Even though fitness is my career and passion, I am not unlike any other. There are days where I just don’t want any part of it. Days where I’d rather sit on a couch and binge on the latest Netflix series. Some of these days can be blamed on pure laziness (or exhaustion because having a baby can certainly do that to you) or its the result of me not wanting to think and plan what type of workout I want to do. Sure, that part should come easy considering that is what I get paid to do for others but unfortunately, because I do it so much, it sometimes gets lost when it comes to myself. Thankfully, I am not proud and don’t mind relying on outside sources to get in a fantastic workout.
I’ve always been a workout video junkie. In high school I had many and played them so much that I didn’t need to have them on to know what to do. 10+ years later and I am no different. Even though I know its not for everyone, I found that it allowed me to take a break from thinking and also offered a much needed change at times, helping re-insprie me. Assuming that I am not alone in how I feel from time to time, I wanted to put together this post and share my 10 favorite online workout videos. All are under 45 minutes long, require little to no equipment, and are promised to make you sweat!
