We’re fast approaching 2019 but for some of us, the new old year’s resolution of keeping fit remains an unchecked box. Luckily, it’s never too late to start.
If the daily grind’s left you with no time to attend the many gym and spin classes here, fret not ‘cause health begins at home. Just hit up these 7 YouTube fitness channels for workouts that can be done anytime, anywhere – for free.
For those who are afraid of lifting heavy gym equipment, then calisthenics will be right up your alley ‘cause it utilises the best instrument there is: your body.
Whether you’re a beginner or veteran, OFFICIALTHENX will make calisthenics look easy with step-by-step bodyweight exercises that target various areas like your abs, glutes, and biceps. You can also find videos on proper form and common workout mistakes, ensuring that your routine is at top condition.
Admittedly, calisthenics might be a lil’ hard to do if you’re a beginner. So invest in resistance bands to help lift off some of that body weight as you work out.
Listening to music as we exercise always gets us into the groove, which makes sweating it out just a bit more fun. Well, Blogilates’ Cassey Ho takes it up a notch by incorporating pilates with music, so you’ll be working out to the beat of the music.
For those who’d like something more intense, check out her Pilates Intense Interval Training (PIIT) videos, where she meshes HIIT and pilates, and themes them after popular franchises like Street Fighter and Sailor Moon.
If you’ve always wanted to start doing yoga without feeling paiseh about stumbling about, Yoga With Tim has full-length yoga videos which you can attempt in the privacy of your own room.
Once you’re feeling more confident, grab a yoga mat and go for their 30-day yoga challenge which will teach you different yoga forms for a month.
If the high intensity of other workouts has got you losing track of everything the instructor is saying, then Group HIIT is probably a welcome change of pace. Click on any of their videos and you’ll probably be surprised at how there’s no sound at all.
Only words and a silent instructor will be your guide as you attempt these HIIT exercises, which makes them great for those who learn better via reading.

Sift through her many videos and you’ll definitely find a routine that’s catered for you – be it Yoga for Couch Potatoes or Yoga for Diabetes.
