1. FitnessBlender: I don't know if many people know about fitness blender (I was introduced to them last year from some friends)... but they are awesome! You can check them out on their actual website, or all their videos are on YouTube as well. Basically it's just a couple and they do workouts for you to follow along with at home or gym if you choose to bring the along there. What I really like about FitnessBlender is that some videos are like an hour long and some are 10 minutes- so you really can pick a workout that fits your needs.
2. PopSugar Fitness: So there is an actual popsugar fitness website, but that is mostly like a blog about fitness stuff (healthy recipies, etc..) but I like going on to the Popsugar Fitness YouTube channel and working out to some of their videos. I like them for quick workouts for the days when you just don't have a lot of time. You can also find some fun dancing workout videos on there, which are always fun to do in your home where no one is watching you.
3. BBG: So this is a program I have heard about for forever, but I just looked into it recently. This is a 12 week (I think) program that you buy. You can get a free week of workout pdf though if you want to see what it is all about. I got that and did some of the workouts, and honestly they are awesome! I really like how the program is structured and that it's not a "get in really great shape really fast" thing, but more of a lifestyle change. I mean, you do get a good workout and probably would see changes super fast, but the workouts don't burn you out after 2 months... ya know? Like you can maintain that fitness habit for years. There is also an app now for this, which I think is pretty cool- you can know follow along with Kayla on your phone each day.
4. Nike Training Club: This is an app that I love! First of all, it is free.. which always rocks. Mostly I use the app for quick workouts. There are a lot of workout videos that you can follow along with- some from like 45 min long to some that are only like 10.. so it's great that you can pick and choose depending on how long you have and what area you want to target. There is also an option to create a 4 week program where it will tell you what video to follow everyday. I personally have never done that, but that is also an option that probably is very good.
5. Insanity: I started doing Insanity 3 years ago in Thailand and loved it! Like yeah it's totally awful sometimes (the second month), but I loved how I felt after doing the workouts. This is something you have to purchase, and basically you get a kit with a bunch of CD's and a 2 month guide that shows you which cd to do each day. I do really like it, but there are times I want to do something different. So that is why I branched out and found other videos or programs that I can incorporate into my yearly fitness plan. I will say though that Insanity is rather intense. It is also pretty hard on the knees..
Here is a short video I made that pretty much states exactly what I just wrote... but ya know, I had to put it in there in case you wanted to see kinda what each program looks like.
Cheers to getting healthy in 2016!
