TL;DR: Free Online Classes and Virtual Workouts to Exercise and Keep Fit
Free Online Pilates Classes and Workouts
Pilates is a low-impact exercise that is particularly effective for those seeking to tone up, build lean muscle, as well as improve posture and flexibility.
While there are pilates classes that use equipment like a pilates reformer, you can also practice pilates without one (read: no excuses).
The basics are pretty much the same: exercises are done in a specific order, usually in succession with a LOT of focus on concentration and breathing.

Free Online HIIT Classes and Workouts
HIIT, or High-Intensity Interval Training, is an exercise that alternates intense exercise with short rest periods.
Most HIIT sessions typically last under 30 minutes and usually consists of a warm-up period, several repetitions of high-intensity exercises, and then a cool-down period.
It’s a pretty good way to get in a quick workout while you’re at home because most HIIT workouts only involve bodyweight exercises (read: don’t need any equipment, so… NO EXCUSES!).
