Strenght and condition: Sydney Cummings, Anna Engelschall (growingannanas), Heather Robertson, and Fitness Blender

These creators‘ routines are normally advanced. Their sets involve exercises using weights with cardio intervals which are praised in the comment section.

Sydney is a high jump athlete, a NASM certified personal trainer, and a fitness nutrition specialist. Her repertory of workouts includes HIIT, full-body routines targeting different muscle groups at a time, bootcamps, cardio, kickboxing, yoga, and stretching.

Anna is a certified personal trainer and has coached Crossfit classes. She has a variety of full-length videos that encompass Crossfit-inspired workouts, advanced HIIT, routines using dumbbells and kettlebells; stretching exercises, and even yoga. Even though she is fairly new on the platform, Anna has received positive reviews of her workouts and her channel is growing swiftly.

Heather is also a personal certified trainer who does functional workouts such as pilates, yoga, kickboxing, dumbbell workouts, barre inspired training, as well as low and high impact routines. She launched her12-week workout plan in 2019 and was completed by thousands of people.

Kelly and Daniel (Fitness Blender on YouTube) have about 895 free workout videos that involve 1000 calorie challenges, workouts with or without equipment, pilates, and bodyweight cardio workouts targeting different group muscles.

Cardio and HIIT: Pamela Reif

Pamela Reif puts together the best combo of exercises in each of her cardio and HIIT training.

She is the best in terms of burning many calories in a short time. She doesn’t do breaks in between exercises, and she makes the best out of ten to 15 minutes keeping you active and engaging different muscle groups.

Her cardio videos are impactful and challenge the viewer to the maximum in every set.

In general, people who attempts her workouts, have a tough time keeping up with her but still do them due to their efficiency.

Upper body: Maddie Lymburner (MadFit) and Heather Robertson

Pamela and Chloe are popularly known on the internet for their toned glutes and shredded abs. That’s part of the reason why their content is focused around these muscles.

Maddie and Heather have a notoriously toned upper body. They have a wide variety of powerful workouts dedicated to arms, biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, and back.

Both girls use dumbbells as their main equipment — though they have the no-equipment version — , and they both guide the viewer so he or she does the postures and movements correctly.

Their upper body videos are as popular as their other workouts and post them regularly.

Abs: Chloe Ting

Chloe’s ab routines are not the most challenging. However, the most viewed and reviewed abs video on YouTube is one of Chloe Ting’s channel.

Her famously Get Abs in 2 WEEKS video has 280 million views and it is part of her 2-week shred challenge program — the one with the most impactful results on YouTube so far. Probably because it is one of her hardest ab training: she gives you ten seconds to rest after completing one minute of two different abdominal exercises.

While Chloe does more relaxed ab workouts in comparison to Pamela Reif, for instance, they are worthwhile: she includes mindful exercises on each video, and are put together consciously. One can clearly feel the burn.

Lower body: Pamela Reif

People seem to enjoy working out to Pamela’s content on YouTube, especially when it comes to the lower body.

There’s a couple of reasons why.

Pamela's lower body workouts, for example, are among the most popular ones on YouTube. In fact, her 10 MIN BOOTY BURN video is the second most viewed on the platform in its category with 39 million views.

She has great combos that make your glutes, legs and thighs burn and grow some muscle. Your glutes could have significant results if you train them frequently with one of her lower body routines because you are working the same muscle group for ten to 15 minutes straight, making them quick and effective.

The exercises are easy to follow and you can modify them according to your level. You can add weights, ankle weights, or resistance bands to make it even harder.
