We have collected 10 online platforms for you that will help you gather your strength and finally start exercising at home.
5-minute express workout in your room
https://youtu.be/2XXVrJFH_Js
The Czech fitness trainer loves his job so much that he cannot live even five minutes without sports. He wishes the same for all his clients. That's why he decided to show you a new express training method. Initially, it may seem that five minutes is not enough for a full-fledged workout, but this time is quite enough to speed up your metabolism and get a good sweat. The trainer demonstrates lunges, push-ups, various plank variations, all in 5 minutes. You don’t even know what else is good about this workout. Neighbors will no longer come running to you to complain about the noise. Forget about all the excuses and take just 5 minutes a day to stay healthy and beautiful even when away from home.

Quiet cardio
https://youtu.be/Q8CRUrRekOQ
Famous YouTube fitness trainer Casey Ho claims that she created this small complex specifically for those who have a very busy schedule. Now, during night training you will no longer have to disturb your neighbors. It is also suitable for those who are currently traveling. Take just 5 minutes between sightseeing to tone yourself down. She combined her exercises with advice from another trainer in one video, so you'll get twice the advice. The girls demonstrated both super intense cardio exercises and light movements that can be performed between exercises.

Training videos are materials that allow you to acquire any sports and non-sports skill. Training videos are especially valuable in situations where you don't have access to a trainer. With the help of training videos, you can continue development indefinitely, individualizing the training process as much as possible. Training videos can be found on the HVAT.ru website, on YouTube, as well as special websites and training discs.
Pregnancy is a good reason to exercise
Regular training during pregnancy helps maintain your figure and cope with pain in the legs and back, sleep disorders, digestion and other problems associated with the restructuring of the body.

Targeted sets of exercises for pregnant women, which can be performed at home using video lessons, strengthen the muscles of the pelvis and back and help prepare for childbirth.
The degree of load depends on the initial training and the characteristics of the course of pregnancy, therefore both the exercises themselves and the frequency of their implementation must be agreed in advance with the doctor providing obstetric care.

From a bulging tummy to sculpted abs
Video exercises for the press in bodybuilding are not much different from a course for losing weight at home. The only difference is in the intensity and use of weighting to obtain relief in the area freed from fat.
The lower and upper abdominal muscles are worked out with separate movements.
To concentrate tension on problem areas, you can use elastic bands or pump the press while fixing your legs or arms. The “abdominal vacuum” technique is also used.

20-minute intensive workout at the hotel
https://youtu.be/2wUZuG1d1Go
The brutal fitness trainer demonstrated how you can perform high-intensity interval training in a small corridor. He warns that his classes are not for the faint of heart and are only suitable for the most resilient. This video will help you burn maximum fat from your body using just a couple of square meters. Here you will not find new unfamiliar exercises, but you will perform familiar push-ups, running in place, jumping squats and abdominal swings. Having completed the entire complex to the end, you will feel incredibly tired, but at the same time proud, because not everyone has the strength to withstand such a load.
Stretching is the basis of health and a good figure
The main feature of the techniques combined under the term stretching is the wide range of goals they are aimed at.
In one case, the task is to minimally replenish the need for movement, which is inherent in the human body, in the other, the skills necessary for professional sports and choreography are being developed, in the third, self-healing and rehabilitation mechanisms are launched.
Stretching is an important component of daily exercise at all fitness levels.
Involuntary stretching after sleep or a long stay in one position is a natural reproduction of the stretching technique inherent in every person by nature.
https://youtu.be/DtV1X3JD0RM
Video stretching exercises at home are presented in the form of sets for the whole body lasting 15-30 minutes, or short warm-ups that can be included in any sports training program.
Treatment courses offer the study of individual zones. In all cases, the main technique is to gradually increase the amplitude of movement and fixate at the extreme points.
Sports trainers recommend YouTube channels for motivation and training for every taste
ALEXEY NIKITYUK suspension training instructor
– I would divide the channels into several types: 1. Those where they teach the correct technique for performing exercises; 2. Those where they give oral advice and recommendations from coaches and athletes; 3. Full workouts that can be included and performed following the virtual trainer on the screen, lasting 30-50 minutes.
For home training, I mainly recommend the third direction, because it is the most effective. You can listen to advice just sitting in a chair, but when you repeat the exercises after the person on the screen, this is already a full-fledged workout.
https://youtu.be/i5nbFRUa79Q
GymRa is a fairly diverse channel. It offers both cardio and strength exercises and workouts.
BeFit has many full-length workout videos that you can do from start to finish with a trainer who sweats and strives with you, just on the other side of the screen. Good motivation, nothing less.
https://youtu.be/EFgfmBh9EIw
YougiftedRussia is another generalized Russian-language channel that I myself often watch. Here you can both strain and relax your brain and body, listen to advice and find a training program.
ANNA BURVEL fitness trainer
– I have long developed a good base and knowledge of exercise techniques. But it never hurts to learn and try something new.
https://youtu.be/geT-W72Vt14
Channel “Workout - Be in shape!” will be especially interesting to women. The creators consider and provide answers to questions that most often interest the fair half of humanity: how to pump up your buttocks and chest, do the splits, burn more calories, get rid of belly fat, lose weight effectively, etc. And a big bonus to this is interesting and healthy recipes. And the “picture” itself is very beautiful, which is good news.
https://youtu.be/7DUPRPMNbhg
The Bodymania channel is interesting because on it you can find videos about fitness and bodybuilding in completely different directions: interesting training methods, humor, nutrition tips, reports from competitions. Sports at “Bodymania” are viewed not as a hobby, but rather as a lifestyle. Plus, here you can see current athletes and coaches, and at the same time get additional motivation.
OLGA GUBAR cross-fit and stretching trainer
– I found the best channel about cross-fit a long time ago. If you want to start doing this type of exercise, there will be plenty of CrossFit channels. Personally, I choose it because of the variety of material. Here you can always find something new and unusual, created on the basis of an existing base. I like the fact that the channel has videos for different levels: both pros and beginners. Therefore, I can not only use these videos for self-development, but also advise those who come to my classes. The information here is explained competently and simply, in each video they talk about technology, which is very important.
In my opinion, Bodybuilding and Fitness is the best fitness channel for any audience. Here you can find good exercises for muscle development and stretching, entire complexes for losing and gaining weight, and nutrition tips.
YULIA TVERDAYA swimming instructor
– You can start learning to swim at any age. And if you can’t go to an instructor, then you should definitely try it yourself. And on the Internet you can easily find really useful videos that will help both ordinary people and coaches develop.
https://youtu.be/K_zkNDmfADs
I have been using this channel myself since I started working with children. Coach Alexander Postovoy demonstrates and explains swimming techniques very well, and analyzes all components of the exercises down to the smallest detail. I recommend this channel for those who know how to swim, but want to achieve better results and hone their technique.
https://youtu.be/U9vD9_z-uXM
I came across this channel quite by accident on the Internet. It was a video by swimming instructor Alexander Gerasimov. The channel will be especially useful for beginners. Here you can not only learn to swim, but also simply develop physically. On the channel you can learn about the nuances of strength training, find interesting videos on fitness, yoga and dancing. In general, you won't be bored.
JAN YANKOWSKI cheerleading coach
– What brought me to YouTube channels was the thirst for additional knowledge, development, the search for more effective new exercises and, of course, motivation. It is impossible, and indeed impossible, to constantly stew in one’s own juices, mark time, constantly doing the same thing. You need to develop, try new exercises and training programs, adopt the experience of people who have already reached some heights. In sports, as in life, it is impossible to achieve success without constant development.
I am interested in bodybuilding, cross-fit, workout, and in general a fan of a healthy lifestyle. Fortunately, now on the Internet it is not difficult to find what you need.
https://youtu.be/fxxFIJDJAz4
The first, my favorite, channel is bodybuildingcomvideo. Great workout programs, videos for women and men, beginners and professionals, for those who want to lose or gain weight, become strong, flexible, fast - whatever. Here you will find a lot of training videos and video motivations for playing sports. The only negative is that everything is in English. Although for some this will be an additional incentive to tighten it up. By the way, even without knowing the language you will find something to do here.
https://youtu.be/g6MfM5-x2Eo
Another excellent channel, already in Russian, is the channel of Sergei Badyuk. For people who live by sports, the name Sergei Badyuk should be familiar. He is an excellent trainer, sports and healthy lifestyle guru. There are not only exercises and lessons, but a whole philosophy and a unique style. I highly recommend watching the channel.
ALEXANDER PUGCHAEV fitness and bodybuilding trainer
– To be honest, I can’t recommend really good and effective channels on YouTube that would really help people get pumped up. And it’s not because I’m not interested in it, it’s just that they don’t exist. Judging by the nonsense people have been doing in the gym lately, it is thanks to these “craftsmen” that people receive the wrong knowledge and technique. On YouTube I only watch cool videos about athletes and motivation, but nothing more.
If you want to get good results from training in the gym and not get health problems from fictitious, incomprehensible exercises, use only proven and internationally recognized methodological materials. As an example - training videos on bodybuilding.com. But on this channel they will once again clearly explain and confirm to you that you cannot trust everyone who calls themselves an expert and makes training videos.
