YouTube work out videos?

47 replies

I'm after easy to follow work out videos that are about 20 mins.

I'd quite like a mix of cardio and also some for toning/strengthening.

Any recommendations for basic equipment? I had toyed with getting a kettlebell and resistance bands, but unsure how you decide what weight to get, and not even really sure how to use them if I'm honest!

My fitness level has been good in the past, but have let it slide lately, so recommendations welcome, thank you.

@Yourownpersonaljesus

I like Team Body Project. I just have dumbbells (2kg and 4kg).
@Yourownpersonaljesus - yes I love the Body Project too!
Gonnagetgoing · 31/12/2021 21:08

I’d start off with light dumbbells for now. I have no idea re kettle bells or resistance bands.

They don't play music so I have a tablet with their video and my phone next to it with my music. They have a demo and clear countdown too.

I have never heard of Lucy Wyndham-Reed and just googled her, she’s 51??? Bloody hell, I thought she was in her late 20s!

Hilly17 · 31/12/2021 21:20

Team body project for me to.

Caroline Girvan. Hard strength based workouts, with no toxic diet culture talk. She’s a bad ass goddess with muscles to die for, but she also coordinates her daily flowers with her workout outfit.

Pop sugar work outs are fantastic , range in length from 10-60 mins. There is every type from cardio to boxing. Highly recommend

TwinkleToesStrikesAgain · 31/12/2021 23:08

Missing the point atogether - where do you do the workouts? There's only a narrow gap between my bed and the wall, and the kids are often in the lounge - I guess I could prop my phone up in the kitchen??

Xiaoxiong · 01/01/2022 10:14

@TwinkleToesStrikesAgain anywhere there is space! Kitchen is fine if you have space. I also sometimes do them in the living room after the kids are in bed, before they wake up, or in my lunch break when they're at school and I'm WFH.

@Thisislifefornow - I like pop sugar for variety too. There’s a great hip hop tabata one which I love.

@TwinkleToesStrikesAgain - at home I do anywhere.

When I stayed at DM’s recently in her spare room there I just used space between bed and bookshelf (with yoga mat) and put iPad on stand.

Caroline Gibran is amazing for home workouts

megletthesecond · 01/01/2022 18:06

twinkle I have a garden so do it outdoors. There's no space inside and I'd rather have weights outside anyway. I decided early on in the pandemic I didn't care that my neighbours could see me.

PerpetualStudent · 01/01/2022 18:11

I do mine in our kitchen/diner - only place in the house I have both the ceiling height and the WiFi! Family just have to work around me!
This year I am hopefully getting a shed/office where I can also keep my workout stuff - very much looking forward to that!

TwinkleToesStrikesAgain · 01/01/2022 18:39

Thank you all - I feel rather vain asking but in the promos is always someone in a large lounge with a 2m TV doing the workout and that's not me, trapped by the bed on one side, the wall on the other, trying to prop up my phone with a book, constantly trying to find my glasses so I can see what's going on.

It's just me, isn't it?

Itsnotdeep · 02/01/2022 14:56

Lucy W-R is 51?! Jesus.

I do one of her glutes routines and also do Caroline Girvan quite religiously.

Itsnotdeep · 02/01/2022 14:58

@TwinkleToesStrikesAgain I do it in my bedroom. Moving the laptop around for the exercises.

From the Caroline Girvan FB group it's evident that alot of people do the workouts in their living rooms.

Slowdownandsee · 02/01/2022 18:05
