With Covid still circling the globe, keeping fit continues to present challenges. Gyms closed, some reopened, some closed again. As a result, home fitness got a huge boost. Some gyms have gone hybrid offering both in-person classes and online classes. And of course Peloton and others offer robust online classes. So what are the trends?
Well, according to some, wearable fitness trackers lead the 2022 fitness trends. The ability to track distances, heart rate, calories, and more on one’s wrist adds interest and motivation.
Next, home gyms. No surprise there, with gyms closing and some folks choosing not to go back to indoor gyms with Covid still festering.
Outdoor activities are next. Walking, yard work, pickle ball, and dodging floating Covid viruses are some of the obvious alternatives to staying fit indoors.
Next is strength training. Building muscle mass burns calories and tailors that beach bod and more people are discovering the positives strength training offers.
Oh, there’s more trends and we will continue to review and report. In the meantime, start your workout timer on the fitness watch, step outside to your outdoor home gym, and start pumping that iron!
