How do I organise a workout video library I use?

Sort by what you need on the day

When it is time to exercise, you think in terms like 15 minutes, no equipment, legs. Build your library around those questions instead of around who posted the video.

Use a few Favourites collections, such as Strength, Cardio, Stretching and Quick sessions. Save to the right one as you scroll.

Add a quick note to each

For each workout you keep, note its length, difficulty and equipment in a notes app or sheet alongside the link. For example: 20 min, beginner, mat and two water bottles.

Add a line on how it felt after you tried it. Too easy, knees did not like the jumps or great for mornings will guide your future choices.

Turn saves into a weekly plan

Choose three or four favourites and assign them to days of the week. Having a plan removes the endless scrolling that eats into workout time.

Swap one video each week to keep it interesting while the overall routine stays steady.

Track, prune and stay safe

Keep a simple log of the date and the workout you did. Seeing a streak builds momentum, and gaps show you which days need a shorter option.

Every month, delete videos you skipped over and over. If you have an injury, a health condition or are new to exercise, check with a doctor or qualified trainer before starting a new routine.
