For many of us, working out at home has a few distinct advantages: it’s less expensive than a gym membership, it’s convenient (we can work out in our pajamas if we wish), and we can own a variety of programs so we don’t become bored. Online fitness programs are everywhere, and there is a program for everyone. An added advantage is that you can do online fitness programs anywhere you are. Following are three of our favorites.
My Yoga Online(opens in a new tab)
No matter whether you’re a beginner or an avid practitioner, My Yoga Online has workouts and poses for you, as well as Pilates and meditation programs. You can choose specific programs, such as a yoga detox, weight loss, Vinyasa yoga, and sleeping tools. You can also pay one price for a premium membership and take full advantage of the entire site and all the programs. You’ll also find forums, featured articles, and music for your yoga practice.
Unlike My Yoga Online, DailyBurn gives you unfettered access when you join, plus a 30-day trial. The website claims to have workouts ranging from yoga to MMA, so boredom shouldn’t be an issue. DailyBurn also helps you track your progress so you know where you stand and can stay motivated. It doesn’t merely track calories burned by exercise, however. You can also track your diet and your goals. DailyBurn’s mobile app lets you keep tabs on your workouts while on the go.
Bods for Broads(opens in a new tab) Bods for Broads features a live personal trainer via Skype, which helps you stay private and able to work out anywhere. The site also offers a virtual fitness group of like-minded people to help you stay motivated and offer support. You won’t see them, but you can talk to them at the end of each workout. Bods for Broads also offers help with nutrition and skin care, equipment and clothing, and group training.
Finding your best online fitness program may be a process of trial and error, so be sure to research each program thoroughly, along with its pros and cons. Don’t be afraid to use a variety of programs, as you’ll keep yourself motivated and interested in what you’re doing.
