Fitness 24/7

Is there a way to have exercise available in the comfort of your own home 24/7?  You mean besides that old piece of exercise eqiupment acting as an over-sized hanger in the corner of your basement?  Yes, there is a way to have access to an impressive list of workout routines without leaving your house!  Body by Jake author Jake Steinfeld, has created a channel that offers over 75 workouts including Pilates, yoga and sculpting.  The channel is available to over 14 million homes in the U.S. that have digital cable from Comcast or Time Warner.  The routines get updated monthly and are taught by gurus like Rodney Yee.  There is a website: www.exercisetv.com where you can check out more information. 

Before diving into a home workout, I would advise working with a personal trainer a couple of times to make sure that you have the basics down in terms of form.  Most people perform squats and lunges incorrectly.  Work with a Pilates or yoga instructor to learn important body placement and concepts of each method.  Although working out at home is convenient, it can do more harm than good if you are performing the exercises incorrectly.
