Workout & Fitness Crazes for Men & Women

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!
