There's little doubt that at-home workouts [1] are one of the simplest ways to fit in a sweat session with the smallest amount of effort. But that doesn't mean that it isn't daunting to plan a routine in your living room that's easy to follow and effective; that's where Alice Liveing [2] comes in. A certified personal trainer, Alice regularly shares quick home workouts that require very little equipment (with the exception of the occasional dumbbell or resistance band), with detailed photos and videos that explain every single step.
Alice's workout videos are varied, which means you can pick a different session each day, depending on your mood or how your body is feeling that day. She has sequences dedicated to the upper body, lower body, and full body, as well as moves that target the core specifically. But what sets her apart from a lot of other workout experts online is that she also focusses on daily mobility. And while these workouts might not get you hot and sweaty, they'll help you stay injury-free in the long-term. Check out a few of our favourite workouts by Alice Liveing ahead, and be sure to check out her Instagram page [3] for even more inspiration.
