[quote=Anonymous]I used to need the motivation of having paid and signed up for an in person class, and possibly the accountability of having friends in the class who will look for me, and also the reward of getting positive reinforcement from instructors and seeing friends.

In the last few years I've discovered I can workout at home using YouTube videos or workouts I've learned elsewhere and can self-motivate by just reminding myself how good I'll feel afterward or that every day I work out makes me healthier and stronger as I get older, improving my quality of life and maybe my longevity. Now the idea of traveling to a studio seems like a waste, and I love rolling out of bed and doing a workout in my pajamas before heading straight to the shower. It's so efficient! I'm never going back.

It's also opened up a new world of exercise to me that I would never have done in classes. Like recently I started doing a bedtime yoga practice. Just 15-20 minutes right before bed. I've been sleeping sooooo well since I started it. But it never would have occurred to me before. It wouldn't work as an in person class because it's too short and by the time I got home, the benefits would be greatly reduced.

So I guess I do think at home workouts are better in the end, but I totally understand the appeal of in person classes because I did that for years and it was probably the only way I was going to do regular workouts during that part of my life.[/quote]
