Choose This Workout, Not That
2009 October 27
I know that if I only have ten minutes to workout, I want those ten minutes to count! Sunday when I returned home from my run, I decided I wanted to mix things up with a core workout video.
Exercise TV on Demand is a great way to get in a workout at home and excellent way to save money. There are a variety of options available: short workouts, long workouts, yoga, pilates, dance, and even a Jillian Michaels workout or two. The only problem is that some of the workouts are not as effective as others. If you have ten minutes to workout, you want that ten minutes to be an effective use of your time.
If you’re really want to make those ten minutes count here’s my suggestion:
Choose This: Pilates Abs
Not That: Surfer Girl Abs
Pilates Abs was a safe and effective way to workout my core. I felt that Surfer Girl Abs, wasn’t an effective use of my time. The Husband was home while I was doing these videos. He laughed at me while doing the Surfer Girl Abdominal routine.
Maybe it’s an effective workout for someone else, but it wasn’t for me. I would not recommend this workout to a client. I just didn’t get how I was working my abs through this video. This video could be nice for a warm-up, but not great for an actual workout.
If you’re checking out these videos, skip the Surfer Girl Abs and head straight to the Pilates Abs workout.

I’ve been thinking of trying these videos out again lately.
I would have totally loved to have seen some video of you doing surfer girl abs! I’m going to have to check my on demand section. I wonder if I have at home workouts too.
I Heart Exercise TV! To the point that if Time Warner made me pay extra, I would…but don’t tell them that ssshhhhh
