Ok since no one’s telling u I will. The Lily Sabri (I think I’m spelling it right) workouts all worked for me. I’d do 3 videos in a row, 3 times a day. Each video was 5-10 mins so it was approximately 25 ish minutes of working out three times a day
As the saying goes, "weight is made in the kitchen, fitness is made in the gym." This is because in general, the amount of calories you expend in exercise is simply not enough to lose much weight, and can easily be consumed back -- like you can put in an hour of solid work in the gym and consume it all back with a single Starbucks beverage on the way home, depending on the order of course.
There's a lot of great fitness videos depending on what you like. I also have found Move With Nicole really changed my life, strength, flexibility, fitness and relationship to exercise itself. Just don't go in with the expectation of losing weight from it -- go in thinking of it as a chance to get healthier in other ways.
And if you're ready to move beyond just YouTube she's on other socials as well with tips and tricks, there's an app which I use and is awesome, and there's personal training options with a great community.
I like Grow with Jo. Everyone will already tell you its about food and stuff but for me personally, working out gently reduced my appetite and time to snack lol

My mom started focusing on her health about 7 or 8 years ago. She wasn't huge, but she was considered obese. The easiest thing for her was walking in place. There's loads of videos on Youtube. Sometimes they'll use things like step stools, resistance bands, or weights. You don't have to use them though, but it helps involve your arms in the workout too.
She did that and started watching what she ate. Not necessarily cutting specific things out, unless she wanted to, but limiting how much of what she ate, and adding more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into her diet.
As a lot of people already say weight loss mostly happens with your food you should see how much and especially what you eat look at the calories of everything you consume for a while to know how much it actually is
For the sport part often when you start you lose motivation therefore I don't suggest a certain workout but rather finding a activity that is fun to you
Some people like walks In nature some like to climb some like tennis or football some enjoy lifting heavy things or reading a bike
At the start it doesn't matter what you do but that you do it consistently once you changed your diet and found a activity you like you can always build on that with workouts
Jessica Smith is great! Has some good, light “move your body”videos and she has other more intense ones as you get more comfy. She also has a super sweet positive vibe.
Everyone’s saying kitchen this, diet that. Anyway. I’ve been lifting weights and gymgoing for seven years now. Any sort of movement is the answer - it’s about calorie deficit. Sure, you can just cut back eating, but consistent movement is what really ramps it up. You didn’t ask for diet plans, you asked for movement. I gotcha.
Some basic YouTube videos I started off with were like proto-Pilates movements, DIY HIIT, and calisthenics. Why? They make you HOT. You’re sweaty, you’re burning calories like crazy. Throw a jump in those squats. Circuit movements, don’t just do one exercise then rest before going to the next. Plank long as you can, not just 30 second sets. Slowly add small weight (I’ve gotten 5, 10, and 15lb dumbbells at Walmart or Five Below for cheap) - it burns even more, quicker. If you’re not tired, sweating, and out of breath, you’re not done/doing enough.
You won’t burn as much as you would say, on a treadmill or spin bike, but still worthwhile if you don’t have any consistent movement at all. Your first “try” at fitness is the one where you’ll lose the most weight, it’s like your body is shocked, in a sense. The hard parts are (1) keeping it off and (2) trying to lose after you plateau later on. And you will plateau later on. That’s when you revisit your plan and do something new.
Gym, if you’re considering: you can use gym to tone and also do body recomposition. In which case, you’d have cutting (calorie deficit) and bulking (calorie surplus) seasons. Both serve specific purposes. I’ve had more fun turning my fat to muscle (I’ve got sexy legs now!) - but it is harder to get rid of. I think it’s better for aesthetic purposes, if that is what you’re going for. Or once you’re a little closer to your weight goal and have some fat left. It’s much easier to “convert” fat than it is to add muscle from “nothing” later.
The Fitness Marshall on YouTube (https://m.youtube.com/@TheFitnessMarshall/) has a lot of beginner-friendly dance workouts! His back catalogue covers a lot of songs (I personally prefer some of his older videos), and they're really easy to follow, more about the workout than the complicated dance steps, and he's also very body-positive + a lot of the videos have adjustment levels (it's him + two others).
During lockdown I did one of the chloe ting challenges she has a calendar with links to the videos for each day. I lost 10kg in 3 months.
Growwithjo has indoor walking workouts that are fun and beginner friendly
I have pcos and all of those HITT workouts and intense stuff just ended in me eating more calories or feeling super stressed out by the end of it.
It’s not viable to lose weight from exercise alone, but if there are any exercise videos that will help you on a weight loss journey can be strength training. I use around 15 pound dumbbells and do slow reps until failure! (:
Exercise is for fitness, diet is for fatness. If you wanna lose weight you have to change what/how you eat
Perfectly said!

This is a good idea. Will check her

its all about input and output - like how u/unburritoporfavor said, diet is important as well.
i do enjoy doing growwithjo workouts tho :)) shes really encouraging and its walking workouts + beginner friendly, depending on the video you watch!
I really like emkfit she has really fun workouts more so cardio based and Juice and Toya for a little weight action!
https://youtube.com/@henley_fitness?si=Y7VbOnWjo8DR2aSk is awesome. Very beginner friendly, very encouraging.

Move with Nicole: https://www.youtube.com/@MoveWithNicole
They have a variety of levels and lengths of workouts.
Honestly just try any video and do it again and again until you can make it through it
