Some time ago in a gc some friends were talking about emerging into fitness routines. I was still figuring out what type of exercise is a good fit for me & was slowly realizing that:
I like movement but get frustrated when I can't execute steps properly
I like repetition

I prefer standing exercises vs on the ground I like cardio Indoor walking checks all these boxes for me, so that's what I do.
I considered the following:
body condition
threshold/endurance level
ease
A lot may dismiss that 3rd one because of the "no pain no gain" mindset, but I have to be able to do it consistently. I have to go at my own pace & push myself according to my level of skill

It feels better when I know I can do it, rather than feel frustrated that I can't, which would only be discouraging & dispiriting in the end. If something makes you feel good after doing it, it's more likely you come back to do it again the next day.
Before you know it, you have a habit. You have a practice. I've been doing this since October, who knows about the numbers re weight lost but Idc. I only know I feel stronger, more focused, have more energy. Less irritable, maybe. That's a forever wip.
But here are some of my faves lol:
Reps to the Rhythm - Keoni is Filipino & has many cats that crash his walks https://youtube.com/channel/UC3lEhUBNqIrFMatB9Zgxo0g

His style is non-verbal, he gives cues to the next step via hand gestures, facial expressions. The moves are simple to follow, but you can really get a good sweat out of his sessions. Length varies from 10 mins-over an hour.
Get Fit With Rick. Way more chatty than Keoni, but I like his energy. Steps are also simple & he encourages users to add their own flavor & do "whatever you like". Length varies from 15 mins-1 hour https://youtube.com/c/RickBhullarFitness
Walk at Home by Leslie Sansone. More structured, so pretty much you know the basic steps & the variations coming to you. The tracks used are proprietary to the program so no pop songs, unlike the previous recs. https://youtube.com/c/LeslieSansonesWalkatHome
Up to the BEat Fit. Gina B's sessions are a little more strenuous, but she has awesome cooldowns & stretches. https://youtube.com/c/UptotheBEatFit
Zumba Korea TV. Jay's warmups & cooldowns have been a staple since I started. Some Zumba videos are not my style, but I was comfy enough w/ these warmups & the cooldowns make me finish on a brighter, higher note. https://youtube.com/c/ZumbaKoreaTV
I'm always on the lookout for new videos, so I may add to this thread as I discover new favorites
