I Tested Top Youtube Workouts *so you don’t have to*

Four Weeks of Home Workouts

The creator spent four weeks testing home workouts from four YouTube fitness channels, rating how enjoyable each session was on a scale of 1–10. She liked the convenience of exercising at home but wanted to avoid endlessly scrolling to find a routine.

MadFit

The creator praised MadFit for including form cues during workouts. Her enjoyment varied depending on the session:

• Lower body: 6/10
• Upper body: 8/10
• Quiet, music-led stretch: 10/10
• Dance cardio: 3/10, because the moves felt too challenging to coordinate
• Full-body dumbbell workout: 9/10

Her experience suggested that the instructor’s style and music can make a big difference.

Growing Annanas

The creator enjoyed the channel’s direct, no-intro approach and intense workouts. One session scored 10/10, while upper-body and cardio workouts scored 8/10 and 9/10. Another workout scored 7/10, partly because it lacked easier modifications.

A stretch video scored 3/10 because its music did not feel relaxing. The creator noted that cardio left her sweaty and in a better mood. She also found that stretching outdoors—or seeing sunlight and greenery—could feel uplifting.

Juice & Toya

The summary does not include detailed session-by-session scores for Juice & Toya. The creator described the workouts as clear and easy to follow, with visual and audio cues, explanations of the muscle groups being worked, and hip-hop music.

Grow with Jo

The creator enjoyed the friendly, encouraging atmosphere and approachable dance cardio. Sessions scored:

• Legs and glutes: 8/10
• Upper body: 9/10
• Cardio: 10/10
• Stretching: 10/10
• Full-body dumbbell workout: 10/10

She appreciated that the cardio felt easier to coordinate than MadFit’s.

Takeaways and Recommendations

Choose workouts that suit your preferred pace, music, and movement style. Enjoyment can help make exercise feel less like a chore. Regular stretching may also ease tension and discomfort, including tightness after lifting. Use lighter weights when needed, and look for routines with modifications if an exercise feels too difficult.

The creator’s recommendations were:

• MadFit for a polished, dance-oriented vibe
• Growing Annanas for intense workouts
• Juice & Toya for clear instruction and muscle-group guidance
• Grow with Jo for upbeat, beginner-friendly workouts that feel like exercising with a friend
