Lately I’ve been loving how I can jazz up my workout at home with all these great YouTube workout videos I’ve been finding. I can just find a great video and one minute later, I’m trying out a new exercise routine.
\And these aren’t cheap, crappy videos either. These YouTube workout videos are professional videos that rival anything you’d find on a DVD (does anyone still use those?) or streaming service.
Here are some of the ones I’ve been using – and loving!
Best Workout Videos for Women Over 50
30 Minute LOW IMPACT Walking with Weights Workout for Women over 50 with Paula B
I’m not sure how Paula B has managed to fly under my radar for so long but about a month ago she started popping up in my Pinterest feed every day and so I had to check her out. Obviously, I’ve been under a rock somewhere. Paula has over 700 videos just for the over 50 woman on YouTube and a community of women who just love her. I promise that after you do this workout, you’ll be part of that community.

Best High Intensity Interval Training Workouts on YouTube
20 Minute High Intensity Interval Training Workout
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts can blast a ton of calories in a very short time and really help you lose fat. This video from FitnessBlender is a good 20-minute HIIT workout. You’ll need to provide your own music because there’s no music on this track but I prefer that to working out along with music I don’t really like. (Pro tip: Turn off the sound, on the video, blast the music, and just follow along with what he’s doing on screen.) An on-screen calorie counter lets you know how many calories you’re burning so you’ll be motivated to finish when the going gets hard.

This workout is challenging and fun. After a 5-minute warm up, Keaira LaShae breaks down each set of moves into 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off with a 30-second break after each set. This is really high-intensity but you can modify the cool hip-hop dance moves to be right for you.
