Work out DVDs are just like work out videos. They consist of 20 minutes to over an hour-long worth of recorded exercises for you (and/or your friends) to follow along in the comfort of your own home. They can be very different from each other, and can come from very different bodybuilding companies (with very different ethics, morals, beliefs, philosophies, etc. on fitness and achieving that beach body).
You will find that there will be equally male instructors as well as female on-screen. They will have a wide array of personalities ranging from delightful and delicate, to rigid and intensely harsh. You will feel as though you are at a ballet studio for your pilates as the instructor compliments you every few minutes, or you will feel as though you are being drilled at a fitness boot-camp as that instructor yells for you to "push harder" for that last yoga pose.
It will be up to you on what you will consider to be a good work out DVD. Some instructors will make you feel at ease, or they will make you feel very pushed, and that is up to you on what you prefer! They will be all doing this from a staged set-up, whether it is a brightly-lit studio floor space or a dimly-lit industrial powerhouse gym.
Usually, the instructor won't be standing alone. There will most likely be a group of men and women (depending on who the work out DVD is geared towards) exercising right alongside the instructor. They will be your guide as you may possibly feel alone and unsure of how to do the fitness moves.
While these men and women are following the instructor, they are also varying the movements (the instructor should be pointing this out). The movements will range from an easy adjustment (for people with joint issues), to a very difficult variation (for people who want to push themselves even harder).
You will find that in some work out DVDs, no one is sweating whatsoever. They aren't even glowing. In other work out programs, you will see those people drenched in sweat all over their clothes. Again, this will be a matter of preference for you, and it will be a matter of what the director and producer want you (as the exercising customer) to see.
While all of these DVDs are so different from each other, it is actually a huge benefit to you! Why? Because you get to mix and match these work outs to your liking, since it is in your own gym. You end up saving a lot of money since the cost overall will be cheaper and cheaper the more you use the DVDs. This is unlike paying for a big gym membership, where the cost is your gas, your commute time, and the monthly payments you will keep making (whether you use the gym or not).
The added benefit to having a collection of different work out DVDs is that you can change the exercise up whenever you want! You can use the ab work out DVD of one program with a cardio DVD of another. Or, you can make a complete hybrid of two fitness programs to take your body to the next level of results. - 32527
