There are a lot of free workout videos these days. So many programs and so much free content. Where to start? Some of my favourites are provided by governments groups and agencies in Canada and the UK. You know there’s no sales pitch and impossible promises at the end. They’re very accessible and I love all the short options and all the dance options.

My fave thing? Everything, even the dance classes, includes a chair option
