Looking for some inspiration for at home workouts - I really enjoy Yoga with Adrienne videos but would love to hear what you all like.

Fitness blender is excellent, totally free and hundreds of different workouts to choose from. I do 2-3 a week

Les Mills on Demand.

After years of 20 -30 mins HIIT workouts, I now regularly do the 55 mins Bodycombat or Bodypump (there’s lots shorter too). It’s fabulous and has changed my figure.

Oh I meant Pilates with Lottie Murphy

I love Bodyfit by Amy on YouTube. A really good mix of workouts, some with equipment and some without.
I love this too. Mixed with Yoga with Lottie Murphy

I'll second Sydney Cummings, she's got stacks of great workouts on Youtube.

Fit By Coach Kel is wonderful. You can try her stuff for free on YouTube first to see if you get on with it. It's barre/sculpt/tone stuff, lots of core work and most importantly for me - no jumping so I can do the videos when the kids are in bed and also my downstairs neighbours don't hate me!!

You can do most of the videos without any equipment, or just stuff you have at home like tins of beans or a rolled up towel or stuffed toy instead of a Pilates ball. And hold onto the back of a chair or kitchen counter for a barre.

I love fitness marshall! He’s got me through all the lockdowns.

Les Mills on Demand.

Mostly I do Body Combat but sometimes do Body Attack or Sh'Bam if I fancy an extra 20-30 mins of exercise.

I use the FitOn app. Loads and loads of free workouts of every variety. The app sets a programme for you to follow if you want. Completely converted me from someone who never exercised to someone who works out 4/5 times a week totally consistently. I've gone from using 1kg dumbbells to 5kg ones. Love it.

My faves on YouTube are Sydney Cummings, Tracy Steen, Heather Robertson and Caroline Girvan. You will be spoilt for choice!

I love Les Mills on Demand. So much variety, there's always something to do (with or without equipment) whatever your mood.

I got a couple of kettlebells and they are my favourite bit of home exercise equipment. So much stuff you can do with them, a great blend of cardio and strength and good with limited space.

If I am pushed for time I just do alternating blocks of kettlebell swings and goblet squats. Maybe add some push ups and planks and some rows with the kettlebell for upper body and job done.

You do need a bit of instruction to get the form right at first but after that you have yourself an amazingly compact, versatile bit of kit. I started with an 8kg and a 12kg and now I have a 10kg and a 16kg as well. I use the lighter ones for upper body like windmills and overhead pressing and the heavier ones for swings and lower body stuff.

I like the sweat app. Loads of workouts and I have got really strong doing it at home.
