Naptime is the perfect time to squeeze in a quick workout. But that also means I’m stuck at home while the kiddos are snoozing. I don’t have a treadmill or other hefty gym equipment, so I rely on streaming video content to keep my workouts interesting. I recently discovered that has some fabulous channels filled with almost endless, amazing workouts!
Here is a list of my absolute favorite free streaming workouts on Hulu Plus:
Exercise TV
Exercise TV has an EXTENSIVE stable of shows to appeal to every workout preference. My favorites include: Rock Hard Body by Jake- Two 40-minute, full body workouts, and one 20-minute Ab-focused intensive, so you will seriously steam up the playroom.
Yoga & Pilates- Exercise TV provides four 20-minute routines, a ten-minute AM Yoga set, and a 10-minute Pilates Abs set. All of them are both calming and challenging, and the perfect amount of time for mom to squeeze in a quick workout or two throughout the day.
January Jumpstart- If you really like 10-minute workouts, January Jumpstart is the best I’ve found. Eight titles to choose from make for endless combinations of 10-minute workouts that will get your heart pumping and muscles burning.
Six Pack Abs- If your midsection is the focus of your strength training, Six Minute Abs will do your body good. This is another group of 10-minute, hard hitting, ab-tastic workouts, with one 20-minute routine thrown in. Work your midsection 10 minutes at a time.
Gaiam
There are a ton of clips and tips provided by Gaiam, but my favorite workouts are:
Gaiam Yoga- A bunch of awesome 10-15 minute Yoga routines to really work your flexibility and balance.
Gaiam Pilates- Love all these 10-15 minute strengthening and stretching routines. Perfect to squeeze in a challenging workout in no time flat.
Wake up Workout- This series gives you a little taste of everything from Kickboxing to Cardio Dance. Each workout is about 20 minutes, which is perfect for those crazy days when I want to workout, but still need to prep dinner before everyone wakes up from their naps.
