Recently, I found my way to a YouTube channel called BeFit. To summarize, it’s a collection of sample exercise videos and infomercials from Lions Gate Entertainment. They distribute exercise DVDs by popular trainers including Jillian Michaels, Denise Austin, Jane Fonda and more. For example, check out the video for Jillian’s 30 Day Shred Level 1. It’s the entire workout! Of course, you will find “Level 1” for many different series, without the more advanced levels, and clips from other workouts, but it’s a great way to find out more about them.
If you’re just starting out with exercise at home, or you’re looking for some new workouts, this is a great way to try a workout before you buy it. It’s also convenient for those of us who like to watch workout DVDs (for sheer curiosity) without actually buying them. Of course, I own quite a few Jillian Michaels DVDs already, and I want to know more about Denise Austin. And I wonder what Jane Fonda’s up to these days (or whenever the DVDs were made)? I will definitely come back for more!
