Fresh Fitness Tips: Create your own fitness DVD library with your friends

Last night when I was trying out my new DVDs I had a thought. If every one of my girlfriends got one new exercise DVD for the holiday, we could create an amazing workout library (our own mini Netflix community). Everyone could hold one or two for a week, use them as often as they like, and then pass them on. We could even have a girl's night at the house to try something new. It's a simple idea that would work because the great thing about fitness DVDs is that most are inexpensive, some require as little as 10 minutes of time, and the variety is HUGE! And if you enlist the gang (book club, sisters, college dorm, co-workers), you're more likely to stick with the exercise plan.

Stay in shape with these quick workouts—even during the hectic holiday season.

Here are a few titles in my collection....

    My Favorite is "The FIRM Total Body TransFIRMation Kit". I tried many workout DVDs before, but this is the best. It is definitely a keeper.

    Great idea! And here is another idea - Don't forget the public library - incredible variety, most libraries loan dvds for periods of 1 -3 weeks (my library is 3 weeks, no charge to borrow, renewable if there are no requests) What could be better than FREE!

    I love workout DVDs! one more idea - I joined Netflix to "try out" lots of DVDs before I bought any, this really helped me eliminate any duds. Also, Collagevideo.com is a great resource!
