Sure, gyms aren’t that bad, but they’re expensive, and you aren’t always guaranteed to find a personal trainer (or a gym) that you enjoy. You might also not be able to afford the insane prices some personal trainers charge. That’s why we put together 5 reasons why workout videos will help you get in shape better and faster.

#5: Forget Those Inconvenient Opening Hours.

You don’t have to travel all the way over to the gym and deal with their opening hours. Instead, you can do your workouts whenever you want. Hell, take your workout videos to the public park and do them there — no one’s stopping you!

#4: Don’t Wait For A Trainer.

Sure, it’s hard to replace the direct contact with a trainer that you might get at the gym. But are you prepared to pay for that contact? If you’re just on a basic membership, it’s not always easy to get an overworked trainer to come over and explain 16 different exercises to you.

#3: No Shame In Rewinding.

If you have to ask a personal trainer how to do an exercise more than 5 times, you might start trying their patience. Thankfully, with a video, although you might lack that face-to-face interaction, you can go back two billion times until you’ve got the move perfect, and no one will ever look askance at you.

#2: Few Gyms, Hundreds of Videos.

If you aren’t happy with your gym, you can choose another one, but unless you live in a major city, you often won’t have so much choice around you. Whereas when it comes to some good videos, you’re free to choose from thousands of great options.

#1: Don’t Forget About the Gorgeous People.

Hey, I’m not saying there aren’t some beautiful people at the gym. But most trainers who make workout videos — be it men or women — aren’t too shabby to look at, either. While exercise is still the crucial thing, there’s nothing like an attractive trainer to keep you motivated.

You don’t need ab workouts! Instead of doing real exercises to try and strengthen yourself the old-fashioned way, check out these 5, totally-viable, completely-not-ridiculous ways to replace them for good.

#5 Lean, Toned Abs are So Last-Year.

Things have changed — now it’s all about beer bellies! No one really cares so much about great abs anymore. All the big trendsetters when it comes to what’s hot and what’s in are saying it loud and clear — flab is fab, lean is not.

#4 Your Body Will Conveniently Hide Fat For You.

I know I was just talking about beer bellies up there, but really, they’re ultra-rare. You don’t really need to do any ab workouts because your belly is probably already super-toned anyway. If you’re eating a lot of junk, don’t worry — most of that stuff does you a huge favor and goes and hides somewhere out-of-sight, on the back of your legs or maybe in your feet or something. No one really gains any fat on their stomachs. Nope!

#3 No One Goes to the Beach Anymore.

I know people talk about ‘beach bodies’ and getting in shape for the summer and all that, but really, come on. Who even bothers with the beach tomorrow. I think that if you take my word and just drive by any random beach this summer, you’ll find that it is very much empty, not full of anyone with a toned body or a sculpted physique.

#2 You Can Just Exercise At Your Desk!

There’s a reason there are all those infomercials on TV selling those pulsating weird machines that you hook up to your abs. It’s because they work so wonderfully well! Just apply the gel, attach the electrodes, plug in the machine, turn it on, and watch the pounds loudly, automatically, magically melt away! I swear, it really…. works!

#1 You Can Probably Just Take A Few Pills.

If using a pulsing robo-machine doesn’t fill you with excitement, why not fill yourself with those amazing diet pills instead? According to the people advertising them (who, of course, have no interest in anything but your health), they really work well, and are totally awesome! Sure, they might be placebos that do nothing at best and kill you at worst, but hey, someone’s got to try ‘em, right? Goodbye crunches!
