Workout wherever you have a computer

I've compiled a list of sites where you can find workouts online without needing a TV or DVD player. They're good for a quick workout or to check out a new DVD. (Bookmark this page cuz it took me a lot of time to compile.)

Fitness magazine has a quite extensive collection of videos -- everything from the "skinny jeans" workout to one designed to work off the baby weight. You'll need to register, but the site is free.

Weight Watchers also has a video collection, although I'm not sure whether you have to be a member to watch them.

Self magazine has an impressive lineup of workout videos -- some show you how to use exercise equipment, others can be done with or without dumbbells or resistance bands.

Health magazine has a 20-minute video workout from Petra Kolber that uses a stability ball and dumbbells.

Women's Health magazine has six different excerpts from the gusto-filled Amy Dixon on its video page.

Prevention magazine has a load of excerpts from its library of workout DVDs. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find them.

eDiets has a channel on YouTube where you can get fitness clips as well as see success stories.

Another Web site with a YouTube channel is Diet.com. Their YouTube videos include workouts and diet tips.

Check out Exercise TV's YouTube channel for a bunch of mini workouts.

Shape magazine's collection is OK, but you have to wade through some celeb interviews.

The American Council on Exercise has a YouTube channel with four workouts, like the leg and glute workout for summer.

Exercise DVD reviews


I live in an apartment complex that has a workout room. Two ellipticals, two treadmills, two bikes and a circuit machine that is in some desperate need of a repairman. It's been a while since I've visited the room (it's free, and a 5-minute walk... go figure...) but what I would like to know is, "what is your favorite at home exercise DVD, and why?"
I know Gail has an AWESOME exercise DVD library, and I'm sure that she'll be happy to give her two cents worth, but what have you, the Shrinking Sisters readers found that keeps you going?
