There is a plethora of free apps that promise to get you fit in no time. But once you install them, you find that all the good stuff is behind a paywall. Annoying, isn’t it?
So, we found apps and sites that are either free or have more than enough free content to satisfy anyone. Whether you have never stepped foot in a gym before or you’re a fitness freak, there’s something for everyone here.
1. Tone It Up’s Daily Workout (Web): Daily Exercises With GIFs
Tone It Up is one of the premier YouTube channels for fitness fanatics. But trainers Karena and Katrina are hiding something much better on their site: a daily workout plan.
Every day, the Tone It Up site posts a new daily workout. If you follow it for the whole week, it will exercise all the right muscles to give you a full-body workout.
The workout also comes with a video, along with GIFs explaining each move. Using a GIF actually works better, especially if you want to refer to it once and then move on. Plus, that means you can keep listening to your favorite music and not a video.
2. Freeletics (Web, Android, iOS): The Starter App for Beginners

Freeletics has instructional videos for all the exercises, and you don’t need any special equipment for the workout. The app also tracks your workouts by time, so you can see your progress.
3. Daily Cardio Workout (Android, iOS): Get Heart Healthy for Free
Don’t you love it when a free app does exactly what it says, without any unnecessary frills? Daily Cardio Workout is what it sounds like, and works the same on Android or iOS.
Select the amount of time you want to work out for, how many different exercises you want (up to three), and start. The app will play your new workout without going to the gym. Follow the instructions of the on-screen video, and use the app’s chimes to start and stop. How To Workout Without Going To The GymIt's hard enough setting aside time for actual exercise, but throw in your commute and it can add up to a lot of wasted time.

Gym vs. Home
It’s easier than ever to skip a gym membership and use bodyweight exercises to get fit. That’s great, since for a lot of people, getting to the gym is the big step they can’t conquer every morning. Then again, for others, the act of going to the gym is what sets them in the mood to work out.
Do you prefer working out at the gym or exercising at home?
