Full-length exercise videos that are available for free online
These are links to free full-length workout videos from various online sources. All of these are full workout routines, in the 20-minute range or longer. I also have little overviews and ratings along with the links to the videos.
I put this collection together for people (myself included) who want to exercise more and get in shape without spending a lot of money.
Lots of different styles of exercises are included, at all different skill levels, from Beginner to Advanced. I would recommend that you keep it interesting by rotating between several different exercise routines. Much more stimulating to the body AND the mind!

More cardio and calorie-burning videos
- Low Impact Aerobics -- 21 1/2 minutes

- Low Impact Cardio Workout for Beginners -- 30 minutes
- Beginner Cardio & Toning Workout Routine from FitnessBlender.
This workout is organized into a set of calisthenic-type exercises. The full set is done three times. The nice thing about that is that you can do the full three repetitions for a 30-minute workout, or do two repetitions for a 20-minute workout. The exercises are low-impact enough that you can do them barefoot. There is no music on this one, just a voice-over instructor while another instructor does the exercises on camera. Hand weights are optional. - Best Basic Workout (Intro Workout for Beginners) -- 30 minutes
- A very simple Beginner level workout. Done by a certified exercise instructor who just wanted to record a workout in her own home as a gift. Very easy to follow with low-impact moves that can be adjusted for higher impact as desired. No equipment necessary. Instructor: Angie
- Very Basic Cardio Circuit Workout -- 28 minutes
- Combination cardio/strength routine. Beginner level with intermediate and advanced options. Hand weights optional.
This one isn't as organized as Angie's first video (the Best Basic Workout). She miscounts sometimes and isn't always in time with her music. But I enjoyed the hand weight work that she did. It included some moves that I had not done before in Beginner/Intermediate workout videos. Instructor: Angie - Malibu Beach Workout -- 29 1/2 minutes

Rumi's Women's Workout Routines
These exercise videos from Rumi seem to be a one-person project. I watched her abs/cardio workout and at the end we can see her walking forward to turn off the video camera.
The exercises presented seem fine, but the production is definitely on the amateur side. The biggest shortcoming is that Rumi often doesn't tell you what movement or exercise is coming next. She'll do a set of one movements, then go to another without saying anything (except for her steady counting).
Also, the music that accompanied the video was not in sync with the exercises and was rather loud.
But hey, it's free!
The only equipment required for Rumi's workouts are two small weights (and she says that water bottles will do just fine if you don't have dumbbells).
Rumi also offers other videos that she charges for on her website: Women Workout Routines.
