Experts come up with new workouts all the time, fitness trends change so much we can’t really keep up with all of them. Some of them do really work, so we will be discovering the 10 Latest Fitness Trends You Must Try.
If you are working out on a daily basis you already have your own fitness routine, but that doesn’t matter that you should not learn about new and improved types of workouts.
Plus, there comes a time when you start to get bored with your old routine and you look for new and exciting ways of keeping your body fit.
If you feel that way or you are just looking for a fun and effective way of working out, these are the favorite workouts of the moment:
10Rowing
This type of workout transforms you into an indoor rower. You are working on a machine used to simulate the action of watercraft rowing.
It primarily works the cardiovascular systems with typical workouts consisting of steady pieces of 20–40 minutes, although the standard trial distance for record attempts is 2000 m, which can take from five and a half minutes to nine minutes or more.
Helaine Knapp, founder and CEO of New York City’s CityRow says that “Rowing is high intensity yet low impact, so it’s safe and smart for your body.”
Why to try it? It hits about 85 percent of your muscles when done correctly and it can be done by anyone.
9WaveShape
Adam Rosante, personal trainer and The People’s Bootcamp founder started creating some workouts for professional surfers and paddleboarders friends.
Seeing they get amazing result, he decided to put it online for people to enjoy for free. This is how WaveShape was born.
It is a 45-minute, equipment-free workout that draws on the multidimensional movement patterns of surfing and other board sports to build explosive strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility.
Given the fact that it’s summer, it would be great to do this type of workout and then try to hit the waves.
8BodyArt Training
This type of workout is a beautiful way to use your body. Its inventor is Robert Steinbacher, a dancer and a therapist for special-needs children.
In 1993, while working with these kids, his major task was movement education and fostering motor functions of the human body.
So, he realized that many therapeutic exercises could be just as beneficial for people without physical limitations, and BodyArt was born.
He calles is an “extraordinary training concept for a new awareness,” and it integrates functional training, physiotherapy, dance, Tai Chi, and yoga positions for a tough yet restorative workout.
7Animal Flow
Did you hear about this type of training yet? It is really starting to be at the top of everyone’s list for great new workouts.
It was designed by Mike Fitch in partnership with Equinox and it wants to release your inner beast while you improve your performance and help you reach your goals in no time.
This new primal workout is combining animalistic movements with elements of Parkour, break dancing, and gymnastics in a freestyle flow of fluid movement that is intense but fun.
You should really try it because it taps into your primal instincts to get you moving your body in ways you’ve never imagined before.
6Xtend Barre
This one is the creation of a former professional dancer, Andrea Rogers.
She turned to Pilates to stay in shape and said: “After a few years as a Pilates instructor, I started to crave the creative element of dance in my workouts again, so I approached the owner of the studio where I worked with the idea of a class that combined Pilates, dance, and barre.”
Is is basically a traditional ballet-inspired workout that integrates principles from Pilates too and focuses on the core and spinal alignment.
I really believe this is an interesting way of working out, hence you get to sculpt lean muscle while feeling more graceful and having better posture.
5Boxing
Box exercises are more and more integrated in fitness workouts and that is no coincidence. Boxing blasts up to 600 calories an hour while sculpting your arms, shoulders, core, and legs.
Is there any need for me to say anything else to convince you to try it? Well, just a few of the benefits that boxing has on your body are: improved balance and coordination, dynamic flexibility of joints, muscles, and ligaments and power.
And contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of women practicing this sport, so anyone can try it. Even Adriana Lima is doing is, so there are no excuses.
4Pound
Former drummers Cristina Peerenboom and Kirsten Potenza created Pound, a full-body cardio jam session, combining light resistance with constant simulated drumming.
What’s different? They use lightly weighted “drumsticks” called Ripstix. The workout fuses cardio, Pilates, isometric movements, plyometrics and Isometric poses into a 45-minute series.
Plus, is much more fun than a regular gym workout. You get to strengthen and sculpt infrequently used muscles and drum your way to a leaner, slimmer physique – all while rocking out to your favorite music!
3Insanity
I am sure you have already heard about this program. It is everywhere and they say it’s the hardest workout ever put on DVD.
Its creator Shaun T. had the inspiration to make a fitness program when he gained fifty pounds in college and decided to make a change.
Then, the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler came to Shaun with an idea: “He told me he wanted to create the hardest workout ever put on a DVD—a workout so insane, we want to call it Insanity.” And, of course, Shaun accepted the challenge.
Basically, it is a total-body Max Interval Training workout. And the results are mind-blowing. Really, people are getting a nice fit body in just 60 days.
2TRX
Suspension Training was actually “an accidental invention of necessity”, as Randy Hetrick, its creator, recalls.
Being a Navy SEAL for 14 years, he used to miss the elite training facilities back home while deployed overseas. So, the thought of a solution.
In his own words: “I happened to have an old jiu-jitsu belt, so I tied a knot, threw it over a door, and started doing one-arm rows.” Realizing that the simple contraption had endless possibilities for exercises, from rotations to flies to pull-ups, he created TRX.
The TRX suspension trainer relies on your body weight for a highly effective workout. “You can perform more than 300 exercises on the straps and easily transition between moves, so you get a quick, total-body workout.” Hetrick says.
1Pole Workout
This may be the sexiest workout ever. You get not only to build lean muscles, but also learn the sexiest dance of all.
A pole can provide more than a tantalizing striptease—experts say pole classes are sweat-inducing, super-effective workouts, with the added benefits of learning how to flaunt your curves and celebrate your body.
These workouts enhance flexibility, tone your body, and build strength as well as confidence. The moves require much strength, but when you achieve it there will be no greater satisfaction than seeing yourself master those moves.
If you don’t believe me, just look at any pole dancer, the all look amazing!
Now, these were the 10 Latest Fitness Trends You Must Try. Stop making excuses and go try one of them.
It’s summer, it’s fun, it’s a great moment to be energetic and take care of your body!
