Saturday Fitness Post: Favourite fitness and health sites

I received a comment from lovely Numra A in my last Saturday Fitness post. She asked me who do I follow for my workout routine. I replied and the next comment I received was from Bright Town Girl and she found my previous reply useful. I got inspired to write today's post. Thanks girls ;)


*I got all pictures on google.*



I've already mentioned Zuzka Light, but she was my inspiration to start working out on regular basis. She does HIIT - high intense interval training, about 10 minutes up to 30 minutes per day. If you remember, I done her Zcut power cardio series this year and gave me amazing results in just one month (read a review: here).
Even though she's now charging to excess her workout's, she has few new workouts every week. She's still much cheaper than any gym membership and she does that for a living, so you can't really be angry at her :).
If you're not ready to pay for the membership, she still has 70 charge free workouts (ZWOWs - Zuzka's workout of the week) on her YouTube channel, has a lot of recipes, tips, trick and advice + she also has 3, 4 or 5 minute short workouts for busy days. I like her zen and happy persona. She's a cool chick, check her out :)

My favourite health channel has to be Lean Secrets. I already mentioned her in my Favourite YouTube channels post and I'm going to mention her one billion times more. Brenda has very informative videos (why you should stop eating wheat, drinking coffee, about carb cycling ...), gives advice for fitness chicks, how to get ready for fitness, gives the best recipes, motivates you, shows you workouts, what equipment should you use, reviews fitness and health stuff ... To sum up - everything fitness and health related :).
She also has a program called Lean Secrets, which you can purchase on her website. She radiated positive energy and strength. Amazing woman.

I've been into yoga lately, because I injured my knee awhile age and I wasn't able to exercise for more than a month (miss my muscle definition!), and yoga just feels right for me right now. I found Yoga with Adriene on YouTube and I've been doing her flows and I can assure you that they're not easy. Yoga is really challenging, because you have to control every movement, finding your breath and some transitions are really hard. People who say that yoga is easy, apparently they have never tried it :).
Adriene is really sweet, funny and gives useful advice. I think you'll like her if you're into yoga.

I also follow Blogilates, but never done her workouts, since I've been doing mainly HIIT, but her workouts look challenging. I love her recipes though. She does Cheap clean eats and shows you that eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive. She's really bubbly and funny as well.

I cannot finish this fitness post without mentioning the taughest fitness trainer, Jillian Michaels. I think that everyone knows her 30 day shred exercising programme. I did them myself, but I get bored if I have to repeat the same exercise for few days in a row. Anyways, I love her story (she was a fat kid), became extremely successful, has written best selling books ... Inspirational :) You can also watch The Biggest loser on YouTube, she was one of the trainers.

For her workouts I just typed Jillian Michales and you can check them here: YouTube


Other sites I use for motivation are:
- my blog :P (sometimes I need to reread my own advice, recipes etc.). Shameless self-promotion :) ;
- if I'm searching for more motivation, pictures, quotes etc., I go through Pinterest (no sh*t ;)). Check out my boards: http://www.pinterest.com/booogeywoman/. I use Google for those, too ;)
- Cut and Jacked has a lot of fitness stories, interviews, recipes ... Even though those girls and guys are all bulky (and I'm not), I still find it as a great source of information. Check out their site: http://www.cutandjacked.com/
- Another site for recipes, diet tips, advice ... is Shape Magazine. http://www.shape.com/
- Tone It Up - I'm subscribed to them, but somehow I always forget to watch their videos (too many subscribtions problem). They are nice chicks, they have workout videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/ToneItUpcom


I hope you found this post useful. Tell what fitness/health sites and YouTube channels do you follow?

Thank you for reading and commenting <3

My favourite YouTube channels

Blogmas day 2 :).
Today I decided to share with you some of my favourite YouTubers. So, let's just start ;)

*I screen shot all the pictures from their videos. Click on their names which will lead you to their YouTube channel*


Cool chick, makeup artist, she does from beauty videos to fashion to recipes to vlogs to DIYs. I love the variety she provides. And I also love her editing. I usually don't enjoy vlogs so much, but hers are always fun to watch :). Must not forget to mention that she has a really adorable cat named Bruce Lee :)


 
When I found Lex' channel about a month ago, I watched all her videos in couple of days. She does Halloween looks all year round, mostly body painting. She is funny, positive, extremely creative (it blows my mind) and is just awesome person, I guess :)


 

In one word: shameless! She is promoting shamelessness, does beauty, any other advice, motivation, positive body image etc. I love her energy and shameless persona :)



Ah, funny Natalie. She was probably one of the first channels I subscribed to, way back in the day, when I didn't even know what being subscribed even meant :). She does short funny videos telling you some kind of story. I get really excited when she uploads a new video :)



Already mentioned him in my favourites post, but I'll mention him again. He's a Swedish gamer, who comments though playing video games, but trust me, it's much more interesting and funny than it sounds. He is one of the most subscribed YouTube channels atm and he still does everything by himself - content, film, edit ...




One of the best channels about fitness and health on YouTube. Brenda provides informative videos, gives "lean secrets", motivates you, shows you amazing recipes, shows you the workout and she's also very beautiful. :) She has also written an e-book named Lean Secrets which I just purchased and can't wait to read it :)



Another YouTuber who does Halloween all year round. He is amazing in creating creatures from horror movies, does really in dept explanation how to do it and watching him just makes me happy and motivates me to be more creative :)



Amazing artist. Whatever she does look so effortless and beautiful. She shows you that you don't need a lot of makeup to achieve a certain effect. Her voice is really calming and relaxing, too. 
 


Reidell bros make kinda awesome awkward funny videos, which make no sense sometimes but are so meaningful at the same time. Does this make sense? :) They won Internet icon award and I think you'll love them!


There are plenty more I watch and enjoy, but some of my favourite Youtuber stopped making videos, or they upload really rarely (Petrilude, Audfaced, JazzyBabyCakes, Nymphette415, PiecesofRisa, dougboy411 ...), so I didn't include them in this post. But you can still check them out ;)


Do you watch any of my favourites? Tell me, which YouTubers are your favourite?
