HASfit
HASfit offers hundreds of cardio and strength training videos. (It was one of 22 mostly free workout sites reviewed by Wirecutter in 2020.) Most workouts feature two trainers: one doing advanced moves and the other showing modifications if you’re new to exercise or recovering from an injury. (Download the HASfit app or go to HASfit.com.)
Fitness Blender
Fitness Blender has over 600 free strength, cardio, Pilates, stretching, balance, and low-impact videos. Search by intensity, workout duration, the equipment you want to use (if any), and the area of the body you want to focus on. (Go to FitnessBlender.com.)
Silver Sneakers
SilverSneakers is a free program available through many Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplemental plans. The SilverSneakers Go app allows you to track your activity, watch online workout videos, find in-person classes, and more. One of the biggest SilverSneakers perks: a free basic membership at more than 15,000 participating gyms and health clubs. (Download the SilverSneakers Go app or visit SilverSneakers.com.)
Move Your Way Activity Planner
The planner lets you enter your mix of aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises, and see how your daily activity adds up. (Visit health.gov/moveyourway/activity-planner.)
