Best Places to Find FREE Workout Videos Online

3/13/2019

When I first began doing fitness at home with videos, it was a costly habit. The internet wasn’t the valuable resource it is now when it comes to the number of free and inexpensive programs. Because of this, I would order videos from infomercials (hello, The Firm!), borrow them from a friend or get them at the library. And then I would do those videos over and over and over again with almost no variety.

Maybe I’m revealing too much about my age, but I’m SO glad those days are gone! In the past few years I’ve tried a few other workout videos and programs at home and had some really positive results with them.

I’ve always enjoyed working out at home, just because it takes the complexity out of trying to squeeze in some exercise. There’s no driving to the gym, loading up a bag, planning my outfit, etc. And I don’t need to worry about how crowded it will be. Nowadays, it’s a bonus because I can get up early and workout before my kids wake up, or I can even workout for a half hour while they play nearby.

Working out at home is definitely one of the things that has helped me stay active and healthy for the majority of my adult life.

Plus, there are amazing resources available online that you can access for free. And the sheer variety of videos and programs means you won’t get bored, and you’re less likely to hit a plateau from doing the same repetitive workouts over and over.

These are my top picks for free workout videos online:

Yoga with Adriene

This is the best source I know of to get started or continue with Yoga. Adriene shows different yoga sessions to help with a number of issues and ailments. She categorizes her yoga videos by their benefit. From using yoga to kick your bad mood to using Yoga to wake up for the day. If you're a beginner or more advanced, you'll find both types of videos in her library.

Tone it Up

I absolutely fell in love with Katrina and Karena when they had a short series on Bravo years ago. Since then I've followed along with their workouts and social media. Their page has SO many different types of workouts you can do from yoga to HIIT. The best part is their workouts have THE best music, hands down. These workouts may look super girly, but they are TOUGH. You'll love them!

Jessica Smith TV

Jessica's library of full length workouts is AMAZING. Seriously. Most of her workouts are between 20 and 30 minutes, which is perfect for your busy day. She has HIIT workouts for beginners to get you started on more intense workouts. I love that she also has some great Barre workouts as well as shorter 10 minute workouts you can combine. This is one of the largest libraries for free workout videos around.

Get Healthy U

Chris Freyteg, a fellow Minnesota gal, is the creator of Get Healthy U, which has a library of 10 minute videos. The videos are perfect for doing individually or combining them to create a longer workout. No matter how you do it, you can get some serious variety in your workouts by mixing and matching.

Shauna Kathleen YouTube Channel

If you've ever wanted to try Barre in the comfort of your own home, then Shauna Kathleen is THE video channel for you. Her collection of videos will never leave you bored and will never get old....you'll love it! It's a great way to try out this program and get a feel for it before you try a class.

I just told my husband this morning that I want to find some online workout videos. I really want to start yoga again, so I'll have to try that one out for sure, and maybe give a few others a try. Now I just have to find the right time.

I love workout videos for home use. It allows me to sneak in a workout quickly without having to drag my kiddos to the gym. I'll have to check out some of your recommendations.

I've been wanting to start working out but hate going to the gym (I'm a homebody). I even work from home. So these are perfect. I'm going to have to check it out some of your recommendations.
