Recommendations for online fitness

[Lollyl88]

Hello

Mum of 2 looking to get fit and change my lifestyle. Low levels of fitness.

Any recommendations for online workouts that are free? Currently paying for Apple Fit which I like but I'm sure there are less pricey things out there!

Any recommendations for fitness videos I'd appreciate it/programmes that have helped you go from 0 fitness to being healthy 😊

Bodyfit by Amy on YouTube she is brilliant!

Found her during lockdown and then carried on all through her antenatal and postnatal stuff!

She has an online monthly calendar as well if you sign up to her newsletter if you needed more structure!!

I like Frame On Demand. It’s pretty cheap (approx £12 a month) and there are loads of different classes and of different lengths so can fit in around work and childcare. The dance ones are really fun to do.

Joanna Soh has loads of videos on youtube - from low impact cardio for beginners, to more difficult weights routines. There's loads to pick from.

I actually joined boxing classes to help my fitness. The lessons are free and I will be building up to take part in a charity beginners event.... SCARY! The lessons are going to be late in the evening so my partner will be home from work to take care of our DD. Hopefully this will be the start of me being fit healthy mum😥

Oh my gosh, I've signed up to do this too! My training starts at the end of this month, and my actual fight is in November - it's so out of my comfort zone but I'm excited to get started!
The main selling point for me is the 8 weeks free boxing training 😂are you doing the UWCB?

Yes it is UWCB! I am a bag of nerves just waiting to get training for it. Excited to get stuck in.

WithU has some decent free stuff

But I pay for Les Mills mostly

There's an app called Evolve You which is about £7.99 a month I think.
It has a mix of classes on it.

The Deliciously Ella app has recipes but also lots of wellness classes and is about £28 a year.

Totally feel you getting back into fitness as a mum isn’t easy, but it’s so worth it! I’ve been in a similar place, and starting with short, realistic goals made a huge difference.

For free workouts, I’d recommend checking out Fitness Blender and MadFit on YouTube they both have beginner-friendly sessions that don’t feel overwhelming. Nike Training Club also has solid free workouts, especially if you're looking for variety without spending more.

Also, just putting it out there if you ever feel inspired to share your own journey or create something for other mums like you, platforms like VPlayed are great for building your own fitness video library or streaming space. Total control, no ads, and you can even grow a community around it. For More details checkout: https://www.vplayed.com/fitness-streaming-platform.php
