The wide array of work out DVD content is no different from that of work out videos. The only difference is that some of the DVDs allow you to do the exercise with or without the cheesy music (and with or without the instructor's eventually-annoying voice). They will all be at least 30 minutes of the instructor demonstrating the fitness movements, but they won't all have the same mannerisms and degree of intensity as other instructors on other work out DVDs.
The wide array of work out DVD content is no different from that of work out videos. The only difference is that some of the DVDs allow you to do the exercise with or without the cheesy music (and with or without the instructor's eventually-annoying voice). They will all be at least 30 minutes of the instructor demonstrating the fitness movements, but they won't all have the same mannerisms and degree of intensity as other instructors on other work out DVDs. 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. If you are lucky and have gotten your hands on a decent work out DVD, you will feel either at ease, or pushed to your limits. The instructor on the screen will be in a staged area that will appear to be a dance studio, an industrial-like gym, or a beach on some island. Most likely, there will be a group of other men and women alongside and behind the fitness instructor following the work out moves. This is to show you that you are not alone as you exercise in your home fitness center. This is also to provide you with the opportunity to relate to at least one or more of the people moving to the instructor's commands. There will be some exercisers trying an easy version of a movement, while there will be others trying a rather difficult version. You might notice that in some work out DVDs, there is absolutely no sweating going on. Just happy smiles and glowing cheeks, but no sweat to be found. You might notice the opposite in other DVDs, where everyone is drenched from head to toe in sweat and struggling with some moves. That is all the decision of the director and producer to portray to you. 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). What's also neat is the ability for you to change the exercise regimen up to your liking. You know that you may get bored with one part of the program, and you may like the other parts better. Or, you may fall in love with the entire program (and love the fitness results so much) that you will end up using the entire set of DVDs all over again.
