Some people are interested in fitness but aren’t sure they’re onlinefortable working out in front of others or aren’t ready to onlinemit to a gym membership, and that’s OKAY!

Throw on some sneakers and get outdoors! Getting some fresh air in those lungs and enjoying the outdoors can be great for both your physical and mental health. Studies show that getting outside, in general, can lead to lower blood pressure, fight depression, and even improve memory.

Consider making your walks outside even more fun by bringing along a FitBit or download an app like MyFitnessPal to track your progress as you go.


7. Use what you have at home… (including the kids)!

You can get a crazy good workout using things you already have at home, like canned goods, couches, stairs, jump ropes, chairs, hula hoops, and even your own babies and toddlers! 😄

Here are a few household item workout ideas:

  • Stairs – These are great for running up and down or doing calf raises on the edge.
  • Wall – Use any wall to do a timed wall sit…your thighs will love/hate you!
  • Jump Ropes – Using a jump rope as intended will get your heart rate up!
  • Broom – Lay a broom on the ground and jump over it side to side.
  • Canned Goods – Use soup cans for shoulder presses.
  • Hula Hoop – Place it on the ground and jump in and out of the hoop, going around the circle.
  • Chair – Perfect for doing arm dips—your triceps will feel the burn!
  • Kitchen Counter – Great for doing narrow pushups!
  • Babies/Toddlers – Kids love being part of the exercise and they make great “weights”.

    Thanks for the awesome list of potential workout sites and some that are free to try for a while. Excellent! Doing my part to be healthy as much as possible during this crazy time is something I can control. Helps with my anxiety as well. Thanks again for the list!

    • Liza (Hip Sidekick)

      You’re so very welonlinee, beaglemom46! Hoping to give a few of these a try for family fitness, too!

  2. K. Nazario

    HIGHLY reonlinemend Cosmic Kids Yoga. The storytelling element on the movie themed ones has kept my 2 and 5 year olds occupied for 30 straight minutes for the last two days!! They did the Frozen and Trolls episodes! Both super cute!

    • Kellie

      My 6 year old did both those today! She did the Frozen one, and insisted she wanted to keep going. That’s a win in my book!

    • lexie21lexie

      We LOVE Cosmic Kids Yoga🧘‍♀️ my kids do it every day since they are not old enough for school yet. Can’t reonlinemend it enough to all the other moms and dads looking to entertain their kiddos during quarantine.

    • chaeysa

      My daughter and I did this today. More entertainment than yoga but we both had fun and it broke up the monotony of the day.

    • Teah

      I came to to suggest the same! We love cosmic yoga! They are so distracting you don’t even realize your working as hard as you are. The Moana one will give you a great leg work out. I Also love to challenge people to the “bunny bounce”!! Try it they are great for kids and grown ups alike!

  3. Debi

    This is an excellent post! Thank you so much. I take it for granted how much I move around bend and twist and stand at work that I was starting to think about working out at home. Just little things. Thank you, this is truly thoughtful.

  4. dblD Amber

    Great post. Hubby and I love our gym time together and are so disappointed we can’t go but obviously we understand why. Can’t wait to get back to the gym, our hardcore workouts can sometimes be a fun sexy time for us.

  5. alh071

    Thank you!!!! My gym has been closed one day and I already miss it so much.

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      You are so welonlinee! Exercise is such a great stress reliever!

  6. lisa

    Fit On app is AHmazing and 100% free all the time!

  7. Liz

    Go noodle has some quick kids workout or dance clips. Its free to download the go noodle channel on my roku but it’s probably on YouTube too.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for the tip, Liz! Sounds fun!

  8. jessicaalvarez

    CorePower Yoga is doing 8 weeks free of their on demand classes! They’re awesome!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      How cool! Thanks so much for letting us know!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      SWEET! Thanks, Michelle!

  9. Jessie

    Sydney Cummings on YouTube is another great option. She posts a new workout every single morning at 5am EST. Strength, cardio, it’s all there. Love her channel!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for the suggestion, Jessie! I’ll have to check it out!

  10. Marinova

    My absolute favorite workout program is a onlinebination of stretching and mindfulness called Lastics, and they are offering all their videos free until the end of the month. It is sort of like yoga but for people like me who hate the meditative part of yoga because it is a “bottom up” approach instead of a “top down” approach to meditation. It is amazing at stress relief! https://lastics.online/

  11. lcb1268

    Peloton is an awesome app. They have so many workouts that are not bike related. I highly reonlinemend giving it a try.

    • Olgraygirl

      Thank you, thank you–I am so bored with my home workouts–can’t wait to try some of these options. One I would add, is HASfit on YouTube. There are a variety of fitness classes including some especially targetted to seniors or anyone with limited mobility. Great for anyone who might have Grandma staying in during these trying times. Keep up the great posts–ya’ll are a beacon of light right now!

    • Lindsay

      It’s cool that Peloton also has some family workouts. I’ve only done a few of them, but my nieces and nephew enjoy them.

  12. Tara

    Anyone know of any Yoga classes geared towards teens. We checked out the Cosmic Kids Yoga, but that was way too young for my 13 & 15 year old.

  13. Barbara

    Fitness Blender addict here. Workouts are free, easily accessible, not distracting with yelling, music or backgrounds; at all levels; and you can choose what you’re in the mood for. Find them on You Tube!

  14. Katie

    I absolutely love benderfitness.online I know it’s not on your list, but there are tons of workouts from yoga to LIIT to HITT on the website and youtube channel. They are all done by Melissa Bender, an OT, and sometimes she’ll have guests or her husband join too.

  15. Aan

    My local library has many exercise dvds (aerobics, yoga, pilates, etc.). You can check out for a week to 14 days. I do that to try the workout before I decide whether or not to purchase the dvd for my collection.

  16. A.B.

    This is great post!!! My kids and I have been using lots of YouTube exercise classes, to get our wiggles out since the pandemic began. We also enjoy Madfit (lots of variety!) on YouTube, and Jenny Ford (Marching and step classes) as well. I also have really been enjoying the classes in the Apple activity app. It’s helped me utilize our treadmill and rower, in a refreshing way. I’m just not creative enough to vary the speeds and inclines, like the coaches do, but it makes such a difference! And we LOVE Cosmic Kids Yoga, the instructor is so captivating for my littles! We have 4 kiddos, ages 5 up to 13, and they all look forward to their exercise time. I’m going to try some of these new ideas, thank you again for sharing!

  17. C

    I reonlinemend Caroline Girvan on Youtube! Her videos are free, designed in such a beautiful way and into different playlists (beginner vs intermediate/advanced levels), and there’s a supportive onlinemunity on Youtube and Facebook! She focuses on functional fitness, which is designed to help you feel stronger in your daily activities!

  18. Dmsteve1

    https://www.nourishmovelove.online I have LOVED this site that features both pregnancy workouts, HIIT workouts and tons of great recipes. She has month plans where you click on the link each day for the workout.

  19. Mary H.

    My go to free workout is jenny mcclendon on youtube
    Easy with lots of choices
    low impact aerobics
    fit over fifty

  20. Rebecca

    Came to reonlinemend Tracy Campoli who has short, free workouts on YouTube. She does have a paid option but the free ones are great to fit in some quick arm or ab work when you can. You can piece workouts together for a longer one.

  21. Heather O

    I love the Revelation Wellness workouts. They are faith based workouts. They have everything you can think of, yoga, HIIT, drumsticks and beginner/advanced options. Every month they onlinee out with a convenient calendar that has the link to the work out on every day. You do have to sign up but they are totally free!!

  22. Natalie

    I tried to sign up for the 90-day trial at Peloton but the page won’t process the payment. I spent almost an hour on the phone with customer service and they still would not honor it. They said it’s an old promotion and the current promotion is 30 days. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Darn! So sorry for the issues, Natalie! It does seem that the offer may vary, and we’ve updated the wording on that. Thanks so much for the heads up! ❤️
