Default Cheap work-out videos

Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone knew the best place to buy workout videos for the lowest price-- like the pilates, or tae-bo stuff. Are there any good on-line placed to order them?

Also, what are your suggestions for best/cheapest workout videos in general?

check your local library - and if they don't have what you want - ask them if there is inter-library loan for videos - that way you can try before you spend any money.

I've heard good things about half.com (it's like eBay for books and videos and stuff), though I've never used it myself. It might be a good idea to take a look anyway.

Also, many of my videos came from the local video store, on sale or just cheaper than elsewhere. Some stores also sell used videos, though I'm not sure if that would apply to workout videos, since usually they're trying to sell off the excess from their "in-stock guarantee" for new releases.

Hmm...not sure. I've never actually checked. You could always phone and ask, I guess. It may also vary from store to store, too. Some may and some may not. But they rent games, so why not exercise videos?

I buy all my workout videos (the FIRM, baby!) from www.half.com. And I sell the ones I don't like on the same website. A lot of the videos are brand new, but sometimes you can get one for super-cheap if you don't mind having one that's been loved a bit.

I just went to half.com to pick up Tae-Bo(the originals) because all amazon seemed to have was tae-boII and advanced stuff, plus the 4pack of the original workouts which cost 42 bucks, cant afford that at the moment. So anyway on half.com they had the same 4pack for 18.52 which amazed me because its says its straight from the factory. It remains to be seen if I will actually get what I ordered but the guy who sells it seems to have a very good rating.

As for wether or not blockbuster rent workout videos....

MOST do. Unless you live in a small backward town like I do. They will have a section dedicated to "sports and fitness" look there and rent one and try before you buy.
