Low impact YouTube workouts

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some you tube workouts that they might like? I had back surgery a few months ago so I need something low impact but will also give me a decent workout. I do some of the "walk it off" videos but they've become kind of boring. I can't always make out to the gym and with winter coming I won't be doing much outside walking. My Doctor's only rule for exercise was " if it hurts, don't do it".. lol gee thanks. Glad I paid you a 💩 ton of money haha.

I really like fitnessblender videos.
I copied a few links for you below, but I have no idea if they are suitable after a back surgery or not! You will have to judge that yourself. They usually have a list of the exercises in the description, so you can first read what they contain before doing them.

Definitely recommend fitnessblender also. You can search their website for low impact workouts. I had ACL surgery seven months ago and while I'm cleared for most things at this point, sometimes I will follow a video I am 90%comfortable with, but maybe do basic squats, or jumping jacks instead of burpees or something I'm not comfortable with. Never feel like you have to follow any video 100% if your body says no to some things. Here is too your speedy recovery!0

Walking Cardio Shape-Up by Chris Freytag. This is a circuit workout so you will need some dumbbells too.
