Weight Loss Strategies: Go To Blockbuster

Aerobic activity is typically expensive, but services such as Blockbuster Online and Netflix have made it cheaper than ever.

Aerobic exercises

There are countless number of people who do their aerobic exercises at gyms and fitness centers. They ride stationery bikes, climb stair climbers, use elliptical machines and run/jog/walk on treadmills. They also participate in aerobic, pilates and yoga classes. This equipment and these classes are all very effective at burning calories. However, these gyms are expensive.

There are other people who do their aerobic exercises in their homes. They have stationery bikes, stair climbers, elliptical machines and/or treadmills at home. This is effective because they work out in the comfort of their own home, often while watching television. However, this type of equipment is expensive, especially if you want quality.

Those who can not afford the gyms or the exercise equipment, choose to jog/run outdoors or use exercise DVDs. Exercise DVDs are a great way to get an inexpensive workout. However, people often complain that they get bored of the DVD after they watch it a few times. They seek more variability.

Online DVD rentals

Blockbuster Online and Netflix are services that allow you to select movies and have them delivered to your home. When you are done using the movie, you return it in a special envelope provided by the company.

These plans have no late fees and you can keep the movies as long as you like. Both of these companies have $4.99 per month plans that allow you to rent 2 movies every month. I prefer Blockbuster Online because you can use your plan to rent movies at the brick and mortar Blockbuster locations also.

The Blockbuster Workout Plan

With the Blockbuster Workout Plan, you pay $4.99 every month and get 2 exercise DVDs a month. You alternate between the two and when you are bored with them, you select other DVDs.

This plan is inexpensive. It also adds variability because Blockbuster updates their DVD libraries often.
