The most frequently heard complaint from my friends who are trying to get healthy are either one of two things: 1. I can't find the time or 2. I feel intimidated by the gym. One of my favorite ways to combat both of those problems is to find fun, quick and easy fitness videos on YouTube. They are usually no more than 15 minutes long, and you can do them in the comfort of your own home, no gym required. I love to fit them in on tired days after class, or when I just need a quick cardio mood booster. Here are some of my favorite fitness YouTube channels!
1. The Fitness Marshall
If you like to dance like nobody is watching, you'll love his videos. The videos are generally short in length and feature sassy dance moves set to current popular songs that are fun for all fitness/dance levels. You really will break a sweat with just one of his cardio dance videos, I promise!
2. Blogilates
If you love all things pilates, you'll love this channel. Sign up for her free newsletter to get access to a monthly workout plan calendar, and pay just .99 cents for her app to join a neat community of fellow Blogilates members.
3. Love Sweat Fitness
She's full of positivity and features workouts such as barre or HIIT. She also has a blog with tons of free materials and a newsletter featuring a sign up for a positive Facebook group with a great sense of community.
4. Sarah Beth Yoga
Her sequences are easy to understand and soothing.
5. Kym Non Stop
Her no-nonsense attitude is fun instead of intimidating.
6. Shelby Skaggs Fitness
She's just getting started, but her channel is one of my favorites. I have taken classes with her previously, and she knows how to make working out fun but effective. Workouts range from barre, abs and more, to fun dance classes.
7. Tone It Up
I don't use TIP as much as I used to, but they have a huge selection of videos and some of my friends are obsessed. They have a pretty big following on social media if you are someone who enjoys a sense of community. They have a lot of free content on their blog, but some content is paid members only.
8. XHIT Daily
This is a really great channel for learning how to do basic fitness moves with proper form.
9. Yoga With Adriene
This channel is perfect for all levels of yogis.
10. POPSUGAR Fitness
This channel is filled with all things at-home fitness, so there will be something for everyone!
11. Scott Herman Fitness
In his channel, he breaks down proper form for beginners on a variety of commonly used fitness moves.
12. Shannon Johanson
Her channel has great workout plans for when you want to pick things up, but aren't sure where to begin. While she does have quite a few videos based in the gym, there are at home variations as well.
13. Women's (or Men's) Health
Check out either of these channels no matter your gender for a variety of simple and effective home workouts.
