With so many of us canceling gym memberships and turning to home-based fitness regimes, exercise DVDs seem to be the way forward for a cost effective, high energy workout. But with a whole myriad to choose from in the market, which one do you go for?

The selection seems infinite with a wide variety of DVDs targeting different areas of the body like glutes, abs and legs, or arms, shoulders and abs right through to all over cardio workouts like dance based routines or even pole dancing! There are also mat based body conditioning workouts such as pilates and yoga.

But, why limit yourself? We all have low energy days and a more relaxing stretch workout may be more suitable than a high energy one, so purchase a selection.

It is definitely worth spending time reading user reviews to make sure you choose the right workout DVD for you. However, here are some criteria to get you started.

I recieve a monthly newsletter from Tom Venuto, the famous fitness book writer that wrote Burn the Fat Feed The Muscle (link to the review I did a little while ago of the book). He had a great question and answer that I wanted to share about The Caveman Diet, a diet that I myself had never heard of.

QUESTION:

Hi Tom,

Your Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle ebook was an eye-opener for me. I am
following your advice closely with very good results. I’m a semi professional
windsurfer and a mountain biker, and especially for the latter I need to
be as lean as possible. Thanks in large part to your program, I’m well into
a single digit body fat and dropping.

Just recently I came across a book called the paleolithic diet and I was
wondering if you ever heard about it? What’s your opinion on this book? Is
it worth reading if I already have your book? Is the program any good?

Regards,
