user12712: I am a newbie to both Premiere Pro and After Effects.  We are making exercise instructional videos and want to overlay text instructions - very much like this video: 

. 

What would be the recommended way to do this. We have both Premiere Pro and After Effects. 
Thanks for any assistance/tips. 

user11523: Premiere Pro have more basic text tools, but it is easier to work with. Also, it is better for long files.
After Effects allows you to manipulate with your text in much more various ways. You can use there more different text effects. But it is also more complicated.
So, it is up to you to decide. If you are looking for something basic, use Premiere. If you want to use some fancy effects, then use After Effects.
For example typewriter effect, which is used in video in your question is one of the standard AE effects. You can also achieve that with Premiere Pro, but you will spend more time on each text. 

user5546: I place text overlays in my Premiere Pro videos several times a week. (I produce a video every day.) Premiere Pro has a "Title" menu with many options:

Once you create a Default Still, Default Roll, or Default Crawl, you can drag it onto your timeline, size it, change the duration of it, and even animate it if you want to.
