Being pregnant means being more health for me and my growing baby. This time around, I am trying to incorporate more exercise more into my daily life, but it has been a struggle for me. I’m not “in love” with working out. I have a gym membership but with my always changing energy levels, it can be challenging to force myself off the sofa and get in a good workout. Enter the YouTube workout videos.
I love hiking but being pregnant has made it more challenging to traverse with a toddler on my back over the river and through the woods. So, I have had to find activities that are more conducive to my growing belly.
I enjoy workout classes, but my favorite ones at the gym are right in the middle of bedtime for my younger kids. So, lately, I prefer walking in the neighborhood with friends or working out at home. Last year, when we first moved to California, I started looking for YouTube workout videos and I found some really great ones! They make getting my fitness on at home so much more fun! Today I’m sharing with you a few of my favorite YouTube workout channels for a fun workout sessions at home.
1. POPSUGAR Fitness

Besides having amazing full-body workouts, they also have videos for the busy mom short on time with workouts lasting from 10 minutes to 40 minutes.
