It seems that almost every other person I know is into running. Do people still go the gym? Outdoor running as well as outdoor sports such as triathlon are becoming more and more popular.

Several years ago, Billy Blanks was hawking his videos on Oprah. Everyone was crazy about Tae Bo. Today there are so much more workout videos in the market. In fact the word “video’ is a misnomer. Workout videos actually come in the form of DVDs. They are targeted at men and women who cannot find the time to go to the gym or work out outdoors.
