knees, mountain climbers or anything cardio.

Squats.. you can replace any other but toning thing.. donkey kicks, pelvic thrust or standing kick backs.

On the BeFit channel, there are a few walking videos with Denis Austin. I don't really do them, though, as they don't get my HR up that much. I have a video from Acacia that has snippets of a few different workouts, and one is by Petra Someone (I know that's helpful, sorry), that is pretty good, and low impact, no jumping, etc.

The Denis Austin ones look good, I'll give them a shot. Although some do look fairly fast paced which I might not be able to keep up with but I guess I'll only get fitter by trying harder.
