2018 is here, and one of the most common buzz words …. “Fit” for the New Year …
“What is going to get me the most success and be most beneficial for my body overall”?
Here are my top picks for Fitness Trends in 2018:
#1 Mindful Mediation and Breathing – With all the stressful lives we live, sometimes we need some meditation to keep us calm. Meditation can give us the headspace we need to truly focus on the workout at hand. Even If it’s five minutes before or after a class of guided meditation, it might be the only personal quiet time a person gets all day,
#2 The Big Chill – cryotherapy is continuing to gain popularity for post-workout recovery. Cryotherapy believes that sub-freezing temps can help speed up muscle recovery and reduce inflammation by constricting blood vessels. Post-session, you should experience improved blood flow and less pain overall. Cryotherapy has been done by professional athletes who train at a high level, but with Cryotherapy gyms opening up all over, you can treat your body like an elite athlete offerings and flash sales, cryo appears to be making a cold dash for the mainstream.
#3 Hiring Personal Trainers – Personal trainers will continue to be an important part of the professional staff of health and fitness facilities. Even with one session with a trainer, you can teach the correct way to perform exercises and get the workout you need specifically for your goals. This is crucial if you want to minimize your risk of injury and ensure success.
#4 Stretch for Success – What used to be an afterthought is now gaining traction among fitness followers. It is no longer and additive, it is an essential part of a workout.Done regularly, stretching improves posture and alignment and overall mobility. It also increases your range of motion so you can perform better in sports. Think of stretching as an investment for your future, so you continue to look better with age!
#5 Group Classes – Groups are coming back working out in groups and with friends looks set to become more popular in the coming year. These classes are designed to teach you something new, motivate you, and help you reach your fitness goal. Working out with a friend can push you to exercise harder and longer then you ever thought you could.
