Remember the beginning of quarantine?
Yeah, we don’t either.
While everybody was talking about getting in shape, if you’re like us, your main activity of the last five months was clicking from one Netflix show to the next.
But if you’re finally ready to get that body moving from the comfort of you home, check out these eight free workouts. No equipment needed.
There’s a reason Adriene’s YouTube channel has over 8 million subs.
Her accessible, engaging teaching style makes yoga fun for everyone from newbies to experts.
Her dog Benji’s regular cameos doesn’t hurt either.
If you’re looking for something specific, she creates flows to target certain muscle groups or work out body pains, like sore wrists.
Many videos are in the five-minute range, but you can put together an hour-long routine for a challenge by making a YouTube playlist.
She says “find what feels good.”
Give her channel a shot and you’ll be doing just that.
