5 Effective Exercise Videos for Health Fanatics of All Levels
Whether you've been exercising for years or started today, there's no shame in doing a beginner workout. It's an easy way to give your body light exertion as a break from intense days or to work your way up to more challenging routines.
Below, we've gathered our top five favorite ones, from Pilates to dance routines. As a disclaimer, consult your physician before making drastic changes to your daily activity, and listen to what your body tells you—it's okay to take breaks and go slower than the videos suggest.
Alexis Ren 10-Minute Ab Workout
In the early '10s, everyone wanted to look like Alexis Ren. So, she gave the people what they wanted and dropped her highly requested workout. You can still see her impact—the video has amassed over 50 million views—and it's not too bad for beginners, either.
Jessica Valant Gentle 15 Minute Pilates Workout
At the start of our Pilates journeys, we swore by Jessica Valant. Her videos were one of the few we could complete without stopping too much or causing our bodies to shake from the strain.
