Want to start working on your fitness habit but don’t have the time or resources to go to the gym? Or maybe you want something new to supplement your regular workout schedule? There’s a ton of free content out there on YouTube, and if you’re like me, who sometimes just isn’t in the mood to step out of the house, it’s a lifesaver.

Building an exercise habit can be intimidating, but discovering the kinds of workouts that motivate you to get up and move make the process so much easier. Here are six channels that can help!

Fitness Blender

Run by husband and wife team Daniel and Kelli, the Fitness Blender hosts full-length workout videos with varying degrees of difficulty. Videos are shot on a plain white background for maximum clarity and they include a timer and calorie count per exercise to make it easier to follow along. The best parts of the channel are the workouts that include a warm up and cool down — great for people that tend to forget about these essential steps during sessions.

THENX

Looking to build strength and bigger muscles? Chris Heria of THENX specializes in calisthenics workouts, which are focused on bodyweight training. Think powerful, explosive moves with great form and exercises using bars, rings, and parallettes. His channel works best as a supplement to your regular routine, and even better if you have access to equipment, but he has a number of pure no-equipment bodyweight videos that are just brutal — in a good way! For those interested in getting into calisthenics or those looking to improve the skills they already have, his channel’s your bet.

Yoga With Adriene

Whether you already have a regular yoga practice or are looking to begin your journey, Yoga with Adriene is there for you. All levels of yoga (yep, even kids’ yoga) and many themes are represented here. Yoga for scoliosis? She’s got it. Yoga for those with weak knees? Covered. Yoga routines customized for teachers, golfers, runners, swimmers, office workers with desk jobs… all there. Whether you need to refresh yourself in the morning or need a pick-me-up after a stressful day, tune in to Adriene’s relaxing voice and clear instructions to center your body and mind.

Tone It Up

Tone it Up’s channel looks a little different from the others on this list. That’s because it’s not just a fitness channel, but a lifestyle hub geared specifically to women who love the beach. The channel is famous for its focus on getting you the bikini body you want through HIIT-based workouts, but it’s grown to also encompass beauty tutorials, meal prep tips, inspiration, vlogs, and Q&A’s. Karena and Katrina have also been featured in a number of both print and digital magazines, reaching out to women the world over.

The Fitness Marshall

Not a fan of regular gym workouts and want a different approach to cardio? Dance! Caleb Marshall (aka the Fitness Marshall), has a relentless — and let’s face it, hilarious — energy that will get you smiling through his slew of choreographed workouts to the most popular hits. Each video lasts the length of a song, so you can pick out your favorite ones for a short warmup or choose to do his Workout of the Week playlist, which collects several for up to an hour of cardio.

Blogilates

The one thing you need to know about Cassey Ho is that she somehow never stops talking even in the middle of an intense Blogilates workout. She’s bright, bubbly, and a good distraction for when you’re sweating all over your mat. Her channel focuses on Pilates workouts that usually need no equipment, and she also has a series with her own spin on HIIT — with Pilates incorporated into the intense interval training. If you’re looking after your overall health too, she provides recipes for clean eating and is a great proponent of building confidence and body positivity.

Hitting the ‘DEADLINE’

ICYMI, BLACKPINK (or K-Pop’s biggest female quartet composed of Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo) started their highly-anticipated ‘DEADLINE’ World Tour just last year.

With Razer’s signature dark black styling paired with BLACKPINK’s bold and iconic pink scheme, this collaboration felt like the perfect match.

That said, here are all the BLACKPINK Edition gaming accessories you should expect from the Singaporean-American gaming giant.

Ornata V3 Tenkeyless – BLACKPINK Edition

A low-profile RGB keyboard with clicky Mecha-Membrane switches.

DeathAdder Essential – BLACKPINK Edition

Gaming mouse with ergonic comfort and precision alongside mechanical switches and programmable buttons.

Gigantus V2 – Medium – BLACKPINK Edition

Razer’s smooth and durable mouse mat with that BLACKPINK flair

Enki X – BLACKPINK Edition

Badly-needed gaming chair for all-day comfort combined with BLACKPINK’s aesthetics — made for your marathon gaming sessions.

Ornata V3 Tenkeyless – BLACKPINK Edition = US$ 119.99
DeathAdder Essential – BLACKPINK Edition = US$ 49.99

This popped right in time as BLACKPINK will hold the Hong Kong stop of their ‘DEADLINE’ tour for three straight days — from January 24 (Saturday) until January 26, 2026 (Monday).

Moreover, these might just be the perfect complement to the quatro’s upcoming ‘DEADLINE’ EP by February 27, 2026.

Might as well, an advanced 10th year anniversary gift this August 2026.

How the HUAWEI Active Rings run inspired my next streak

One active morning turned into a streak I wanted to keep!

Published

November 24, 2025

There are days when running feels like a routine and there are mornings when it feels like a gift.

The HUAWEI Active Rings Fun Run landed perfectly on one of those good mornings. I woke up before the sun, optimistically laced my shoes, and took my place at the SM Mall of Asia Complex, where a thousand runners gathered with the same intention.

Everyone wanted to move with purpose and enjoy a moment that centered on fitness and a little glow from our smartwatches.

Finding my rhythm with my Active Rings

HUAWEI partnered with RUNRIO and a full roster of lifestyle staples like GCash, Shopee, Nature’s Spring, and URC. It created a space that felt alive even before anyone started running.

There were giant inflatables, interactive photo walls, and booths with snacks and hydration that framed the Race Village.

When the run began, the energy pushed me forward. The seaside breeze reminded me why I loved running outside. HUAWEI designed this event for their community of users and I felt that intention with every step.

It felt easy to check my stats and stay on pace because the watch tracked everything that mattered without distracting me.

I was inspired when seasoned runners passed me by, whereas some of them would later claim the top spots. The runners around me boosted me with energy that I wanted to match. They were competitive in a way that felt inspiring.

The little moments that made the morning sweeter

After crossing the finish line, I wandered around the Race Village again. I watched runners take photos with their medals and chat with friends they made during the route.

The GCash Watch Pay booth became unexpectedly helpful for a lot of participants. It let everyone bind their GCash account to their HUAWEI smartwatch.

It made sense for runners who preferred to go cashless and travel light. Shopee was also present and reminded everyone how modern life blends with fitness.

Every corner of the event touched a part of our daily routines. It showed how technology can help simplify healthy habits.

Keeping the streak alive with Light Up Your Active Rings

The fun run wrapped up the physical celebration but HUAWEI kept the momentum alive through the Light Up Your Active Rings Online Challenge. It runs from November 8 to 30 inside the HUAWEI Health App.

Participants only need to burn 1500 kcal within the challenge period to unlock the exclusive Manila Medal, a new badge inside the app that feels like a digital pat on the back.

Sharing the medal on TikTok with the hashtags #LightUpYourActiveRingsPH and #EnjoyYourMoment also enters participants into a chance to win a HUAWEI Watch GT 6.

HUAWEI will announce the winner on December 15. It feels like an invitation to stay active long after the race banners are packed away.

The challenge is simple and the message is clear: movement matters even when it feels small. Running, walking, cycling, or making your day a little more intentional can change the way you show up for yourself.

A community that runs with you

That morning reminded me that fitness does not need to feel lonely. The run united beginners, athletes, and curious participants who wanted to experience something new.

It gave us a morning filled with movement and reminded us that wearable technology can help us stay accountable in a way that feels supportive.

HUAWEI continues to build a fitness community that encourages healthier habits and celebrates every active streak. The Active Rings Fun Run made that mission feel real on the ground. Meanwhile, the Light Up Your Active Rings challenge brings it online for anyone who wants to keep going.

I left the MOA Complex with tired legs and a full heart. My Active Rings glowed with pride and I promised myself that this would not be the last time I ran for the kind of joy that morning gave me.
