Hello Fit-NOW Friends!
As we all know, we are each different and need to find ways to workout and be fit that work for our own body types. Here are some new crazes I found on WebMD website to maybe try.
Airobics: High Flying Calorie Burn
Does
your workout have you jumping for joy? Springing into the air on a
trampoline will. Airobics, a cardio class on trampolines, offers
fat-burning fun that’s gentler on your joints. Check out these new
exercises that can make your workout more fun and challenging. Remember,
regular exercise has many benefits, including boosting your mood and
controlling your weight.
Jumping Shoes: Low-Impact Cardio
Putting
a spring in your step can take stress off your joints. Kangoo Jumps are
boots with springs on the soles -- like grown-up moon shoes. You can
jog or do aerobics in them, burning calories while being gentle on your
body. But if you are pregnant or have high blood pressure or balance
problems, stick with springless shoes.
Pole Dancing: Vertical Workout
Interested
in gyrating in gym shorts instead of a G-string? Dance, spin, and do
poses with a pole and ba-da-bing! You'll burn calories while working
your abs, butt, thighs, and more. You can make the workout as easy or
intense as you like. Risks include falling, rotator cuff strain, and
tendonitis.
Boot Camp: Back to Basics
This
is basic training without a drill sergeant sneering and shouting in
your face. There’s no fancy equipment -- just a series of push-ups,
squats, kicks, other calisthenics, and aerobic movements. You’ll burn
about 10 calories a minute or 600 an hour. The payback: total-body
fitness. (If you have been gone, it's time to get back out there ladies with Tracey and her team of trainings! We would love to see you again!)
Floating Yoga: Balance on a Board
Put
the serenity of a still lagoon together with the challenge of balancing
on a paddleboard and you get the serene challenge of floating yoga.
Doing yoga moves on a paddleboard, which is larger than a surfboard,
takes muscle control to keep from making a splash. The board is either
anchored down or tied to a buoy to keep you from getting swept away by
the experience.
Hulas: Whittle While You Work Out
If
the last time you swung a hula hoop around your waist was in fourth
grade, it may be time to give it another whirl. It's easier to swing the
new weighted hula hoops than the flimsy plastic ones. And hooping can
burn more calories than step aerobics and raise your heart rate as much
as cardio kickboxing. It works your waist and core muscles, and can tone
your thighs and biceps.
Until Next time!
Keep healthy, keep safe and keep going!
Have an awesome day!
