Free Workout Videos & Ideas
It's fun to have a workout buddy, even if they are people on YouTube. Here's some fitness YouTubers and other free ideas on how to add more exercise into your daily routine.
I love working out with Jo! She does have a paid app, but I just use her YouTube videos for free (for now). She makes getting exercise FUN, and her videos are so well put together, so you know what moves are coming up next, time left during each move...

The best FREE exercise experience is just getting outside! Explore a local park. Figure out your own walking path using your neighborhood sidewalks. Walk. Run. Move! Breathe in that fresh air and take in that sunshine!
Explore the Outdoors
Bad weather outside? Find a local mall to speed walk a few laps in! It doesn't cost you anything unless you really do need something there. IDEA: Instead of rewarding yourself with food, opt for purchasing yourself a fancy, NICE pair of workout socks...

Exercise Equipment & Must Haves
Having the right equipment and gear is important, but what do you actually need? Here's what I use.
On Cloud shoes are my favorite walking shoes! They are so easy to slip on. Feel so comfortable. I tried on SEVERAL shoes for everyday walking shoes, and when I tried these on, they felt perfect. I didn't even realize I didn't ask for what these cost ...

Shoes are important for your overall body. Find one that works for you! Saucony is one of my favorites - especially for running shoes. I suggest going to a running shoe store to find the perfect shoes for you.

Don't laugh at the 3lb weight - that gets heavy after a few reps if you are just getting into exercising! I never appreciated strength training until I could do it in the comfort of my home. I remember different lifts from grade school and also find ...

Once you get used to the YouTube workouts, start adding a little weight! I love these adjustable wrist/ankle weights. 1lb is so much extra work on the muscles, even in a quick 15min workout. The key is to get adjustable ones so you can add weight as ...

Workout Apps & Trackers
Tracking fitness and food intake keeps me honest. Here's some apps and trackers to consider.
The Fitbit app keeps me honest. I've used it for years. Fitbit was recently purchased by Google, but for what I use it for, I've seen nothing change that impacts the way I use the free app for my tracking exercise, sleep, and calories.

I've worn different fitbits over the years (started with the hip tracker!). The Charge is my favorite. It has more tracking than I need, but it doesn't have too much to it (like the more expensive Versa). It is also the perfect size on my wrist. The ...
