Last week I wrote about an article from my favorite site for calorie counting and diet-related information, About.com‘s Calorie Count. When I first started using the site in 2009, I wasn’t looking for free workouts. Workout DVDs were my new favorite thing, and I had plenty to keep me occupied for 30-60 minutes each morning. Now that free workouts have become a hobby of sorts, I have discovered that About.com also has sites related to the following exercise-related topics: Exercise (of course!), family fitness, pilates, running/jogging, walking, weight training, and yoga. (See the Health page for a full list of topics under the broader category.) There is overlap between these topics, of course, but each includes links to helpful information, written workouts (with pictures), and the related ads and external site links which pay the bills.
The pages are written by “guides” who are subject matter experts. Whether you choose to follow one of their sample workouts, or just browse the information they provide, there’s plenty here if you are researching a new exercise or workout style. For example, take a look at Workout Finder, or the page for Office Exercise, or the 10-Minute Cardio Blast.
If you are a fan of About.com, what is your favorite site in the Health category?
