Sure, you could pay for premium gym content, but why bother with so many amazing free workouts online? Fellow contributor Cathy Huang and I have been testing different youtube workouts all month. Here, in simple list form, are some of my favorites:
There is something really soothing about her voice, even if her ability to elevate straight into a handstand can leave you a bit dizzy. The classes tend to be a little more advanced than others on Youtube, but still a lot of fun. More than a workout, her classes left us both feeling centered and peaceful. We could all use a little more of that these days.

My favorite thing about this trainer’s HIIT classes is how real she keeps it. Talking is kept to a minimum as she exercises in real time with you. She also doesn’t bother to edit out her mishaps; when she get’s tired and falls, she leaves it in. It’s refreshing and unique.

If you want to really pump things up, the classes on Les Mills are longer than most and keep the energy really high. The classes mix different styles of martial arts to keep you moving from start to finish. It’s a full energy sweat flush. You will be sore.

Popsugar fitness has tons of videos online, spanning from stretching to HIIT to core. They also come in a variety of time so you can pick what works with your schedule. They emphasis rest period between moves, and they offer level variations.

MadFit has a variety of HIIT workouts, but the real gold is in her dance routines. At just 3 minutes long, it’s a fun way to feel like you moved it when you really had zero time to workout. Bonus points: learning choreography has been shown to boost your brain power. Go you.
