4 At Home Workouts I’m Doing Right Now

April 22, 2020

Exercising is one of the top ways I’m staying sane while we’ve been in quarantine. These are four at home workouts I’ve been doing that I am loving lately!

While we’re all at home, it’s super important to get your heart pumping and burn some calories. It improves your mood, your emotional state, and clears your mind. I’ve been making a huge effort to do an at home workout every single day, and I wanted to share four favorites I’ve been doing lately. And the best part? All of these have free trials or a free component to them to try them out!

Check out this post for my favorite athletic wear brands and this post on my favorite sneakers!

1.  Kira Stokes

During the quarantine, celebrity trainer Kira Stokes has been doing IG Live workouts with celebs…my favorite of which being Candace Cameron Bure. They stay live for 24 hours, and I’ve done several already. I love that they aren’t super jarring on your body, but are still a tough workout. She uses minimal equipment: weights, a mat, resistance bands (I use these), and gliders (I use paper plates on my carpeted floor and they work fine.) The moves are challenging and I really like per personality. Her app offers a 7 day free trial, and runs $14.99 a month, with a discount for paying for a year upfront. There are TONS of classes there, even a 21 day ab challenge going on now too. I am very tempted to get this app!

2.  Madeline Moves

I found Madeline via another style blogger that has been using her program with great results. Madeline offers free workouts on her Instagram page, and you can also sign up for a 3 day PDF workout that you can download. Her method is weight and strength training based, with cardio busts in between. I love to incorporate more weight lifting into my workouts, and her style is very challenging which I love. She has an app as well for $20 a month (cheaper for a year) and several programs/options to choose from. I won a free month to her app, so I will give this a go soon and report back if you guys are interested!

3. Lauren Gleisberg

Again, another Instagram fitness find! I started off with Lauren’s Fitmas program last year (read about it here), and really enjoyed it and the results. Lots of weight/strength training with cardio moves sprinkled in. She has a variety of workouts plans available for purchase that are very affordable (under $20). I’ve done her Weight Training 3.0 plan, and she just came out with a 30 Day Home Workout Plan. She’d been posting moves daily on her Instagram page and they make for great workouts!

4. Peloton

Of course, I can’t say enough about Peloton. They are currently offering access to their app for free for 90 days. It usually runs $12.99 a month. You can access to stream a HUGE variety of classes: cycling, running (audio for outdoors, and treadmills version), strength, HIIT, yoga, bootcamp and meditation classes. I’ve had my bike for almost two years now and I can tell you hands down, it is the best investment I’ve made in my health. I’ve been taking classes live with friends lately, which has been really fun too!

You can get the bike at 0% financing, and they have a 30 day try at home option so there really is nothing to lose if you want to try it. Plus, use code KCSBNB for $100 off!


Another brand I’m loving lately when it comes to athletic wear? K-Deer. These leggings are like BUTTER and are super cute. I personally love their Signature Stripes collection. Each one of their Signature Stripes is named after an inspiring woman and supports a cause that is close to her heart. With every purchase, 5% of e-commerce sales are donated to charities raising awareness and creating positive change for individuals and communities in need. Right now, the Izzy Stripe is on sale! They make them in a longer legging style, ankle 7/8 style and capri. Plus, they have kids sizes and matching sports bras too! Adorable.

Shop the leggings: K-Deer Leggings in Izzy Stripe (7/8 sneaker length)– I wear this in a medium // capri option // legging option

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day through Friday (4/24), you can save 20% on K-Deer’s Izzy Stripe with code PARKS20. AND get another 4% off when you use a free Rakuten account to shop K-Deer!

5% of K-Deer’s e-commerce sales will be donated to the National Parks Foundation for the Izzy Stripe. Valid 4/20 through 4/24. Plus, free shipping in the US on orders $75 or more!

What workouts are you doing lately? Tell me in the comments!

Disclosure: Thanks to K-Deer for the leggings. Affiliate links used. When you use the links I share with you to make a purchase, I make a small commission (but it doesn’t cost you any extra money). It’s like giving me a tip, except the companies you buy from are the ones paying for it. Just being open and honest with you. Thank you for your support!

    My barre studio (Barre + Beyond) began doing live classes as soon as we needed to stay at home. It has been a life saver! I kept my workout routine and even added a few classes in, with the additional time I have on my hands (no commuting for work gives me an extra 1.5 hours!). If I don’t have time to catch a live class, the video library is available and being added to consistently. I’ve also joined Peloton and love using it for the treadmill classes. I *hate* running inside but this has made a difference, I actually look forward to it. Now, if I can stop stress eating….

      Way to go in sticking to workouts– it’s not easy when your routine changes completely for weeks at a time! You’ve been doing GREAT at the runs- I see you logging the miles girl! Fave instructors so far? And YES on the stress eating LOL. If I didn’t workout, I’d be in serious trouble!!!

    […] The Vooray brand makes a wide array of items- from fanny packs to backpacks and crossbody bags like this one. It’s the perfect size to hold my essentials when I do my weekly trip to the grocery store. It matches well with athleisure wear, and the moto design looks great with an actual outfit that isn’t workout clothes too :-)Shop the bag here.Also worth mentioning…this two pack of tees branded by Amazon are cheap, cut well, wash well and aren’t sheer! I think I might order the 2 pack of white next…Any good finds on Amazon for you? Share it in the comments!Also check out: 4 At Home Workouts I’m Doing Right Now […]

    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats. Lately, I' src='http://the-style-files.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-slider-widget/assets/image.png' class='GraphSidecar' style='opacity: 0;'>
    • We enjoyed some gorgeous greenery at the domes today. It was like we were on a tropical island with all the lush vegetation... almost In awe of such beauty, especially when snow is stacked high and temps are so low all around us.

    • Over the last five+ years of being a mom, my style has evolved quite a bit. Gone are the days of being dressed for the office every day. Now my work-from-home life meets stay-at-home mom life requires what I wear to be both comfortable and practical without sacrificing style. I still love getting myself put together for the day, even if that means a day of working at home, running errands and playing outside. So I put together three practical yet stylish outfits featuring some tried and true clothing favorites from @everlane, a brand I love for quality, ethically made items.

    • I’m sure you can relate…for those of you working from home/quarantining, you can’t resist the gravitational pull of the kitchen for a snack, am I right?! I’m sharing a roundup of some of my favorite snacks that span salty, savory and sweet. Whether it’s an after school snack, road trip supply, Netflix/sports accompaniment, family movie night or just a little pick-me-up, I’ve got ya covered with options that you won’t feel guilty about later since these snacks are all comprised of a simple, clean ingredients.
