Resources for working out at home

I've been collecting links to fitness videos and other resources for working out at home - obviously I haven't tried these all yet, but thought others might find them useful too.

Peloton app has a free 90 day trial at the moment - apparently they have yoga, cardio, etc. that doesn't require the bike https://www.onepeloton.com/app

Fitness Blender https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos

Heart & Soul Fitness https://hasfit.com/

Planet Fitness on YT https://www.youtube.com/planetfitness

Walk @ Home w/ Leslie Sansome (anyone remember her videos?) https://www.youtube.com/user/w...../playlists

Videos from the YMCA https://ymca360.org/on-demand#/

Orangetheory at Home https://www.youtube.com/channe.....utQEOX9z9w

Heather Robinson videos https://heatherrobertson.com/m.....-calendar/

Anyone else have ones they'd recommend?

Here’s a photo of my ‘home gym!’ I’m a gym rat, and a member of the YMCA. I’ve never wanted to have a home gym or work out at home, so I don’t have any real equipment. DS#2 is experienced in strength training and power lifting. He designed a home program that is every bit as challenging as my gym program - maybe more so. I am doing body weight exercises like squats, push ups, split squats (using the bath chair we got for when my mom visits), a gallon paint can for upright row, bent over row, elastic bands (affixed to a flower basket hook) for lat pull down, rear delt fly. He has come up with a particularly nasty core routine as well. I’m working out 3 days a week, and I’ll be on my road bike as soon as the temps hit double digits (Celsius).

Thanks, Laura. Very helpful.

I am alternating between my 40 min PT exercises and yoga practice every early morning at 6am. I did this practice this morning. VERY gentle as I am getting back into yoga after my fall:

Adrienne's yoga videos were suggested by Inge! There are MANY to choose from depending on your level and needs. It's free.

I love Yoga with Adriene! So many classes to pick from. We have been doing live classes with our Yoga studio from our home studio. Kino Yoga also has classes on YouTube that are free. I am not sure what the name of the channel is but she is very popular. She has a full Primary Series Ashtanga Practice and Beginner classes. Something for everyone.

I have been doing some of the Fitness Marshall's videos at home, partly to keep fit and partly because they are so over the top that they cheer me up as well!

I've also been using these "Parent Jam" videos to get a bit of movement in during break times. It's so cute seeing families and friends dancing together:

Fitbod app has made Body Weight only workouts free for now.
I’ve found the 7M workout app very helpful. On days I don’t want to work out it’s easy to commit to only 7 minutes at a time. Once I get started I’ll usually do several workouts. On good days when I feel like a long workout I use it as my warm up.

Bookmarking this thread for use when I actually get to slow down enough to do more than work, bathe, and sleep. I actually had to buy more clothes from Walmart to have enough clean clothes to make it till Tuesday when I have a day off and can actually do laundry. My work situation is absolutely freaking ridiculous, and I haven't had time or energy for anything other than being ground to dust at work.

My gym is a certified medical fitness facility. They have posted a variety of free videos on their website: https://www.reh-fit.com/programs/reh-fit-at-home/

Aimed at members, but available to all.

Seconding Down Dog! There's a lot that can be done at home though, with little or no equipment- so easy to mix it up even without the gym. Biking, running/walking, weight lifting, Pilates, karate, dance, poi spinning (can be made with long socks and tennis balls), hooping, yoga, barre, etc.
