Gone are the days when in-person classes are the only way to get a workout in. Quite frankly, this is a trend we can get on board with. Some of your favorite fitness brands are embracing technology allowing you to get that heart rate pumping right at home – there’s truly a streaming workout for everyone! You can choose from paid streaming platforms, free workouts on YouTube, support your favorite local workout studio, or a combination of the three.
Read on to examine the benefits of streaming workouts and explore your options.
4 Benefits of Streaming Workouts
Streaming workouts offer many benefits for both your health and lifestyle. Let’s take a look at four unique advantages.
1. Convenience: The ultimate benefit. Now you can fit in your 150 minutes of weekly exercise anytime, any place. Whether in the living room with your toddler, during your lunch break at the office, or traveling away from home the convenience of streaming allows for exercise to become an easier addition to your day.
2. Variety: Say goodbye to exercise ruts! You can find just about any kind of workout online featuring a wide variety of fitness pros, workout styles, and music. Choose from the classics like pilates, yoga, strength training or try something completely different, such as boxing, hip-hop dancing, and even parkour-inspired workouts.
3. Access to Pros: You no longer need to live in big city to have access to the pros. Chances are you can find their workout videos or classes online. For instance, the BeFit channel features workouts from legendary pros like Denise Austin, Billy Blanks Jr., and Jane Fonda.
4. Cost Savings: While fitness is no doubt a smart investment for your long term health, there’s no denying that some studio and gym memberships can be hard on your budget. YouTube and other streaming workout platforms are often a great cost-effective solution.
