Best apps for at-home workouts
Just because the gym is closed, doesn’t mean you can’t get a great workout right at home. Check out these ten totally awesome workout apps that offer streaming workouts:
1. Daily Burn
Daily Burn is a subscription workout app that offers new daily classes at 9 am ET. But, if you can’t make that time, you can always watch the recorded version later in the day, plus many other videos. Daily Burn also can create workout and nutrition plans for you based on your goals, such as toning, burning more calories, and improving your fitness.
2. CorePower on Demand
Do you love yoga, but wish it was more intense? Then CorePower might just be the thing you need! While the company has yoga studios all over the US, you can also take classes virtually. Classes range from full-body yoga and sculpting to meditation, so there’s something for everyone.
3. Peloton
You don’t have to buy a Peloton bike to access their streaming workout content online. For a small amount per month, you can stream unlimited bootcamp, strength, yoga, running, and cycling classes. You also have access to live-streamed classes available every day.
4. Barre3
Barre classes are inspired by ballet, which is excellent for toning your entire body. Barre3, which has tons of studios in 33 states, has a streaming subscription with more than 500 classes. Plus, there’s a new 30-minute class added every week. You just need a few props to get started — a core ball, resistance band, and lightweight dumbbells.
5. TA Online Studio
