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.

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.

The Complete Guide To Halal Protein Powder

When it comes to improving your fitness levels, lifestyle and nutrition are key. From the number of hours of sleep you get each night to your daily nutrition and everything in between, each is as important as the other. This extends to finding the right protein powder to fuel your workout routine. Yet today more than ever, what goes into that shaker bottle now goes beyond macros and muscle; more and more people are asking themselves – ‘how does this protein powder align with my religious values and beliefs?’ While we’ve spoken before about our clean, research based and ethically sourced ingredients here at Innermost, this time we want to get a little more specific with a focus on halal and halal protein powder. With so many voices and fluff information around, it can be difficult to know exactly what protein is and isn’t halal friendly. That’s why we’ve put together this nifty guide. We’re going to break down all the myths and everything you need to know about halal protein. What you should be looking out for, what makes proteins like whey halal friendly as well as the benefits that halal friendly protein can offer to your body.  Right, let’s get into it. What is halal protein? I’m sure most of you are already aware of halal, but for the 1% of you that might not be, let’s take a step back and ask: what is halal protein? Halal – meaning ‘permissible’ in Arabic – refers to any food product that complies with Islamic dietary laws as stated within the Qur’an and Islamic jurisprudence. This makes it a core element of Islamic faith and a key cornerstone of their commitment to leading a pure and disciplined life under the guidance of Allah. Some of the key guidelines for halal foods include: Halal friendly ingredients – certain ingredients are not permissible under a halal diet, including pork (and any byproducts), alcohol and blood. Other animal products can be halal as long as they are killed in accordance with the ethical treatment guidelines below. Ethical treatment of animals – For non-pork meats to be considered halal, animals must be treated humanly and responsibly during their life. This includes: Having access to clean water and nutritious food. Being raised in a free-range and stress-free environment. Not being subjected to cruelty, abuse, or unnecessary suffering. The process of killing any animal must also be quick and humane to be considered halal, with any suffering kept to the complete minimum. Importantly, to be considered halal, the name of Allah must be pronounced during the humane killing to ensure the sanctity of life is recognised throughout the process. No cross contamination - During the preparation process, halal foods must never come into contact with non halal foods. This means no cross contamination between preparation surfaces, equipment used, the handling of foods and storage. As such, ingredients such as milk can be halal however it depends on the production process and if additional non-halal additives (such as gelatin) are added. So, what does this mean for protein?  Essentially any animal protein is halal as long as it adheres to the guidelines we’ve mentioned. The best way to tell is that products – such as Innermost proteins - will be certified halal friendly on the packaging. Is protein powder halal? So, with that said you might be wondering: is my choice of protein powder halal? The truth is that protein powder can absolutely be halal, however it entirely depends on the ingredients used as well as the overall production process. Common protein sources like whey, casein, egg white, and plant-based proteins (such as pea, soy, or rice) can all be halal if they are sourced and manufactured in compliance with halal standards. While many of the larger brands do not meet these standards and cannot claim to offer halal protein, our range of Innermost protein powders and supplements are all certified halal, emphasising our dedication to ethical sourcing our use of clean sourcing without additives. From our pea protein fuelled (and vegan) The Health Protein, The Fit Protein, to our whey protein powered The Strong Protein and The Lean Protein, all our products are sourced in a halal-compliant manner. Benefits of halal protein powder You hear it all the time when it comes to ethical and dietary beliefs – ‘a vegan diet isn’t good for you’ or ‘a vegetarian mix can’t possibly have the nutrients you need. The reality is, that adhering to these sorts of values within your fitness routine and diet can have great benefits for the body. Halal protein powders are no different; they offer a range of benefits for individuals who are conscious of both their health and dietary requirements. Just some of the benefits of halal protein powder are: Clean ingredients: With halal protein powders, you can be confident that there will be no harmful or questionable ingredients/ additives such as silica. What does this mean? Your body has an easier job digesting and absorbing all the good stuff, ensuring you get the most out of your supplements. Quality protein: Halal protein powders use complete protein sources, ensuring your body gets all the amino acids it needs for effective muscle repair and growth.  Ethical production: We’ve mentioned plenty of times already, but that’s just how key ethical and clean production is to making protein halal. By avoiding things such as additional additives and cross contamination, your body is fuelled with a safer and more trustworthy supplement. Supports fitness and wellness goals: Whatever your fitness goals; halal protein has you covered. From building muscle to losing weight, the absence of excess sugars or fillers ensures you are best placed to smash your targets. Common misconceptions about halal protein powders With so much noise and no real answers around halal proteins, we thought it would be helpful to list of some of the key misconceptions regarding the diet and what the actual truths are. All vegan protein powders are halal Given that so much of halal is driven by animals and their ethical treatment, you might just assume every vegan protein powder is halal because it is made of.. well, plants. The reality however is that vegan proteins aren’t necessarily halal – it all comes down to the production process. While Innermost vegan proteins are proudly halal certified, other protein powders can be produced with alcohol-based flavourings, non-halal emulsifiers, or might be processed in facilities that handle haram products – leading to cross contamination – not good! Is whey protein halal? On the other side of the spectrum, whey protein – being a byproduct of milk – is generally considered to be haram. Again, the truth is that whey protein can be halal provided that the milk is taken from cows that were treated ethically and within halal principles. Today, there are many halal-certified whey protein powders that are safe and effective for Muslim consumers. Halal certification doesn’t matter There is often an assumption made that if the ingredients look clean then the protein must be halal – regardless of certification. The truth is that what makes something halal goes beyond ingredients. Production and sourcing our also key factors that many companies do not consider. With halal certification on your favourite protein powders, you can be sure that every step—from sourcing and production to packaging and distribution—has been reviewed and approved according to strict halal standards.  Is Innermost protein powder halal? In short, yes. We at Innermost make it our mission to not only aid in muscle growth and recovery, but also to create protein supplements that are ethically sourced and rigorously tested to ensure individuals of any faith can smash their fitness goals.  Unlike competitors, our proteins are clean and built with the highest quality of ingredients and free from unnecessary additives and artificial ingredients.   We are proud to say that all our products are officially halal certified making them a suitable choice for those following the halal beliefs. This certification ensures that all ingredients and manufacturing processes meet Islamic dietary laws, with no use of haram substances such as pork derivatives or alcohol. With this in mind, why not check out our range of Innermost supplements to find out more about our halal proteins?
