IN THE PRESS
Use Online Videos to Bring the Gym to Your Home
May 05, 2006 - By David Walker

CNN.com, courtesy of the AP, covered what may just be one of the most beneficial aspects of online video to hit in recent memory. Sure, it's great fun to see a guy run himself over with his own car, or to see a teenager accidentally light himself on fire, but at the end of the day, technology is here to enrich our lives, not mock them (although, those videos are good for a hearty laugh). With broadband usage hovering near 70% in the US, online videos have become a very approachable technology of recent and several companies like SlimTree are jumping in feet first to get you in shape.

The benefit to these services are easy to start counting. For one, you can now get "certified" instructors into your house for a fraction of the cost. Secondly, you no longer have to worry about the potential embarrassment of having to go to a gym and sweat in front of complete strangers. Oh yeah - that's the other benefit: not having to go to a gym. Of course, the article quotes several trainers who are less than enthusiastic about this new trend, although a few of them did think these sites could be very good supplements to hands-on routines. Regardless, online video is opening up a floodgate of opportunities not only for entertaining us, but for making us healthier as well.
