Trying to keep the blood pumping in the absence of the gym? Loads of us are taking to our living rooms and gardens to get a sweat on.

Or maybe you’re new to the fitness world, dipping your toes in for an energy boost or to get the endorphins rushing. Helping you get started or stay motivated, here are some of the best at-home workout YouTubers and influencers to follow along with.

A favourite of it-girl and designer Alexa Chung, ballet barre classes are the hottest fitness craze sweeping the globe right now. Combining principles of dance with toning and cardio exercises, Ballet Beautiful is a great way to tone up and get in a good core workout at home without doing boring and painful crunches or sit-ups. While it’s sure to leave you aching, a ballet class is also super calming. Either dress for the occasion in ballet shoes, or simply socks and leggings, and get ready to feel graceful. With over 6 years worth of videos on their channel, Ballet Beautiful is easily one of the best at-home workout Youtubers, we especially love their lean legs workout. Oh, and on lazy days, you can follow along with their tutorials on how to do the perfect ballet bun!

#2 MadFit

Posting realtime work out videos so you can follow along with exactly what she’s doing, the best thing about Maddie’s youtube channel is the huge range of videos.

#3 The Body Coach TV

If you haven’t heard of Joe Wicks by now, you’ll have been living under a rock. The personal trainer shot to fame last year when he launched his P.E with Joe throughout the first U.K lockdown, to encourage kids who were missing out on P.E lessons at school to get active. Joe has become a poster boy for keeping fit during the pandemic and even raised £200,000 for the NHS and over £1m for Children in Need in a 24 hour exercise challenge. But for us grown ups, Joe also shoots HIIT workouts on his YouTube channel The Body Coach TV, on a weekly basis. Suitable for everyone from beginners to experts and working in a circuit style with a number or moves, which you can do with body weight or dumbbells, to make the exercise harder or easier. Each workout is between around 20-30 minutes and can be done in the comfort of your living room.
