Orangetheory Fitness Offering Free At-Home Workouts

Orangetheory Fitness is offering free, at-home workouts while gyms are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The fitness studio franchise created Orangetheory At Home to help users stay fit and active while stuck at home. Each day, a new 30 minute workout is posted on the website and on Orangetheory social channels.

Here is the first of many “Orangetheory at Home” workouts. These are created by the very same team that creates the in-studio workouts, with the difference being that we know you may not have weights or a treadmill, and you may not be able to go outside. Stay active, healthy and safe.

The workouts are developed by the same team that creates Orangetheory’s in-studio workouts and feature popular Orangetheory coaches from around the globe.

Orangetheory designed the workouts knowing that you may not have weights or special equipment. Each simple workout uses common household items like chairs, backpacks, jugs of laundry detergent – or whatever you can find!

In addition to daily workouts, Orangetheory At Home provides lots of health and fitness tips to help you “achieve More Life” during this unprecedented coronavirus pandemic and beyond.

Beachbody Offers Free Kids Workouts While Schools Are Closed

Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler announced on March, 19, that the home fitness giant is offering free kids workouts while schools are closed due to the current coronavirus pandemic.

From the most unlikely source, our legal department said they were getting requests from schools and educators for access to our kids content during the massive school closures. There are complications with the prospect of signing up kids on the Beachbody On Demand platform, so we put the word out to @tonyshorton, @shaunt, and @leandrofitness who have created kids content for us, and asked if they’d be ok letting us offer parts of their appropriate programs for free through Vimeo. Each of them immediately said “Absolutely!” which shows the real heart of Beachbody Super Trainers. If your school needs a way to hold a virtual recess, those workouts are available free during the current situation at https://vimeo.com/showcase/6880106

The free Beachbody kids workout lineup includes selections from celebrity trainers ShaunT, Tony Horton, and Leandro Carvalho.

And these workouts aren’t just for kids – the whole family can enjoy them together! I did the YOUv2 program when I was recovering from back issues and needed something low impact without a lot of floor work. It’s upbeat, fun, and Leandro is so positive and encouraging. I was always smiling by the time I finished each workout.

Exercise is a great stress reliever and we can all benefit from that right now.

You don’t need Beachbody on Demand or a Team Beachbody account to access these free workouts for kids. Simply check them out on Vimeo and your kids will be up and moving in no time!

Free Home Workouts for Kids to Try While Schools Are Closed

I wasn’t prepared to launch the blog just yet. However, this is a crazy time where nothing seems to be going quite as any of us planned, thanks to the current worldwide coronavirus pandemic.

Many of you have suddenly found yourselves in charge of your kids’ educations – some of you while also being forced to work at home until further notice. You’re worried about how to juggle school work, your work, feeding everyone three meals a day (plus snacks), and keeping toilet paper in the house. Not to mention all the other emotional stress and concerns this situation brings to us all. My heart goes out to all of you and your families.

I’ve been a work-at-home, homeschooling mom for a while. I’ve put together a few free kids’ home workouts that I’ve discovered over the years. These resources will help keep your kids physically active and get some of their energy out while stuck at home.

Be sure you’re getting your exercise in, too. It will help you manage stress and give you a much needed boost to get through this challenging time.

I’m amazed at all the wonderful resources that are becoming available daily to help keep kids active and engaged in this unprecedented situation. I will try to update as new workouts and activities for kids pop up.

Cosmic Kids Yoga

Cosmic Kids blends yoga and mindfulness with imaginative storytelling. It’s a wonderful way to start, breakup, or end the day.

Les Mills Born to Move

Did you know that Les Mills has fun, free kids’ workout videos as part of their Born to Move series? Look for the videos without the little lock icon in the lower right corner. These are available without a subscription.

Fitness Blender Kids Workout

Fitness Blender has a free 25 Minute Fun Workout for Kids at Home that takes users through three different games to burn off all that excess energy.

GoNoodle Good Energy at Home

GoNoodle is offering a free online resource called Good Energy at Home to help kids and families learn and move together at home.

Walk at Home

I’ve been doing Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home workouts for a couple of years and love them. Walk at Home offers many free workout videos on Youtube. The whole family can workout to most all of them, but kids will especially enjoy the Walk 15 Family Mile with Nick. There’s also a Teen Walk for the older kids!
