It’s safe to say that with increased working from home and the cost-of-living crisis, people don’t necessarily want to be spending money on a gym membership. However, thanks to the wonderful world wide web, we have access to thousands of free workouts that we can enjoy from the comfort of our own homes. So, if doing the perfect squat with an audience isn’t your thing, and you want to get fit on a budget, you going to want to read on. We have put together the best free workouts you can do at home, so you can get fit, healthy and feel good from your own four walls!

Free workout apps

We don’t like to assume, but everyone has a smartphone, right? So that means we all have access to the wonders of the app world. There are plenty of free apps out there for us to try and love (hopefully). The first of our favourites is the Nike Training Club, this app gives you access to over 200 free workouts including training programmes that are targeted, and yoga sessions. There’s something for everyone. This app gives you everything from workout videos, to live sessions and a whole community of like-minded home work-outers!

If you’re into online communities, then this next one is for you. Strava is the largest sports community in the world. And you have access to it on your phone. The Strava app allows you to record over 30 activities to measure your progress, explore and connect. Allowing you to set records and motivate you to stay consistent and get moving! It’s a fantastic way to measure your progress and keep up with the good work.

Another great fitness app is “FitOn”. With unlimited access to workouts from celebrity trainers. So, if you have a favourite fitness celebrity, you can keep up with their workouts. It’s not just all about the cardio workouts though, you can access meditation videos too. So, you can work out or meditate from anywhere in the world, with no equipment required! No excuses allowed stick on that home workout playlist and you’re good to go!

Free workout plans

Okay, so the start of the year or even the month can be motivating. The idea of starting fresh and keeping fit may be appealing, but it’s easy to fall out of routine. If you don’t have a PT then it’s even easier to find excuses not to workout. With a free workout plan, you have the commitment of a workout routine to keep you going, but without the added cost.

This is why we love Muscle And Strength. A database full of workout routines for you to download for free. You can choose from many different categories to best suit your needs. For example, there are specific workouts for men and women, full body, sports performance, beginner, and celebrity workouts, just to name a few! You certainly are spoilt for choice. There are times plans so you can keep to a routine and focus staying on track. Choose from 30 days, 10 weeks and 12 weeks.

Netflix workouts

Yes, you heard us right, Netflix now has free workouts for you to try out. From the 30th of December, the Nike training club has been available to everyone with a Netflix subscription. So, if you’ve already got one it’s available at no extra cost! There are multiple series for you to watch ranging from the basics, 10, 20, and, 30-minute workouts for those of you wanting a quick fix. As well as a “two weeks to a stronger core” series with 7 episodes. We can now ask Netflix and chill to move over and make room for Netflix and gym!

YouTube videos

Our trusty platform YouTube is the second most visited search engine on the web for a reason. It’s filled with everything from influencer vlogs to what we’re after, home workout videos. If there’s something specific you want, you can search the details on YouTube and you see an array of different videos for you to choose from.

If you have a certain celeb in mind, for example, you may have heard of Joe Wicks. Well, YouTube isn’t short of its content for you to enjoy. Covid-19 brought his workout videos to light with many people wanting to keep fit in lockdown. They were a hit and still are, with over 2.82 million subscribers Joe Wicks is certainly a family favourite. You can find all his videos on The Body Coach TV channel.

If you were after something a little more “mind and soul”, yoga with Adrienne has a fantastic free 30-day yoga journey called “Center” on her YouTube channel. It focuses on the connection between your brain, body soul and heart. So not only does it let you practice your yoga but also the psychology behind it. Every day for 30 days you receive an email to check in on you, and your yoga journey. This 30-day journey is an exercise for your body and your mental health, plus, her dog Angie features too, win-win!

You should now have a good selection of home workouts to get stuck into, don’t forget there are many ways to keep fit.

The Myth of Optimal Health

The Myth of Optimal Health

We live in an age obsessed with the idea of “optimal.” The optimal diet. The optimal supplement stack. The optimal training split. Scroll through Instagram or YouTube for five minutes and you’ll find someone with a 17-step morning routine, a kitchen cupboard full of powders, and the confidence that they’ve cracked the code to human performance. But here’s the truth: Chasing “optimal” is one of the fastest ways to fall short in your health. The Illusion of Optimal Health culture has a way of dangling perfection in front of us. Big food companies do it when they market the “perfect” meal replacement shake. Biohackers do it when they promise that cold plunges, red-light therapy, and nootropics are the missing links to peak performance. But research paints a different picture. Studies on diet adherence consistently show that most people abandon strict or extreme health plans within weeks.  Fad diets, whether keto, paleo, or juice cleanses have dropout rates as high as 50–70% in the first two months. That’s not because people are weak. It’s because perfection is unsustainable. When you aim for “optimal,” you’re often aiming for something that doesn’t exist outside of a lab study or a heavily edited social feed. Consistency beats Intensity If you strip away the noise, the science is clear: the best plan is the one you can actually stick to. A Stanford University study looked at exercise adherence and found that people who built moderate, consistent routines were far more successful over the long term than those who went all in with aggressive, “optimal” plans. Think about it: Walking 8,000 steps daily is far more powerful than hitting 20,000 steps once a week. Sleeping 7–8 hours a night consistently beats the occasional marathon lie-in after a week of late nights. Eating balanced meals most of the time will always outperform the perfect, but impossible, “clean eating” schedule. Consistency doesn’t look flashy on social media. But it’s what drives lasting change in real life. The Perfection Trap The bigger danger of chasing “Optimal Health” isn’t just that it’s unrealistic. It’s that it creates guilt and paralysis. Psychologists call this all-or-nothing thinking. If you miss your “perfect” 5am workout, you write the day off. If you slip up on your diet, you feel like you’ve failed. Over time, that mindset burns people out. A review published in the Journal of Behavioural Medicine highlighted how rigid, perfectionist approaches to health goals were strongly linked to higher stress, lower motivation, and worse long-term outcomes. In other words: aiming for perfect often leaves you worse off than if you’d just aimed for “good enough” consistently. The Simplicity Advantage At Innermost, this is the philosophy we’ve always stood behind: better health should be simple, not overwhelming. We don’t believe in flashy shortcuts or marketing gimmicks. We believe in science-backed products designed to slot seamlessly into your life so you can actually stick with them. A few examples: The Hydrate Blend makes staying on top of electrolytes effortless — without the sugar, fillers, or artificial aftertaste you’ll find in the big sports drinks. The Rise Blend gives you clean energy and focus, without adding another complicated ritual to your already busy day. Our protein powders support your health and fitness goals with nutrients you and your body recognises, instead of pushing the latest overpriced fad ingredient. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s progress. Progress, not Perfection So here’s the takeaway: you don’t need the “optimal” plan. You just need a plan you’ll actually follow. If you focus on moving most days, eating whole foods when you can, sleeping properly, and staying hydrated, you’re already ahead of 90% of the population. It’s not sexy. But it works. And it’s sustainable. So the next time you feel the pressure to add another step to your routine, ask yourself: does this make my life simpler or more complicated? If it’s the latter, it probably isn’t worth it. Health isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about building momentum. An imperfect plan, done consistently, beats the “optimal” plan abandoned after a week.
