Why we love it: They promise to give us the legs of Jennifer Lawrence and the butt of Beyonce – need we say more?

We love this XHIT workout channel that allows you a sneak peak into the fitness lifestyles of the stars.

The instructors: Rebecca-Louise Smith, Kelsey Lee and Cynthia Dallas, are friendly and engaging, and guest appearances are sometimes made by industry experts such as Andrea Orbeck (trainer to the Victoria’s Secret Supermodels).

Helped by the charismatic (and absolutely gorgeous) pair who host the channel Karena and Katrina, Tone It Up is all about giving you the perfect beach body. Their videos include such titles as Love Your Arms and Abs, Love Your Legs and Booty, Abs and Arms and they also offer a wide range of alterative workouts from stretching and yoga to the Wedding series.

10. Bodyrock TV

Why we love it: it’s shot well and Lisa-Marie is properly motivating, look amazing and the workouts are superbly  challenging.

Founder/instructor Lisa-Marie on Bodyrock TV is a pint-sized personal trainer (her body is one of the best we’ve ever seen and her abs are insane) and delivers real-time workouts that are superbly challenging and vary daily. They’re great if you’re tired of bog-standard workouts as she introduces moves you will have not seen before such as flying switch lunges, skip-centre side knee lifts and tonne more new stuff. Plus, along with the workouts, there are tutorials for the weirder moves so you learn to do them properly. The community aspect to the bodyrock.tv channel means you can snoop on lots of before and after pictures of ‘Bodyrockers’ (people doing the workouts at home) on their Facebook page (over 1.5 million fans) or website for further motivation.
