It is very important what to use when and how much. Videos should be there, most importantly to decipher how much Flash animation to use. The website should have different material on each page, and Flash animation should be used to show different exercises, and their patterns. Be mindful, of not using too much Flash for example the whole website shouldn't be made of Flash. The flash videos should be used to enhance eye-candy and the content should provide motivation to the viewer.
