Working out - is YouTube the answer?

Hey everyone, I hope you're enjoying the gorgeous weather! Sorry for the inconsistent posting its the end of the netball season and I'm in a play that is being performed next week. But in the summer I will have more time to post so hopefully I will get into a pattern. I've been desperate to post this post because I personally love completing a good workout; it boosts my body confidence and it boosts my energy levels. I know sometimes going for a run is not ideal and not everyone's cup of tea so I recently have been completing lots of workouts on YouTube to help tone up. I wanted to share my YouTube workout experience with you so that is what I decided to do today.

The first thing is where do you look? Well some of my favourite YouTube channels for workout videos are:

POPsugar fitness - A lot of medium sized videos (15-30min) all with different focuses, they often have special guests or use interesting equipment. I really like their '10 TV Tone-up' video, it is easy to do in your living room and is really toning.

XHIT Daily - Short, high intensity workout videos each with a specific focus, I particularly love their Victoria's Secret Angels workout playlist.

FitnessBlender - Fitness Blender is run by a couple and their videos have a wide duration from 5mins to over an hour. I often use their videos if I want to do a longer more intense workout which really focuses on a very specific area.

The next question is what should my body focus be?

Obviously it is very much dependent on the individual but I think my personal body focus is definitely my legs and abs. Ive seen a huge difference and I think they are the most noticeable.

So is YouTube the answer to working out?

I don't think YouTube could ever be the complete alternate to working out because of adverts and peoples access to YouTube. But I definitely think that YouTube videos are a better alternative to workout DVDs because no one wants to pay for a DVD where they get 1 workout when they can access hundreds on YouTube for free! I would definitely recommend regularly using YouTube videos to workout if you want to get toned because the difference is insane!

Hope you enjoyed this post, see you next time!
