Since the pandemic hit, I’ve been working out at home, with the wonderful help of YouTube. I go for pilates videos, or specific body parts I want to focus on. One of my favorite things to search is “10 minute ab workouts at home”.

When it comes to ab workouts, I prefer them short and intense. If I’m to exercise, I want it over with as fast as I can. I bet a lot of people think the same way. 

That’s why I’ve tried most 10 minute ab workouts at home on YouTube. (It’s a body part I’m trying to reduce and tone). I know the good ones and the bad ones. Which trainer is fun, but also which one’s voice I don’t like listening to. If it’s a hard workout or an easy one. Also, which one makes me sore the next day. 

So, if you’re like me, and you want to do a fast ab workout, I’m here to help you. Here are the best 10 minute ab workouts at home I found on YouTube:

Chloe Ting- Abs Workout Challenge

This is by far one of the most popular 10 minutes ab workouts at home out there. It has over 300 million views because a lot of people did her 2 week challenge and had great results with it. 

The workout in itself is pretty hard to do, but I’ve seen so many people have noticeable changes after it, so it must be great. I don’t do it all the time, because 1) I don’t like certain exercises, and 2) I don’t particularly like her. But it’s a good workout and you should definitely try it. 

Alexis Ren – 10 minute ab workout

Alexis Ren’s video is probably one of my most viewed (and used) 10 minutes ab workouts at home videos. I love the fact that it’s just music, so no small talk, clarifications, etc. I also really like the ab exercises, they are pretty easy to do and they get the job done. Definitely one of my favorite videos out there. 

Pamela Reif

This video is similar to the one before (Alexis Ren), in the sense that it has no audio instructions, it’s just music. I usually go for those, because it helps me concentrate on the actual workout. 

Exercise wise, it’s not my jam, I feel like there are too many sets with similar moves and it gets boring at times. Also, she doesn’t break between sets, and that kills me. Still, this video gets the job done, so you can definitely try it. 

MadFit – 10 minutes six pack abs for total beginners

If you like to workout with the trainer’s help and motivational speech, and most importantly, if you are a total beginner, this is the best video for you.

I love Maddie’s sessions, she also does some great song workouts. 

But this 10 minute ab workouts at home video is one of her best. I usually go for it when I want something easy and slow, not too complicated. 

Blogilates – Ab & Oblique Sculpter

I love Blogilates. She has a bubbly personality and is very passionate about fitness. She is an OG Youtuber, and has many videos, not only workout ones. Check them out!.

This particular one is a 10 minutes ab workouts at home video that targets specific muscles. If you’re a pro at ab workouts, try this one. It will help move and strengthen ALL your ab muscles. 

Whitney Simmons- Quick Beginner and Advanced Circuits

This is another fitness YouTuber I like to follow, not only for the workouts, but also for her personality. She is fun and sassy and works her ass off.

I chose this video because she has two circuits in it: a beginner and an advanced one, so you can try either one. I recommend doing 2 times the first one if you’re a beginner, and doing both circuits if you’re moderate to advanced. 

Zanna van Dijk -Total Core– 10 minute ab workout

Zanna has some wonderful at home workouts, and her abs ones are especially good. I included this one because she does a great job explaining the process and the moves, and she’s very uplifting and motivating. 

Juice & Toya – 10 Minute High Intensity Abs/Core Workout

This is a new 10 minutes ab workouts at home video I recently found on YouTube. I love the fact that it’s made by both a man and a woman, and that it includes a beginner and an advanced version of the session. 

It can be a great workout for couples, so I recommend you put this one next time you want to exercise with your partner. 

Caroline Girvan – 10 Minute Intense Lower Ab Workout

When doing ab exercises, most of us actually just want to get rid of the lower pouch. For this, there are many specific 10 minutes ab workouts at home. Like Caroline’s.

I like this one because she gives the instructions in the beginning, but the actual session is just music, and you also have visual cues, like timestamps and “next exercise”.

So here we are: my top 10 minute ab workouts at home! Let me know which is your favorite and what other YouTube workouts you do!

Some associate it with stretching, others with relaxation or meditation. Many consider it o a sport. One thing is almost unanimous: yoga has positive effects on the body and mind.

I started my own journey in 2015 or 2016. I discovered Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube in a very anxious moment of my life, and I went into it with very high hopes of curing my anxiety and making everything better. Obviously, it didn’t completely cure me, but I do think it made me feel so much better (in the days I did my practice). 

Ever since then, I’ve been recommending it to people who are stressed or feel anxious. 

“Just try a YouTube video at night, before going to bed, it’s easy, it’s mostly stretching and it will help calm you”. My usual speech.

But it definitely works, so I will recommend it to you, too. There’s nothing to lose and there are no side effects (except maybe some sore muscles, if you overdo it). 

The practices are usually around 20 to 40 minutes, and they consist of stretching and breathing exercises (well, the ones I use, anyway). 

You just need some comfy clothes, a yoga mattress (or just a towel on the carpet) and YouTube. 

So let’s go!

Here are my top yoga video routines to follow at home:

• Yoga for complete beginners. This is a great place to start. Adriene does a great job explaining everything in a simple, easy way.

• Yoga for Flexibility. This a short one to ease your muscles and make you feel better. 

• Yoga for Anxiety and Stress. One of my favorite routines I always come back to. During my anxious phase, I used to do it every other day. Definitely check it out.

• Yoga for bedtime. This one is my current favourite. A good stretch, from a calming presence. Just what I need. 

• Yoga for seniors and/or low flexibility. I usually recommend this for complete beginners. Or, as the video says, for seniors 🙂 Definitely a good one for your mom or dad. 

• Yoga for Neck and Shoulders. I always come back to this routine when I have a stiff neck from sleeping in a bad position. It definitely helps. Or you could try this neck and shoulder yoga routine. 

• Yoga for weight loss. Although yoga is mostly considered to be easy exercise, it can get hardcore and it can help you lose weight. Here is one example:

Yes, I know what you’re thinking. It’s only Adriene videos. Yes, there are, because I love her calming voice and her funny notes. She is just a lovely presence I trust, and that is the most important thing. But feel free to explore YouTube and find other channels, if you want to, there is a huge online community. 

So tell me, what are your favorite videos to follow along?
