We all know it’s important to exercise but not all of us are able to find the time to go for a walk or head to the gym. It’s especially challenging to get up at the break of dawn and get ready to work out, especially when it’s pouring outside like it tends to do these days. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make the effort to squeeze in a quick workout before heading out for the day. There are plenty of YouTube channels that can help you. Here we are recommending some of the most popular ones.
Tone It Up
The founders of Tone It Up Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott have built a fitness empire by sharing their workout methods. Their workouts focus on toning and sculpting the body by using light weights and resistance bands. Their app has a huge variety of workouts but there are many free workout videos on their YouTube channel as well. The workouts are short and fun and you can pick the one you are in the mood for—someday you might just want to work on your upper body while on other days you can opt for their whole-body workout. They also talk about nutrition and share interesting recipes to help you stay healthy and fit.
