Health and Fitness on TV

In the second instalment of "Health and Fitness on TV" I will be profiling ExerciseTV.
ExerciseTV is a free VOD (video-on-demand) network, "dedicated to the hottest workouts, fitness trends and sports training from top instructors and trainers. With ExerciseTV users can workout on their schedule to hundreds of fat burning workouts like cardio, abs, yoga, dance and more!"

I love this network! It highlights quick, easy, effective workouts that can be done from the comfort of your own home. The selling point is that this feature is totally free and most exercise programs require little to no equipment. It's great for those who want to be fit and fabulous on a budget.

ExerciseTV also offers something for everyone. From yoga to the workouts by Jillian Micheals, you can find something that will peak your interest and make you sweat. There is even a Seventeen workout for girls getting ready for Homecoming or Prom. These video's even highlight the importance of proper nutrition, hydration, and exercise safety.

If your cable provider doesn't offer VOD (video-on-demand) then you can check out ExerciseTV online at http://www.exercisetv.tv/ . There site provides all the videos that are offered on demand and them some. You can narrow the videos down by choosing the length of time and equipment available to you. Other great features is the Mobile Trainer, Lifestyle articles and tips, and the Fitness Finder. The Fitness Finder is a great tool that will help you find the perfect workout for you by finding you Fitness Personality.

So, if your looking for a good workout that's both challenging and fun then definitely check out ExerciseTV!

Health and Fitness on TV.

There are many weight loss and fitness shows on television now a days, but nothing that has touched me as much as the Style Networks "Ruby". The show centers around a very loving, funny and intelligent woman, Ruby, who has struggled with weight for the majority of her life. She enchants her audience with her southern charm and tugs at our hart strings as she battles to save her life.

I love this show because I can relate. Yes, people think that Personal Trainers are perfect beings that are decedents of Hercules himself (I'm having a 300 movie flash back), but that's a total misconception. I don't have a perfect body, far from it.I have to make sure that I keep track of my nutrition and exercise routines because I was once an obese 250 pound teenager and I vowed to my self that I would never get back to that weight!!I became a trainer after losing over 100 pounds because I want to help those who want to lose weight and lead healthy lifestyles but need that extra push or motivation. When Ruby gets made fun of on the show I literally tear up because I know how painful it is, and I'm rutting for her!I recommend this show to anyone who is beginning or is currently struggling with an nutrition and exercise program. If I can do it, if Ruby can do it, then you can do it too!

Ruby airs on the Style Network Sunday's at 8pm Central. Re-runs air throughout the week for more information check your local lising or log on to www.mystyle.com
