Major Fitness Trends For 2020 You Need To Try

As we’re approaching the end of 2019, it’s time to get to know the major fitness trends that you’ll be seeing everywhere in 2020.

Jiriki Yoga

One of the most unexpected fitness trends you simply have to try if you’re a yogi is jiriki yoga. This is a Japanese yoga that implements much slower movements that are not only meant to challenge you, but they also stimulate restoration.

Rowing Classes

You’ve probably noticed that rowing classes are becoming so popular. There are so many gyms and even special spots where you can try it out and see if you like it. The word is that rowing activates more than 80% of the muscles in your body. Not bad, huh?

Virtual Trainers

Who says that you have to work out with a trainer standing right next to you? The fitness trends for 2020 predict that more and more people will work with virtual trainers and also do parts of their routine at home.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there may be more effective methods of exercising than with elypticals and treadmills (depending on what your goals are)! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sure, cardio is fantastic and I am a huge fan of it for pretty much everyone. But a significant amount of us (especially women) seem to avoid the free weight section of the gym.🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Weight lifting is important for a number of reasons and may very well be the fountain of youth. Research shows resistance training exercise not only improves muscle strength, metabolism, and balance, it reduces signs of aging at the cellular level as well. This helps you to look and feel years younger. 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Plus, weight lifting helps to build more muscle than cardio, and muscle burns more calories at rest than other types of tissue. This is why many people say that weight lifting helps to improve your metabolism. 🏋🏾‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My recommendation: be sure to do a combination of both! What’s your favorite way to exercise?
