Working out made easy

We live in a fast paced society. If you have kids or a full time job, going to the gym may not always be an option. And let's face it, the gym can be intimidating if you're just starting out. So I have taken it upon myself to find  some things that you can do at home.


15 Workouts You Can Easily Do At Home

Time to make a change.

1. Blogilates

 
A lady who needs no introduction, Cassey Ho is chirpy, upbeat, and hardcore. My personal favourite is the Pilates Full-Body Workout, and this abs tutorial is killer.

2. Lauren Hefez

 
Lauren’s upbeat videos are filmed in her sitting room — proving that you don’t need space to work out. Try this lower body circuit.

3. Ekhart Yoga

 
Ekhart Yoga mostly focuses on Hatha yoga and Vinyasa yoga, so it’s holistic, as well as being good for general fitness. Here is a great tutorial for parents. And here is a good one for managing multiple sclerosis-related fatigue.

4. XHIT Daily

 
If you’re looking for a serious, concentrated workout then this is for you. From a tutorial on Jennifer Lawrence’s legs to toned arms, this is all achievable in your own home.

5. The Lean Machines

 
Like a fitness Ant and Dec, this pair are so enthusiastic that you’ll want to do 15 burpees just watching them. Try out the 3-Minute Plank Challenge. Or the straightforward core workout (featuring Sam of Pixiwoo).

6. Bexlives

 
These workouts are great if you’re busy — for example this high-intensity one can be done in the ad breaks while watching a TV show. Bex also teaches meditation.

7. Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

 
A fitness legend, you can find most of the 30-Day Shred on YouTube. Expect circuits and little sympathy.

8. POPSUGAR

 
This channel is really good at posting full workouts, and most of the routines can be accomplished with little to no equipment. This cardio one is good. Or this beginner’s guide to strength training.

9. Fitness Blender

 
Fitness Blender specializes in at-home videos — some of which are especially useful. For example, this quiet home workout is great if you have small children you don’t want to wake up. The instructors are also very good at answering viewer questions.

10. Tone It Up

 
These two friends post workout videos together. With high production values and higher intensity, before you know it you’ll have bought a pair of pink yoga pants. Try this full-body workout, or their Malibooty workout.

11. Frugal Fitness

 
These videos aren’t glamourous, but they are 100% achievable in small spaces, like your living room. Try the squats, or grab a partner.

12. Tiffany Rothe

 
Tiffany is all about 10-minute workouts — in English and Spanish. She also posts useful warm-ups (which are just as important as working out).

13. Do You Yoga

 
Step-by-step yoga instructions and weekly challenges. Useful for beginners and pros. Lean how to do a headstand, or refine your wheel pose.

14. K’s Perfect Fitness

 
As a professional dancer, Kristen knows her stuff. She also has fun with it — like with
these 007-themed workouts.

15. DaveyWavey Fitness

 
Think short, intense workouts — like this oblique ab workout, or this chair workout. Side note: He’s also got another YouTube channel, where he meets people lik
