My introduction to unlimited access to streaming fitness videos with Gaiam TV could not have come at a better time! I’m not much for New Years resolutions, but I do appreciate the start of the New Year as a great time to re-set routines. Since the holidays my fitness routine has faltered, and in 2013 I am determined to get back on track.  As many of you know, as a mom, having total control over your daily routine is not always an option.  The past few weeks have been a frustrating example of this for me, having just sworn to myself to get back to the gym, and start practicing Yoga on a regular basis. First a dishwasher debacle left me home on six separate days just waiting for service people in what seemed interminable time windows. When they say they’ll be there between 9am-12 noon, why do they come at 11:59 every time?!   Then this morning I am paying the price for what was a fantastic ski weekend in Stowe, VT.   After a fun day of skiing (despite the cold), we had to push it like we always do, and squeeze in a visit to the Trapp Family Lodge, and a tour of the Ben & Jerry’s factory before heading home.  They were both worthy side trips, but we did not get home until around 11pm last night.  Only two out of four of my kids made it to school this morning.

No more excuses though, even if today is one more day that I will not make it to the gym, I have found a way to stick to my goal of getting active and staying well in 2013.    Now with the ability to stream fitness videos with Gaiam TV, I can excercise whenever and wherever I want. Gaiam TV is like Netflix for health, wellness, yoga and fitness lovers, with over 2,000 titles delivering hundreds of hours of online yoga, Pilates and cardio workouts.

I was so excited to see that I can practice with amazing instructors like Rodney Yee, Seane Corn, Jillian Michaels, Mari Winsor and Kathryn Budig.  I like having that variety and that I can customize my workouts to my goals whether it is weight loss, total body sculpting or increased energy, and narrow down options based on level, style, instructor and amount of available time. With Gaiam TV, you can easily search for yoga videos, make playlists, and preview selections, and you can even rate and review the Gaiam TV titles that you try.  Now that I have signed up for this service, if I am traveling, stuck home with sick kids or waiting for a repair man, I have no excuse to not get a workout in.  Gaiam TV streaming capabilities include personal computers, iPads and smartphones.   A $9.95 monthly subscription fee allows subscribers to stream unlimited content wherever and whenever they want.  Unlike my gym membership, the subscription to Gaiam TV is no strings attached; there is no commitment, and members can cancel at anytime. Gaiam TV is currently offering a free 10-day trial membership, so like me, you can get on your way to reaching your fitness goals, even if you can’t always make it to the gym. No excuses. Namaste.
