Share:
After the indulgence of Christmas, many of us have health-focused resolutions for January. Maybe you have a specific goal in mind – you want to run a mile without stopping or do a full press up. Or perhaps you just know you want to move your body to feel healthier, stronger, and better mentally as well as physically. January is as good a time as any to roll out the yoga mat, pull on your trainers or just get jumping around your living room.
If you don’t have the money or time to make use of a gym membership, then online workouts are a good alternative. There are a lot of pros to exercising at home: for one, there’s no one around which means zero embarrassment as you attempt the eagle pose, but also, it can be completely free as there are literally hundreds of fitness videos on YouTube that you can follow along with.
Anyone can upload a video to YouTube and claim to know what they’re talking about, so to keep yourself safe we’ve rounded up some of the best fitness YouTubers who really know their stuff when it comes to all things exercise. Mad Fit. Canadian fitness YouTuber Mad Fit, real name Maddie Lymburner, has a great selection of videos that are perfect for working out at home.
