Times change, research grows, and there are always new & improved ways of getting fit and losing weight. Here are a couple of new fitness trends to be aware of.
Eating Less and Moving More – There’s a simple rule to weight loss. Burn more calories than you eat. Regardless of the plethora of diet and fitness plans out there, the simple idea of eating less, and getting more exercise will always make good sense. The current trends are combining the two in ways that are easy to incorporate into your life. Start with looking at how many calories you normally eat during the day. Try reducing that by 10%, replace carbs and fat with healthy protein sources and fresh vegetables, and start an exercise program.
Corrective Exercise – This is kind of a generic term that describes workouts designed to improve your daily life. Exercises that are designed to increase your range of motion as you get older, stretching movements to improve flexibility, or workouts for those that have suffered injuries based on functional movement assessments. Look for programs that help you to move easier and better, as they will also help you down the road to avoid injury as your workouts improve.
Good Health Is As Much Mental As Physical – Health and overall well being, is a mindset. A way of life. Not a quick fix. Rather than focusing on external changes, put more emphasis on understanding how you think about your health is even more important. Doing so makes setting realistic goals for your health and fitness much easier, as well as helping you to realize those goals over time. Talk to a health coach for help in coming up with a more holistic approach to your health and fitness goals.
Virtual Fitness Is A Trend – In the past, technology applied to fitness meant tracking your results. With the advent of interactive fitness equipment like the Peleton or Hydrow Interactive Rower, virtual workouts with professional trainers make your workouts not only more engaging, but give you the sense of accountability, which can help you maximize your workouts.
