Whether you don’t have the money for a personal trainer, don’t have time to go to the gym or are working from home most of the time, you can still get fit in the comfort of your own home.
There are a lot of free resources to help you get started, no matter the intensity level and many of them don’t require any equipment. And you don’t need a gym pass either. You don’t need fancy equipment, you don’t need a lot of space, you just need the determination to get started and keep going.
Choose a channel that matches your personality and lifestyle, choose videos that match your fitness level and interest (to vary the types of workouts: cardio, fitness, yoga and more).
YouTube is a useful video platform that provides thousands of free exercise videos to help you stay in shape.
