With a fair chunk of your time spent at work, you might be wondering how to keep your body moving and motivated. Luckily, working out at home has never been simpler or more effective.
From Instagram to apps, there are a plethora of at-home workout programs just vying to get you up and moving, which could be a much more convenient option than going to the gym.
But, deciding on the best home workouts that are right for you is a personal choice, so to help ease the decision we’ve rounded up some of the most popular on the market.
Below, a breakdown of some great at-home workout apps to try.
Sweat
Kayla Itsines, a personal trainer from Adelaide, founded Bikini Body Guides (BBG) in 2016 with partner Tobi Pearce. The premise was based on 28-minute workouts that would help increase strength and fitness for women around the world, all from the comfort of home.
Itsines’ program has grown through her Sweat app, which now offers extensions of the BBG workouts, including BBG Stronger, BBG Beginner and BBG Zero, as well as yoga and maternity programs. The app’s most appealing feature though is its extensive global community of women that help motivate each other along the way. Not to mention, marie claire readers get 10 per cent off, plus a 14-day free trial (normally 7 days), when you sign up here.

Yoga With Adriene
Dubbed “The People’s Yogi” by The Guardian, Adriene Mishler of Yoga with Adriene is a worldwide phenomenon, and with good reason. Her mantra is “Find what feels good”, and it’s an intention she repeats frequently in her easy-to-follow videos.
Not one to push intimidating pretzel poses, her channel is for everyone from beginner to advanced yogis alike and offers a flow for every mood and need you could possibly think of, from targeting lower back pain, to lowering anxiety and boosting productivity.
She also offers videos on how to do specific yoga poses and a number of 30-challenges and a special, more fiery series for those looking to lose weight.

The Tracy Anderson Method
Counting the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham amongst its fans, A-list trainer Tracey Anderson’s eponymous method has a cult following and for good reason.
Dance-based, high intensity and seriously sweat-inducing, Anderson’s online workout programs span across beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, offering sessions between 30 minutes (for an all-level dance-cardio workout) to and hour-and-a-half (for an advanced strength workout).
