Never Mind the Bus Pass

It seems like many of us are finding it hard to get to the gym. NMTBP brings the gym to you with some great online exercise videos. Do a workout during your lunch break, when you get home from work or any time that best suits you. The best thing about online exercise videos is that you don’t have to worry about rushing to the gym to get to your exercise class by a certain time, it starts when you click your computer
mouse. There are both paid membership and free sites on this list.

We suggest you watch the online exercise video before trying it to see what exercise level it is and if it is an ideal workout for you. Always check with your GP before starting a diet and/or exercise regimen. Here are the best online exercise video sites. Let’s get started exercising!
