Resolutions start to fall apart by the end of the first month after we make them. But luckily, the weather, workout outfits, and gym germs are no longer a good excuse. You can get in shape in your living room with a wide variety of workouts available across streaming. We’ve rounded up some of the best.
Cardio
Cardio Collection
Where to Watch it: Tubi
When it comes to working out, sometimes the best way to start is with a simple cardio workout. The Cardio Collection is a series of eight different cardio workouts that vary in terms of difficulty. Some of the workouts included are kickboxing, beginner cardio, and toning and conditioning. It’s a solid start to building a cardio routine into your day and to determine what kind of cardio you like doing.
Jane Fonda’s Workouts
Where to Watch it: Tubi
When it comes to home workouts Jane Fonda is still the queen. (There’s a reason she looks so good at 84!) Back in the 1980s, gyms tended to be dominated by men, so Fonda wanted to find a way for women to have a quality workout from the comfort of their own home. Her workouts are designed for beginners to more advanced students, so if you’re still fairly new to cardio, this is a great place to start. They might look dated now, but that’s part of the fun. If you’ve ever wanted to work out in a neon leotard, this video is for you!
