The Top Fitness Trends of 2017 are:
1. Wearable Technology
Topping the list is wearable technology like fitness pedometers, trackers, and heart rate monitors. The market for these products is booming and shows no signs of slowing down; in fact, sales are expected to hit over more in 2017. The wearable device is actually for lost weight.
2. Bodyweight Training
Yep, the secret is out. Bodyweight training is one of the 2017 year’s top exercise trends, and for good reason. You don’t need any fancy equipment, an expensive membership and very much room for these workouts, so bodyweight exercises sure are appealing and also effective.
Bodyweight training helps to increase lean muscle mass in individuals, especially when combined with an aerobic activity. Bodyweight training is also a great way to ease into a strength training, particularly if you are new to the gym.
3. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Most of us are short on time in these days, so it is no wonder that high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, is one of the major exercise trends of the 2017 year.
The benefits of HIIT are extensive, it is one of the top ways to work out, but one of the most interesting findings is how it helps build endurance, too.
After just two months of HIIT, participants could bike twice as long as they could before the study and maintains the same pace.
4. Strength Training
Strength training is seeing it is the time in the limelight. While people, particularly women, sometimes shy away from the weight room, strength training is critical to keeping human bodies healthy, especially as you grow age.
It helps to preserve muscle mass and increase your metabolism to burn more calories even when you aren’t working out.
5. Group Training
Do you usually workout solo? 2017 will be the year to try group training. Group training makes trying a new exercise, like boot camp, spinning or more fun. Having an experienced instructor can also help to keep you motivated and pushes you to go that extra bit.
And bringing along a friend or making new ones in class has an effect, too. A little friendly competition also increases motivation to work harder, like in this exercise.
6. Yoga
This is one of the top 2017’s fitness trends. Yoga certainly is not new, but it is just as popular as ever. And it should be because the advantages of yoga are more. It helps to decrease an anxiety and stress, improves sleep quality, allows blood to flow through the body better, and also helps in digestion and so much more.
In fact, practicing yoga changes your brain. It increases a “chill-out” neurotransmitter in your brain, a chemical that is in low supply for people who suffer from depression and anxiety. It also helps to counteract chronic pain.
7. Personal Training
Instead, this exercise trend references a number of college students by studying kinesiology, an indication that they are planning on going into health fields. But you don’t have to be a college student to take a decision on your own health “personal training.”
8. Exercise and Weight Loss
While nutrition is more essential to weight loss than exercise, fitness plays a major role in any weight loss program. What’s critical is finding workouts and healthy lifestyle activities that you like.
When participants thought of an exercise as pleasant, they would have an increased aerobic capacity and improved their physical health. And another discovered that incorporating laughter into physical activity programs for few older adults improved their aerobic endurance, mental health, and confidence in their ability to exercise.
So whether you enjoy yoga, Crossfit, barre or just riding your bike, enjoy it! These are exercise trends of the year 2017 that will never go out of style.
