Start sweating--a new exercise video library is online

IDEA Health & Fitness Assn., a San Diego-based member organization of fitness and health professionals, has released 30 short fitness videos on its website that are free to the public (members can access all online videos).

In the videos, viewers are walked through each demonstrated exercise, and Roberts and Carey explain how to do the moves with proper form and what muscle groups are being used. Some routines are also modified to make them more difficult or easy. We appreciate the little twists, such as the use of paper plates to make feet slide more comfortably in the hamstring curl alt. Some light equipment, such as dumbbells, stability balls and bands, are incorporated on certain exercises.

IDEA plans to add more free and members-only videos to the site, so stay tuned.
