Whether you're after cardio and core, or arms and abs, there will always be a video out there for you.
Here are the five most-watched videos this January...

3. 5-Minute Workout That Replaces High-Intensity Cardio

A five minute workout sounds too good to be true (and means that nobody has any excuse to say they're too busy).
The premise of the video seems simple - just a number of different positioned planks, but the strength taken to hold them involves a full body workout.
2. BOOTY WORKOUT @ ZOO | BRADLEY MARTYN’S PODCAST
123,050 overall views
This video follows the life of fitness blogger Grace Fit from Oxford University, as she talks about her gym clothes, food, and fitness regime.
The workout doesn't start until 8:10, where she shows you a brief rundown of her impressive squatting and lunges, but is interesting if you're after an insight into her healthy lifestyle.

The fitness instructors are motivating and encourage you to work as hard as you can, but suggest regular rests, as the entire workout is gruelling.
