I think it's largely because videos like that are marketed at women - women are supposed to be the ones concerned with maintaining their physique, after all, because clearly our market value is based on our appearance.
There ARE some videos that have men in them, or are marketed to men, that I've seen in stores, but these tend to be more in the kickboxing and punchy-workouts vein, rather than the "general workout" mode.
But I think you're right in that running and going to the gym to lift weights tends to appeal more to men, for whatever reason, and therefore videos end up being skewed towards the female demographic.
