Netflix???

I've had Netflix for years and never even thought to look for exercise videos! What a great idea! I have no idea what the alphabet soup you quoted is (DS, NMTZ, BFBM), can you elaborate? But I'm very interested to hear what others have to say about this.

I was trying to ask the same thing earlier but apparently my post never showed up! I am very curious about the same thing. I don't live anywhere near a gym and since it has gotten incredibly hot already (I live in the desert in AZ) I was looking for suggestions of videos I can get from the instant streaming and still get a great workout while indoors. I have tried a couple of the dance ones and really did not enjoy them at all.Any other suggestions are welcome though

Self magazine has a few workouts that are on the watch now list. I like to do the "best butt fast" and "bikini ready, fast". Crunch also makes a few pilates ones that are great.

The Situation


There are lots more available for mailing purposes. New (2011)workouts do not show up with the general search sometimes. So be sure to look up a title on it's own.

The Trainer's Edge series is really good, they're all a little old and not as 'fun' as newer videos but it's a good mix of strength training and cardio. I use them to break up my routine and i'm pretty much always sore after. I think they're great!

We have netflix, and I didn't know it had fitness videos. I am from Canada ,and the selection is limited here, but i'll definitely will check it out. Thanks for bringing it up!

I just checked it. In Canada Netflix only has a single fitness video , and it pilates, booo. They seriously should freshen up they selection here.

I totally recommend you try the "Self" videos. There is one that says it is bikini ready, and that is a strength training one for 38 minutes. Great workout and gives great tips on eating right after the video. I also tried the crunch videos and there is one with one guy named Kendall. Simple exercises that will make you sweat! I tried a new one today called "dance off the inches". Its okay. Just wanted to do something different and dance. The instructor is a bit quick, but this will make you sweat too!

hope this helped out!

thanks for the list!! i've had netflix since last year and never looked or thought they would have workouts on instant. it also helps when i looked those up and similar choices came up.

I love the yoga ones...Hulu Plus has some good options too and a subscription to that is the same as Netflix--$8.99 a month. What I like about that is that they are TV series workout shows, so you can get used to the instructor, but not have to do the same workout over and over!

How do you know how many calories you burn with this? Does the video tell you or do you have a way to measure?

Are you on a PC? Log into Netflix - and go to either the "Watch Instantly" of "Browse DVDs" tab.

Type in the word crunch

You should get a list of Crunch DVDs - If the DVD has a blue & red button it is available to watch instantly or to rent.

If you are using a video streaming device (Roku, Wii, etc) - you may have to put the DVD you want to watch instantly in your queue first - from your PC - it depends on interface.

Also, for the Canadian people & anyone who isn' t happy with Netflix's offerings, I've found some pretty good workouts on YouTube as well. It's all about finding the right keyword... I like a lot of the Zumba workouts. Most of the videos are short, 10 minutes or less, but you can create a playlist & have the system play them continually back-to-back if you'd prefer a longer workout.
