Free At-Home Exercise Routines

1 2 3 4 5

This time of year, everyone is focused on getting fit. But who wants to go outside for a run in freezing-cold weather, hit a crowded and overpriced gym, or have to show up at a class at a certain time? Work out for free and in the comfort of your own abode with these five exercise options!

YouTube: There’s a ton of fitness freebies on YouTube…so which channels should you check out? Some companies like Diet.comLivestrong and Start Fitness offer completely free YouTube videos encompassing everything from diet tips to military-training-type workouts. There are also a few interesting personalities with their own channels, like Deerunstoo’s log of exercise and nutrition advice (she’s a public health instructor). Check out ShapeUpAmerica.com’s top 30 YouTube exercise channels for more great channels!

    I love exercising at home; I save time and money. My husband gets motivated too and usually joins me. I help him with stretching and he helps me push harder through the tough exercises.

    great ideas on here! i’ve been working out at home for the past 6 months because the gym was just too crowded and after a long day of work plus traffic I didn’t want to go to fight for an elliptical. balance ball is a great addition along with some resistance bands and ankle weights. dont get skinny, get healthy!!

    another place you can look is on Netflix, if you have it. I wasn’t looking for them but I came across some yoga and pilates dvds on there.
