When I was first starting to work out at home back in 2010, I bought a DVD with some weirdly dressed dancers and decided to try it.

I was clumsy, didn’t know what I was doing, but would not give up. That DVD was like a car accident – you just can’t seem to stop looking (and moving along).

To my surprise at the end of the 45 minutes I did, I was sweating and felt better than ever. Like better than ever. Better than a smoothie, better than a walk in the park, better than drinking a glass of wine when I’m stressed.

I felt so alive and all my neck pain was suddenly gone.

I liked this feeling so much that I continued doing the workout the next day and then the next day and then the next day. It was so much fun! I mixed and matched – one day I would do 30 min, one day 20, the next 45.

Within 2 weeks I was already seeing difference in my body composition and my face had gotten slimmer. (my face is kinda chubby and along with my belly – the first place I gain fat)

Well, well, well. Look who’s getting in shape by dancing like a weirdo.

That DVD was Pump it up: The Ultimate Dance Workout.

Now 7 years have passed and this DVD is still, one of my favorite workouts EVER. I’ve been to Zumba classes, basketball, aerobic classes, salsa classes (HATE them) – nothing really has pushed me this much and made me feel so amazing and like I’ve really had fun and exercised A LOT.

But!

Last year, when I was doing my get fit and healthy challenge I committed to trying more new at home workouts. And because I wanted to try many of them – I decided to test free workouts. (I’m not going to pay a small fortune on workouts I haven’t tested). And so I did.

Let me tell you, the fact that these workouts below are free is proof that the universe (or God, or someone out there) loves us.

Because they’re just as good, if not better than most workouts I’ve ever done.

Intense, challenging, but so much fun. To me, they’re THE BEST free workouts that can help me lose weight (especially belly fat) & build muscle.

These free at home workouts can get you in shape and you can see results within weeks when you stay consistent.

Aaand what’s the best way to stay consistent?

That’s right – you make yourself a workout plan and commit! If you need some help on how to do it – take a look how I create a workout plan for myself here.

The way I structured my workout plan using these workouts was:

Monday: Cardio

Tuesday: Barre/Pilates/Toning

Wednesday: Yoga/Stretching

Thursday: Cardio

Friday: Barre/Pilates/Toning

Saturday: Yoga/Stretching

Sunday: Active rest – go out for a walk or a hike

For the yoga workouts – I did either a short yoga morning workout or the yoga video for neck and shoulders I’m always talking about.

Now you can use my workout plan or come up with your very own and include other workouts you like!

Without further ado, let’s get to the workouts that will get you in shape, even if you don’t leave your home.

(I count this cardio)

By far, in my honest opinion, – the most challenging workout to help you lose fat and get in shape quick. It’s intense, you’ll be sweating and you’ll feel energized when you’re done.

But while you’re doing it? Oh my…

You’ll probably want to quit multiple times, because it’s that intense. At least that’s how it was for me. But I promise, if you keep going and listen to your body, take breaks whenever you feel you need to – you’ll be proud of yourself!

Alright, Neeeext

Last, but not least – this AMAZING, super intense Pilates workout! You’ll burn calories, tone EVERYTHING and feel like you can’t anymore, but you’ll continue and realize you can do more than you thought!

This workout is one of my favorites on the POPSUGAR Fitness channel and I always go back to it when I feel like I need a challenge.

Well, there you have it – the 5 absolute best at home workouts to get in shape for free! Give them a try and let me know how it goes – I just hope I’m not the one who’s out of shape and you find those too easy…If you do – you need to tell me your secret!
