Ever since Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons got us moving in the 1980s to their aerobic’s videos, workout videos have been a part of most people’s exercise routines at one time or another. The selection of videos available today is so varied and vast that no matter what your choice of exercise, you can find a video to assist you. Workout videos are a great component in helping to achieve your fitness goals.

Using workout videos in your fitness routine is helpful in many ways. Everyone knows how hard it is to make the time to exercise and getting to the gym is a near impossibility for some people and exercise videos are readily available for you to watch in your home, any time of the day or night. Having a variety of fitness videos in your home make will make it easy for you to exercise and you can workout whenever you havee got a few spare minutes, while moving at your own pace.

Workout videos can also help you save money. Gym memberships can be very costly and not everyone can afford them, not to mention that the number of people who have gym memberships but never step foot into the gym is ridiculously high. It’s estimated that 50% of people who sign up for gym memberships either go infrequently or not at all. For many people it’s a big waste of money. For an investment of $10-$25 you can own a workout video and for four times that amount you can have a variety of workout videos to help you target different fitness goals.

Using an exercise DVD during your home workouts can help you avoid injury as well. Many exercise videos are taught by experts in their field. It’s beneficial to have a professional show you how to exercise correctly, and videos can provide professional assistance.

Fitness DVDs usually contain a warm-up and a cool-down session. These are very important in avoiding injuries, yet many people do not include them within their exercise routine because they are so easy to pass by if you don’t have someone to remind you and with your very own personal trainer in front of you on the TV it is impossible to forget. Also, many specific types of exercises require precise movements, and the instructor in a workout can demonstrate the correct movements.

If you are self-conscious, then working out at home with a DVD can be very helpful. You get the benefit of being in an exercise class without having to exercise in front of other people. Perhaps you are insecure about your weight or feel awkward trying to learn new moves or simply uncomfortable having other people see you exercise. Using fitness DVDs in your own home can solve this problem.

Workout videos can keep you from getting into a fitness rut. If you’veve got a variety of exercise DVDs: weight lifting, yoga, kick boxing, aerobics, Pilates, dance, walking, boot camp, then you can keep yourself from getting bored. If you’re tired of one video, you can put it aside for a while and try something different. After all it doesn’t take too long for a body to adapt and then plateau, so don’t be afraid to mix it up.

Workout videos can also cater to your level of fitness. If you are just beginning an exercise program and are not in the greatest shape, you can find many different workout videos for beginners. Once you gain endurance and stamina, you can move up to a more advanced level. There are also many videos that cater to those who have very specific fitness needs like senior citizens or women who are pregnant.

If you have kids, fitness DVDs can help you encourage them to exercise as well. If they see you exercising, they are more likely to live active lifestyles themselves and they may just join in with you. There are some workout videos created especially for children and you can join them when it’s their exercise time.

With a variety of exercise DVDs in your home video library, you have all of the help you need to get moving, get fit and get in shape.

I just started my new year routine of getting in to shape. I’m not in bad shape now, but I would like to tone up. I’m about 5"3", 130 lbs, and if I lose a little weight, that’s fine, but I’d like to keep some meat on my bones. So, I’m looking for a dance workout video that’s fun, but also can tone me up. Any help would be appreciated!

Dancing is fun. Everybody should learn how to dance. If nothing else, what happens if you have a daughter and she gets married and expects you, as her father, to dance with her at her wedding? Won’t you look like a fool if you don’t know your two step from your samba? And you ladies, what gal doesn’t want to be swept off her feet on the dance floor by some hunky guy? Okay, so how about some tips for learning how to dance?

For starters, you DON’T have to go to a dance school. I don’t know why it is that people feel that they need to have one on one instruction. Sure, if the thought of some guy pawing you all day lights your bulb then go for it. Otherwise, it is just as easy to learn how to dance from watching some really well made videos. And the great part of videos is that you can start and stop them all you want. No hourly fee for lessons.

Dance shoes. If you are serious about this (you are serious, right?) then you are going to want to buy a pair of dance shoes. Depending on what kind of dancing you intend to do, those are the kind of dance shoes that you’re going to buy. You will not buy ballroom practice shoes to do square dancing and conversely, you’re not going to buy western dance boots for ballroom dancing. Yes, there are many different types of dance shoes. So you need to make sure you get the right pair for what you intend to learn.

Warming up. A lot of people just go right into their dance routine without any kind of warm up at all. This is asking for a cramp, pulled muscle or worse. It is ALWAYS a good idea to do some stretching exercises BEFORE you start dancing. That way, once the lessons begin, or your actual dancing begins, you don’t have to worry about being carried off the dance floor on a stretcher. I’m not kidding. Don’t go into dancing cold, especially if you’re not a kid anymore.

Dancing can be a ton of fun, and it’s not hard to learn how to dance. Essentially, it’s just a few steps. In my signature is a great resource that will get you started and on your way to becoming a professional dancer in no time at all.

Many of the most popular mainstream dancers at the moment are music stars who also like to do their fair bit of dancing in their music videos. From Beyonce to Chris Brown to Usher and Britney Spears.

One of the most popular pop stars slash dancers at the moment is Justin Timberlake. Many of his songs with danceable beats like ‘Like I Love You’ and ‘Rock Your Body’ have featured his individual dance moves and also brilliant group dance routines.

One of the guys behind Justin’s dance steps is Marty Kudelka – one of the hottest dance choreographers around at the moment. Marty has choreographed some of Justin’s more recent work like his video ‘My Love’ and also Justin’s FutureSex/ LoveSounds tour.

Every popular dancer usually has some sort of mentor like dancers or teachers that inspired them, or great choreographers. Hiring top choreographers is becoming one of the more important tasks for those responsible for today’s pop stars.

Every dance choreographer has their own unique style and many work in particular preferred styles of dance. For example the choreographers of Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’ are very different from those who choreographed the video for Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ for example.

It is important for those responsible for a music artist to find choreographers who will compliment the image of that star. For example very sexy and feminine choreography works very well for the Pussycat Dolls and Beyonce, whereas Missy Elliot is more suited to hip-hop and club dance inspired styles.

The importance of hiring the right choreographer has never been more important in today’s age where image is so important for music artists. And it’s no longer just boy bands and girl bands that use dance routines in their acts, all sorts of music bands and artists are making use of dancers.

Once you get used to an artist doing dancing in their videos you expect the moves and routines that they make famous to become a part of their act. And they’ll usually stick with the formula of what works by continuing to make use of dance moves in their videos and tours.

Even Michael Jackson had his dance teachers. From his dancing it is obvious he was inspired by many great dancers but it was Jeffrey Daniel from soul group Shalamar who taught Michael Jackson the backslide or ‘moonwalk’ as it is more commonly known.

Behind every dancer there are choreographers that help make things happen and very often are responsible for the dance moves that catapult the artists and dancers into the spotlight.
