Share

Sydney, Australia (CU)_ The pandemic began in 2020 and was followed by a second wave in 2021. With gyms closing and individuals being confined to their homes, everything came to a halt. As health was elevated to a new level of importance, individuals ensured that a balanced diet was supplemented with an effective exercise regimen. Individuals sitting at home and pursuing fitness welcomed high-intensity exercises, home gyms, and technology-enabled strategies. Following the pandemic’s two turbulent years, here are five fitness trends that will dominate the year ahead.

Walking

Walking is a low-impact activity that requires no special equipment or time of day. The best aspect is that you can do it while conversing with a buddy, a coworker, or anybody else. While this is a low-intensity activity and cannot substitute a full-fledged workout regimen, it is an excellent first step toward general fitness, and only fifteen minutes of walking each day may make a significant impact on one’s health.

Exercising in the open air

The lockdown effectively confined us to our houses, and with no outing, residents had no choice except to seek refuge in their surroundings. Dog owners, in particular, were at a halt, unable to do much but take their dogs for a walk, completing a great short training session. Since then, the trend has continued to grow, and despite gyms reopening and people returning to them, the outdoor training alternative has not lost appeal.

Online workouts

A workout may be done from any location and at any time. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, these types of exercise are unavoidable today. Gyms are also providing hybrid classes, and Zoom call exercises are gaining attention and are becoming popular. Hybrid training choices are highly handy since they allow individuals to attend the gym three days a week and then work out from the comfort of their own space in their basements or living rooms.

Fitness Apps

Fitness applications have existed for a long period of time and have been widely utilized. However, they have now exploded in popularity and have become an integral element of fitness routines in ways never seen before. People complained about these applications because of a lack of inclusion in terms of body size or exercise definition, but now there is a growing trend of inclusivity and body positivity in these apps, resulting in a new trend that will be prevalent in the future year.

Gyms for women

Most ladies would admit that they have fantasized about attending a women-only gym. The usual gym might be inconvenient and make women self-conscious. The unsolicited advice, admiration, and form adjustments from every other male in the gym may be a disturbance. The greatest solution is to attend women-only gyms, where we are free of any vigilance, good or bad, and may exercise in whatever outfit we like.

Gyms at Home

While this idea is not wholly new, the pandemic has reintroduced it to a new level of strength than before. Modern day equipment that replicates the gym experience in the comfort of one’s own home is gaining traction. Investing in this equipment is another option for individuals seeking to invest in their health.
