Home Workouts SUCK!

YouTube workout vids have helped me quite a bit. Some people I really like is Chloe Ting, Pamela Reif, Emi Wong, Popsugar Fitness.

A lot of them are no equipment but if you have weights you can add them. And they have videos for all difficulty. If you don't like one video, you can keep looking until you find one you like.

I usually pick a few different videos every workout so it doesn't get stale. I switch it up and do what I feel like doing on that particular day.

Chloe Ting is my favorite at the moment. I feel like her workouts are a little harder than the rest. I think it might just be because her workouts are more fast paced and her breaks are only 5 to 10 seconds so it's harder to keep up. Pick her if you want to be challenged. She also gives good motivational pep talks while working out and another thing I love about her is she will show you how to do certain things the low impact version or suggest knee push ups vs regular push ups if you're not quite there yet (example).

Pamela Reif was the first fitness youtuber I started watching and I'd say that she's slightly less difficult than Chloe Ting. She has videos for beginner difficulty and advanced. I quite like her a lot, and she has good workouts but one thing that I would want her to do is talk and motivate and explain proper form and stuff like that. If you're looking for that, she might not be for you because in all her workout vids besides her live workout vids, she doesn't speak at all. It's just music. But some people might prefer that.

Emi Wong, I would say would be for the days you really don't even have the motivation to crawl out of bed let alone working out. She has videos of working out in bed. I love it. To me, the videos I've watched of her at least, they're a little easier compared to the rest but she still gives you a good workout and she's amazingly motivational. She's good at explaining stuff and the second I feel like "ugh I cant do this" she says "no pain no gain guys, only a few more seconds, you'll thank yourself later, don't quit on me!" Absolutely love her!

I was used to having a partner to work out and motivate me and with these girls it kinda feels like I have a friend to work out with.

It might not work but who knows. I was in your place before. I will say that sometimes it can get repetitive because they do share some workouts but that's to be expected. Theres only so many things you can do. Something else that's great about them is they have vids for full body, thighs and butt, arms, abs, whatever you want to target.

I haven't watched a lot of Popsugar fitness, idk it's just not really my style but one video I really loved of theirs was the Barre Booty workout video. That's the only one of theirs that I've tried that have actually challenged me but like I said I haven't done much of theirs because the girls that I've mentioned are more my style. But Popsugar fitness is good for motivation too.

If you or anyone else is interested, I can suggest videos/workout routine if you have specific goals you want or if you wanna see some of the videos I've been doing.

I hope you find something that helps you enjoy working out at home. It's a hurdle you have to jump over and find something that works for you.

I agree. I wear a heart rate monitor at home because I tend to put in very little effort when left to my own devices. Watching the calorie burn helps me work harder

I love working out at home cause I can do it anytime and there's no commute. I love a variety of YouTube videos and since this whole lockdown thing started I've put together some fun HIIT workouts for my family to do. I also just made an outdoor workout space on my deck where I can do workout videos

I prefer to workout at home

I used to love my treadmill. I’d look forward to the time on it. Now I just stare at it... No monitvation lately, but I can feel it coming back. Stepping on the scale helped! Seeing what you gain means you can’t lie to yourself.

I miss my gym too, especially the yoga teachers. However, I discovered that I could actually run (slowly, rofl). Been running for the last 2 weeks and started adding in body weight exercises again. Lost 2kg so it’s working!

Did 4 x 1 Mile run repeats with 30 Pushups and Situps between each Tuesday. (Online training kept me at the computer a lot... Lame!
