Would you rather work out at home?

There is an increasing number of workout programs that enable us to exercise in the comfort of our own homes. These packages usually ask us to have a DVD or video player and enough space to perform a wide range of motions for the workouts. You don't really need any equipment aside from the occasional mat, exercise ball, or perhaps even some lightweight dumbbells. But are these workouts right for you, and are they reliable for those looking to shed pounds and keep them off?

Turbo Jam is a system that enables us to get cardio workouts in the comfort of our own living rooms, which is nice for those who don't want to pay a lot for gym memberships and studio classes. The exercises are supposed to be combined with dancing and a lot of activity, so theoretically you could burn those extra calories if you stick to the program. But that's just the problem; you might find the level of difficulty pretty low, and that's no way to challenge yourself and push yourself to the limits.
