Many of us have spent a significant amount of time being stationary in recent years, and that's including kids too. Some studies say that sitting for an extended period of time can have health risks, so simply doing a small amount of daily exercise can make a huge difference for you and your family.

Here's a list of YouTube channels and playlists that provide the best online exercise classes your whole family can do together. They're fun, and they're free, so get your kids up and moving and give them a go!

1. The Body Coach TV

The Body Coach TV is one of the more popular fitness channels on YouTube, run by Joe Wicks. Joe's channel is well-liked because of the wide range of workout series he offers—from yoga for beginners and home fat burners to workouts with dumbbells and senior workout challenges.

However, the highlight of his channel is the endless amount of family-friendly exercises available. The kid-friendly workouts on Joe's channel are in a series called PE with Joe. These free online fitness programs are enjoyable for the whole family, seeing as they're only 30 minutes long and filled with pretty basic exercises.

Joe has recently added a workout series for younger children called The Workout Badges with Hey Duggee & Joe Wicks. These exercises are great to encourage kids to work out since they'll win a badge if they complete the exercise move.
