There have been months that I set the goal to move or exercise for at least 10 minutes every day. This could be a quick walk outside, a short online workout video, or a few sets of burpees and other floor exercises.
While I get 45 minutes of cardio in a few days per week, I want to improve on the days I don’t get a workout in. In the middle of winter I need a push to add movement or exercise into my daily routine. Some days I put together a few sets of various exercises to get to my 10 minutes, but I often like to find a set workout or video online. There are so many great free online fitness resources!
Here are a list of Free Online Fitness Resources that I have compiled for you!

I use Bikini Body Mommy on YouTube. She has 90 day Challenge with 15-20 minutes a day. I usually take off weekends. So far, 5 days done this week!
Emily says
15-20 minutes is my ideal time for an online video. I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for sharing!
Shonda says
I’ll check out your links too. I like the organization and repetition and ways to improve.
Kim says
I love this post! So many great resources for the busy mama! I pinned it and plan to share with my friends as we reach our goals this year! Thanks for sharing!
Emily says
I’m happy you found it helpful. Thanks for pinning!
Jennifer | The Deliberate Mom says
Oh wow! I love this list of resources you shared here! Pinning this to my Deliberate Fitness board.
Your goal of 10 minutes a day is an awesome start – I should do that too. It’s more manageable that way!
Thanks for sharing.

Di says
Great resource page! I have a few quick free workout videos you can do in 15-30 minutes or less, and I just released a free health & fitness planner. Would love it if you checked it out, I’d appreciate some feedback on it. Keep moving!
Donna says
Adding movement, rather than exercise is my current goal. I’m disabled and arthritic with fibromyalgia thrown in for good measure, so for right now it’s almost impossible for me to exercise as most people think of it. I appreciate the links to resources because I can now look for gentle movements to work with. Thanks!
Gwen says
This is an excellent list! Just what I needed. I am pinning to my Health Kick Board so I can share. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!
Brittany Putman says
This is an awesome resource! I’ll be saving this for later for sure.
Debbie Wilson says
Thanks for these resources. I need some ideas. I tend to get into a rut.
Rashel says
What a great resource! Thank you for putting it together. I don’t use any online workouts right now, but I’ll definitely be keeping this for future reference.
Maria says
These are such great resources, Emily! I love the 10 minute chunks you allot yourself. Some people think it takes hours of workouts and misery during the week to be healthy, and it really doesn’t. Just a few minutes a week is all it takes, and this mini goal is a great reminder of that.
Thanks so much for sharing this on #SHINEbloghop. It’s so great for you to join us this week!
PS: signing up for your 12 mini goals challenge right now. What a wonderful idea :)
Charlene says
Great list! I also love Blogilates and Pop Pilates with Cassey Ho! Completely free on YouTube
Tanya @ Mom's Small Victories says
I REALLY need motivation to start exercising again. At the start of the new year, I normally start exercising and I haven’t even started yet. Thanks for sharing with Small Victories Sunday Linkup. Pinning to our linkup board and hope you found some great posts to visit this week!
Sarah@TheOrthodoxMama says
I love this list! Thanks! I’m especially excited to check out the Pilates video. I’m pinning for future reference.

Kali says
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful resources with us. I have been trying to figure out a way to be more active, and I definitely think I could work out 10 min. a day. Thanks for the encouragement to just get started.

My current favorites are Jessica Smith workouts. She is highly encouraging and makes working out enjoyable! I own and use several of her dvd’s for convenience, but she offers hundreds of free workouts online, which impresses me all the more. Not only that, but many of her workouts feature her mom as a workout partner. How cool is that?

Emily says
Thanks for sharing. I’ll check out her videos!
Sasha says
I would also like to recommend http://tabatagenerator.net/
It’s a website that generates a Tabata (intervals – 4 minutes) workout (based on the equipment you’ve selected), and then allows you to execute it with a synchronized timer.
Perfect for home workout with limited equipment.
Emily says
That sounds like a great tool! Thank you for sharing. :)
