De-DVD and find free fitness vidcasts on iTunes

Unclutterer has a great tip that’ll help unclutter your home, save you money, and get you exercising — all while reducing your carbon footprint: Replace exercise DVDs with video podcasts.

Instead of buying up those plasticky exercise DVDs that you’ll likely get tired of after a few months anyway, just search on iTunes for free video podcasts of your fave exercise routine, whether that’s yoga, pilates, or a bootcamp class.

To find fitness video podcasts, do a power search for “fitness” in the iTunes store, taking care to check the box labeled “Search Video Podcasts only.” You’ll get over 100 podcasts to pick from!

I’ve picked out Ford Model Fitness and Yoga Today — though I’m not sure I’ll actually DO one of these today….

  3. Funny. I am working on a post along the same lines. It will go live in a few hours. But I didn’t even think of this. Will definitely link to your post in mine.
