3 Fitness Trends to Get Your Heart Pumping in 2017
With the New Year upon us, do you know how you’ll stay fit? Choosing an activity based on popularity can sometimes help mix up your current fitness routine or motivate you start new one. Here are three fitness trends that are sure to keep you motivated and get your heart pumping!
HIIT The Gym!
High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, consists of a series of rotating intense exercises that are each performed for short periods of time. The goal is to keep your heart rate elevated by moving from one activity to the next every few minutes. In between each exercise is a brief rest period before jumping into the next activity. HIIT’s popularity is understandable because its shorter class times promise the same benefits as longer workouts, including:- Improved cardiovascular health
- Lower blood pressure
- Increased muscle strength and reduced body weight

Shake It Off… By Dancing
Dance-fitness is based around music and movement; it feels more like a night out with friends than exercise. This social element is part of what keeps the classes thriving, with added benefits such as:- A feeling of accountability and camaraderie from classmates and instructors
- Access to a well-structured routine that includes warm-ups, cool-downs, and water breaks, so you get the most out of your workout without unintentionally hurting your body
- Helps increase flexibility
Wear Your Fitness
Fitness trackers are still growing in popularity due to their continued advancement in heart-rate monitoring technology. The market for wearable tech is growing fast, and estimated to be worth $34 billion dollars by 2020. Much like dance-fitness, fitness trackers are popular because they make fitness fun in the following ways:- Fitness can become like a game, where the user is competing against themselves to increase their daily activity level. You can also compete with others who wear fitness trackers to gain points or rewards through interactive apps by achieving your daily step or calorie goals
- Motivation comes from awareness, and fitness trackers help inform wearers of how much they’re moving throughout the day. It also puts in perspective how different foods and exercises translate into total calories burned
These fitness trends gained popularity for their innovative approach to staying active.
Fitness trends are always evolving, so find what keeps you motivated and achieve your goals one step at a time!
