Just because you don’t have a gym membership or class pass doesn’t mean you can’t have access to similar classes and results. You can now stream a lot of your favorite workouts right in the comfort of your own home. It’s convenient, cost-efficient, and let’s be honest–streaming your workouts at home makes you way more likely to sneak a workout into your day.
I also travel a lot which makes it really, really, really hard to either 1) find a gym or 2) fit a workout into my schedule. As long as you have WiFi, you can stream wherever and whenever. Most programs can be accessed from laptop, iPad, or your phone. I’ve definitely turned my hotel room in a gym quite a few times.
Even if you have a gym membership, streaming your workouts can be a great supplement to mix up your routine. Studies actually show that changing it up a bit challenges new muscles and improves your total fitness. Plus, boredom can lead to burnout! When you mix it up, it keeps it exciting.
