Langhorne Exercise Videos – Are They Better Than E-books?
Are exercise videos better than e-books? Technology has advanced so much in the past few years with email, e-books and anything internet-related. Despite that, exercise videos are easier to access and better than e-books. They’re also more dynamic and interactive and allow us to accurately go at our own pace with simple steps and great visuals – something that an e-book can’t do.
Well known personalities have helped popularize exercise videos over the years. There’s Jane Fonda, Suzanne Somers and the gregarious Richard Simmons.
Today, videos on yoga, pilates, kickboxing and belly dancing abound. The great variety is key to their longevity.
It is more motivating to exercise when there aren’t any obstacles to discourage us. That’s why exercise videos are better because they are very accessible. No technological issues to deal with. Just pop in and play the video anytime you’re ready.
Videos are inexpensive. A one-time cost gives you a lifetime of workouts and if we don’t feel like it, we’re not pressured to train because our membership is almost up or the gym will be closing in an hour. And there are no monthly fees or hidden costs of gas, parking, and travel time.
In addition, videos allow us to go at our own pace especially when there are certain moves we need more practice with. We’re shown how to do it correctly and we can also pause the video at any part and keep repeating the section if we need to.
Exercise videos have the benefit of being very visual with simple instructions. Therefore, it is easy to imitate the movements demonstrated. There is little to no confusion of how they should be done. This is not the case with e-books. Words can easily confuse especially when typos occur.
There are definitely benefits and consequences to exercise videos. Convenience, cost, self-image and social interaction are all factors that affect our choice, but whatever we decide to go with, the most important thing is to be aware of these factors so we can make the best choice for us.
