For awhile I was only watching fitness blender videos but I’ve been getting bored w Kelly’s not so motivating workouts so i switched to popsugar which I’m loving. Which are your favorites? What other YouTube workouts do you like?

    Fitnessblender and HasFit are pretty much all I use.

    I do love fitness blender! Sometimes I play music during their workouts and that helps. I recently discovered gymra and I like them too!

    What about Kellis workouts do you fund unmotivating? Genuinely curious. Tried any of Daniels?

    I understand why someone would say they aren't motivating. Everything is very monotone and boring- they only say exactly what they need to, and you're just watching one person with a plain white background and no music or anything. The ladies in the popsugar workouts are very personable and will continually say motivating things throughout the workout and constantly encourage you to keep going. I really like Chris Powell's workout videos for the same reason. He can be a bit cheesy, but I appreciate the encouragement. I know some people like just the plain functionality of the fitness blender workouts. I do them sometimes and they're not bad workouts, but they're definitely not "fun." Different strokes for different folks.

    OP, I also like:
    Chris Powell "The Workout"- if you can do popsugar definitely start with level 3
    Joanna Soh- cardio kickboxing is my favorite, but she has tons

    Any suggestions for YouTube workout videos that don’t necessarily involve the legs as much? I know that sounds crazy but I have a torn miniscus in my left knee & can’t do much because of that right now. Thank you for any suggestions. Friend requests welcome :-)

    I used to do mostly fitness blender and some beachbody DVDs. I recently found and have really been enjoying Sydney Cummings and she posts a new workout every single day which is amazing to me. I like the variety.

    Oh I get it as well, but wanted to see what she found unmotivating. If it was the lack of music for example, then my suggestion would be to play music during it. If it was something else, like the structure, too repetitive I would suggest she look at their bored easily structure which doesn't repeat exercises. If it was as you say, no real encouragement then I'd suggest look for popsugar or similar. That why I asked for specifics. And definitely right about the different strokes. I like Kelly, because she is real, doesn't fake anything, makes mistakes and is human. Even she finds some of the workouts really tough. I tried one other group that were "fancier" with microphones, all smiles throughout and constant "you can do it". It drove me bonkers. Hated it. I prefer the simplicity of fitness blender. That said their earliest videos with Kelli doing it, and Daniel narrating are awful lol

    So my main advice is find something that works for you. That's the great thing about having so many options.

    I like jessicasmith tv the best for variety, personality and Peanut the dog.
    Pahla Bowers and Leslie Sansone are good too.
    I've been trying out Yoga with Adrienne and Yoga TX. There are good points to both.
