From Olympic athletes to everyday gym-goers, ice baths have become all the rage. But while cold exposure therapy is sometimes used as a physical remedy to alleviate pain with some doctors even recommending it, are there true benefits to ice baths that make them more than just a fitness fad? Here are the main benefits that ice baths have to offer.

Pain Management

While few studies on the medical benefits of ice baths have been done, they are shown to help alleviate pain and inflammation given that they are a form of cold exposure therapy, otherwise known as cryotherapy. This is particularly helpful if ever you feel sore after exercise or perhaps have an injury.

Immune System and Cardiovascular Health

One study published in the International Journal of Circumpolar Health showed that immersion into cold water can potentially not only boost your immune system but also improve cardiovascular health and insulin resistance. While more studies will be required in order to uncover more information, this at least shows that ice baths are not detrimental to you.

We can always count on TikTok for the latest trends, especially when it comes to health and fitness. FitTok or fitness TikTok is the place to go to see the latest workout products. These five are as fun and creative as they are effective and people are obsessed with them. If you’re lucky enough to find these items still in stock, add them to your cart. You’re going to want to add these products to your workouts.

Discreet Running Belts

Gone are the days when you’d have to bring a fanny pack or armband with you for your run. They’ve been replaced by discreet running belts which can hold your keys, headphones, phone, cash, and license.

Weighted Hula Hoop

Weighted hula hoops are just like the ones you fell in love with during your childhood and you’ll burn tons of calories while using one.

Marked Water Bottles

During the summer, staying hydrated is especially important, but even still, most of us don’t drink enough of it. Marked water bottles will give you that extra motivation to keep drinking.

Workout Trampoline

Not only are workout trampolines one of the most fun ways to get cardio in, but they’re also easier on your joints. They also fold up, so they won’t take up too much space in your home.

Non-Slip Resistance Bands

Resistance bands are essential for at-home workouts, but they can be really annoying when they snap or slip. With these fabric ones, you won’t have to worry about that happening.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like if you could do bungee jumping at your gym, TikTok’s latest workout craze is just the thing you need. Bungee fitness classes are taking the world by storm, and they’re just as epic as they sound.

Gym goers attending these classes are usually strapped into harnesses and fixed to the ceiling of a fitness studio with a bungee cord. This adjustment makes exercises more demanding as the cord provides both resistance and assistance, challenging your muscles as you go along.

In addition to making the exercises more dynamic, the bungee cord will support your joints as you bounce and glide through the air. If you’re dealing with joint pain or recovering from injury, this routine will get you on the right track and help you improve your mobility, in addition to burning calories and toning muscles.

Bungee fitness classes have been around for quite some time, but like many fitness trends these days, they owe their recent rise in popularity to TikTok. Videos under the hashtag bungee fitness have been seen over 70 million times, and fitness studios such as Lifted Bungee and Sling Bungee are putting them on the map.

@slingbungee

You too can love exercise💕 People, meet bungeefitness! A truly fun way to hit your fit goals. #fyp #dayinmylife #vibewithme #fit

The way we approach our workouts completely changed in 2020, including the times when we usually hit the gym. According to ClassPass’s recent study, lunchtime workouts are all the rage right now and they’ll be one of the biggest fitness trends of 2021.

ClassPass reports that lunch break workouts experienced a 67% increase in popularity, with 12 p.m. becoming the most popular time to work out during the week. The American fitness company recorded the increase in several major cities around the U.S. and the U.K., including New York, Los Angeles, and London.

ClassPass attributes this new trend to “a rise in remote work, and the ease of no-shower required virtual meetings.” They’ve also noted that lunchtime workouts aren’t only popular online—12 p.m. in-person classes were more popular than ever with people who returned to the gyms after lockdowns.

According to ClassPass’s study, this time slot is also a huge hit when it comes to digital classes with friends. Things look a little bit different on the weekends when most people prefer working out around 10 a.m., presumably to get the workout out of their way so they could enjoy the rest of the day.

2020 changed the way we approach fitness more than any other year in recent memory. The quarantine and lockdowns caused by COVID-19 completely changed the way we work out and led to the emergence of new fitness trends. These were the top five trends that ruled the conversation in the past year.

Home Workouts

As gyms around the world closed their doors, fitness lovers turned to home workouts and some even discovered they suit them much better than traditional gym classes.

Virtual Classes

Many gyms and personal trainers moved to online spaces and offered virtual workouts to their clients—both old and new—while meeting in person was out of the question.

Dance Cardio

As home workouts became the new normal, many people struggled with motivation and turned to their most offbeat form—dance cardio workout channels.

Rollerblading

Many social distancing-friendly outdoor activities have been all the rage this spring and summer, but none was more popular than rollerblading, which experienced a true renaissance thanks to TikTok.

Activewear Boom

New brands enter the activewear scene every year, but they’ve been doing it more than ever this year. As we replaced formal clothes for yoga pants in quarantine, everyone from Mango to Kohl’s joined the activewear game with brand-new collections.

Fitness apps are a great way to exercise while you’re on the go. They can give you expert information wherever you are and they can be a useful way of implementing structure into your workout routine. However, with so many fitness apps flooding the market, it’s not always easy to find one that best suits your needs. Here’s a guide to five of the best fitness apps to help get you started.

MyFitnessPal

This is perhaps the best overall app for both guided workouts and nutrition information. This app helps you track your calorie intake and it breaks down the ingredients of what you’re eating, to give you more control.

Fooducate

Perhaps the best for nutrition information and for helping you construct a healthy diet, Fooducate gives you breakdowns of what you’re eating to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.

Glo

If you practice yoga and want an app to help you structure your time and keep you motivated, Glo is for you. The app gives you daily updated information and daily curated classes.

Sworkit

This app is perfect for beginners. Just enter how long you want to work out for, and Sworkit will automatically design a workout for you.

Headspace

Headspace is a great meditation app. It can help you cope with mental health problems such as anxiety, stress, and depression.

Within the past few weeks, more and more gyms have reopened, but the way people workout changed significantly during the lockdown. Many of the ways people exercise are expected to continue long past the coronavirus. What have your at-home workouts looked like? Have you been doing any of these workout trends?

Virtual Training

Virtual training allows you to have the convenience of workout out whenever it fits into your schedule and you don’t even have to leave your home! Minimal equipment is required and all you need are dumbbells, a kettlebell, and some bands.

Yoga For Mental Health

Yoga can help you deal with the stress and anxiety going on around you while allowing you become more flexible and stronger.

Group Training

With human contact being extremely limited during the coronavirus, it makes sense that people are craving social connections through group training classes. These classes are offered both online and in person at parks, camps, and studios.

Instagram Live Fitness

In addition to Zoom, Instagram Live has become the go-to place for group fitness and personal training workouts. It allows you to feel a part of a community without actually being physically connected.

HIIT

High intensity training (HIIT) allows you to get an intense workout in a short period of time and it’s easy to adapt at-home. You don’t need any equipment and it works well for various athletic levels. It’s expected that people who have started doing HIIT during lockdown, will continue once restrictions are lifted.

The coronavirus has changed the way of life for people around the world including the way people exercise. With gyms and studios closed, people have had to get creative with their workouts and are trying things they didn’t previously have time for. Online fitness classes are more popular than ever and so are these bizarre exercise trends. Would you give any of these a try?

Naked Yoga

Naked yoga promotes body-positivity and self-confidence while you workout naked. You’ll be able to connect with your body and breath on a deeper level than with regular yoga.

Pole Fitness

Not to be confused with pole dancing, pole fitness uses a variety of exercises with a pole and your own body for resistance. The exercises you’re used to doing at the gym like crunches and chin-ups can all be done on a pole. Believe us when we say it’s a full-body workout and your upper body and core will feel the burn after you’re finished.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CBf7RRBB8kr/

Aerial Yoga

Loved by Britney Spears, not only does aerial yoga look super cool, it uses the same poses you do on a yoga mat, but you’re hanging from a silk hammock that’s suspended from the ceiling. Because there isn’t pressure on your shoulders, spine, or head you can work on more challenging poses than in regular yoga.

Doga

Yoga with our dogs, yes please! Doga allows you to work on your relationship with your best friend while they’re incorporated into the moves. It’s calming for you and your dog.

Beer Yoga

We never thought that beer would be part of yoga, but with beer yoga you balance beer bottles on different parts of your body and take sips of beer while completing the poses.

Metabolic conditioning or MetCon is the phrase you’ll be hearing everywhere in 2020. This is a method that involves high-intensity workout sessions that are meant to help you burn more calories. The two most important characteristics of MetCon are intensity and time. In other words, you will be doing a range of different exercises with medium or high-intensity and be done in 20 or 30 minutes.

Here are some benefits associated with MetCon.

Burns a Lot of Calories

The circuits during MetCon sessions are designed to burn a lot of calories while also increasing the metabolic rate. They are intense and tiring, but you’ll feel amazing afterward.

Less Time in the Gym

MetCon workouts are much shorter compared to other classes. The average sessions last between 20 and 30 minutes. Imagine getting a great workout in just half an hour and having enough time to take a long shower after. It sounds like the best idea.

IMPORTANT CONVO👇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you paying attention to BELLS AND WHISTLES or are you prioritizing the NUTS AND BOLTS?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you’re stressed about exactly how many grams of protein to eat within minutes of your workout, but you’re not even lifting consistently🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you’re worried about what supplements to take, but you’re not sleeping at all😒 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you’re stressed about how much sodium is in your peanut butter, but you’re barely eating any vegetables🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Listen, most of us—normally a product of diet culture and all-or-nothing marketing—feel like every single health decision is really important. Equally important. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But they’re not, in terms of actual outcomes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s a hierarchy of significance in anything you’re trying to achieve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And the nuts and bolts are things we must master before even entertaining the bells and whistles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bells and whistles are “nice to haves” but they’ll never move the dial if the nuts and bolts aren’t in place. In the words of @jadeteta, “It’s like trying to change a tire with a pencil”—it’s the least effective tool for the job. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But bells and whistles are shiny and sexy, so I get it. But ultimately they’re a distraction from us just doing the old shit that still works. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Prioritization and discernment are key here. So… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ NUTS AND BOLTS: ✔Sufficient protein ✔Eating lots of veggies ✔Feeling satisfied by your meals ✔Weight-training ✔Exercise intensity ✔Recovery activities ✔Enjoying your process ✔Making decent choices 90% of the time ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BELLS AND WHISTLES: ✖Supplements ✖Meal timing ✖Counting and measuring to obsession ✖Additives ✖Organic vs not, grass-fed vs not, etc. ✖Post-without “window” ✖Cardio or weights first ✖Dry brushing, lemon water, fit tea, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don’t give one iota of a shit about the second list until the first is handled, ya? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What you think? What would you add?👇👇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drop an emoji below if you agree👇👊🔥

Help You Build Muscle

By burning calories, you will also be burning fat and gaining muscle. Metabolic conditioning is meant for everyone, especially people who want to build lean muscle mass thanks to the intensity.

Boost Metabolism Rate

MetCon workouts can increase your metabolic rates for 15 to 20% right after a session.

EXERCISE OBSESSION👇 . 1200 calories. That’s how many the stepmill told me I burned in a single cardio sesh after Thanksgiving one year. . And I prided myself on it🤦🏻‍♀️See how hard I’m willing to work. How dedicated. Disciplined. . Until … I found myself living in a never ending “cardio cycle,” helpless to get out of it. . You know what this is: you exercise a ton and as a result, you’re starving constantly. Cravings are thru the roof. You fight the urge to binge on sweets every second. Trying to resist food all day. . And eventually, you give in. You overindulge. Of course you do. You worked hard all week. You want to relax. You’re sick of trying so hard, you want a break. You want to eat what you wanna eat and you’ll deal with the consequences later or on Monday. . But then … fuck. Ugh, I hate myself. I just need to do more cardio. I’ll add an extra 30 mins. Burn more cals to make up for it. . But then, more exercise = more hunger, more cravings. . And the “cardio cycle” continues. . We use it as a control mechanism, as if our body is direct calculator: one calorie consumed, one calorie burned. . But because it’s a compulsion, we can’t stop. And we don’t trust we can pull back without blowing up: “You don’t understand, I NEED to exercise like this bc it’s the only thing keeping my appetite in check.” . I did this for a decade, it was a prison. . But eventually I pulled myself out of it and now I train 20-30 mins/day. Mostly weight-training. . And the rub? I don’t look all that different than when I was doing 2-3 hours of cardio/day🤔🤦🏻‍♀️but now, I have my life back. In fact, I’m probably harder now. More athletic. More balanced. Definitely less neurotic. . It felt like a huge leap of faith to cut my exercise back. Terrifying. But I did it. And share exactly how on this week’s ep of @thebestlifepodcast – check it out. . And if you want the exact workouts I’m doing now, grab my workouts in the FREE #PhysiqueWeek fitness challenge – link in @jillfit bio. . We start Monday and I’m giving you the exact short workouts. Minimum effective dose ‘cause fuck being in the gym all day, I got shit to do👋👋 . Link in @jillfit bio to get the workouts! You in?👇

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? Let me know in the comments! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #healthyliving #weightlifting #liftingweights #balanced #workoutinspo #workoutoftheday #workoutideas #workouttime #workoutplan #workouttips #workoutidea #workoutcomplete #workoutinspiration #workoutflow #workoutathome #workouthard #homeworkout #musclebuilding #musclegrowth #musclefitness #metabolism #metabolismbooster

Fitness Technology

It’s really hard not to fall under the influence of technology. In 2020, get ready to get so many fitness gadgets that will make your workouts and fitness life even better. From watches to at-home mirror workouts, there’s so much to choose from.

Gym goers attending these classes are usually strapped into harnesses and fixed to the ceiling of a fitness studio with a bungee cord. This adjustment makes exercises more demanding as the cord provides both resistance and assistance, challenging your muscles as you go along.

In addition to making the exercises more dynamic, the bungee cord will support your joints as you bounce and glide through the air. If you’re dealing with joint pain or recovering from injury, this routine will get you on the right track and help you improve your mobility, in addition to burning calories and toning muscles.

Bungee fitness classes have been around for quite some time, but like many fitness trends these days, they owe their recent rise in popularity to TikTok. Videos under the hashtag bungee fitness have been seen over 70 million times, and fitness studios such as Lifted Bungee and Sling Bungee are putting them on the map.

The way we approach our workouts completely changed in 2020, including the times when we usually hit the gym. According to ClassPass’s recent study, lunchtime workouts are all the rage right now and they’ll be one of the biggest fitness trends of 2021.

ClassPass reports that lunch break workouts experienced a 67% increase in popularity, with 12 p.m. becoming the most popular time to work out during the week. The American fitness company recorded the increase in several major cities around the U.S. and the U.K., including New York, Los Angeles, and London.

ClassPass attributes this new trend to “a rise in remote work, and the ease of no-shower required virtual meetings.” They’ve also noted that lunchtime workouts aren’t only popular online—12 p.m. in-person classes were more popular than ever with people who returned to the gyms after lockdowns.

According to ClassPass’s study, this time slot is also a huge hit when it comes to digital classes with friends. Things look a little bit different on the weekends when most people prefer working out around 10 a.m., presumably to get the workout out of their way so they could enjoy the rest of the day.

2020 changed the way we approach fitness more than any other year in recent memory. The quarantine and lockdowns caused by COVID-19 completely changed the way we work out and led to the emergence of new fitness trends. These were the top five trends that ruled the conversation in the past year.

Home Workouts

As gyms around the world closed their doors, fitness lovers turned to home workouts and some even discovered they suit them much better than traditional gym classes.

Virtual Classes

Many gyms and personal trainers moved to online spaces and offered virtual workouts to their clients—both old and new—while meeting in person was out of the question.

Dance Cardio

As home workouts became the new normal, many people struggled with motivation and turned to their most offbeat form—dance cardio workout channels.

Rollerblading

Many social distancing-friendly outdoor activities have been all the rage this spring and summer, but none was more popular than rollerblading, which experienced a true renaissance thanks to TikTok.

Activewear Boom

New brands enter the activewear scene every year, but they’ve been doing it more than ever this year. As we replaced formal clothes for yoga pants in quarantine, everyone from Mango to Kohl’s joined the activewear game with brand-new collections.

Fitness apps are a great way to exercise while you’re on the go. They can give you expert information wherever you are and they can be a useful way of implementing structure into your workout routine. However, with so many fitness apps flooding the market, it’s not always easy to find one that best suits your needs. Here’s a guide to five of the best fitness apps to help get you started.

MyFitnessPal

This is perhaps the best overall app for both guided workouts and nutrition information. This app helps you track your calorie intake and it breaks down the ingredients of what you’re eating, to give you more control.

Fooducate

Perhaps the best for nutrition information and for helping you construct a healthy diet, Fooducate gives you breakdowns of what you’re eating to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.

Glo

If you practice yoga and want an app to help you structure your time and keep you motivated, Glo is for you. The app gives you daily updated information and daily curated classes.

Sworkit

This app is perfect for beginners. Just enter how long you want to work out for, and Sworkit will automatically design a workout for you.

Headspace

Headspace is a great meditation app. It can help you cope with mental health problems such as anxiety, stress, and depression.

Within the past few weeks, more and more gyms have reopened, but the way people workout changed significantly during the lockdown. Many of the ways people exercise are expected to continue long past the coronavirus. What have your at-home workouts looked like? Have you been doing any of these workout trends?

Virtual Training

Virtual training allows you to have the convenience of workout out whenever it fits into your schedule and you don’t even have to leave your home! Minimal equipment is required and all you need are dumbbells, a kettlebell, and some bands.

Yoga For Mental Health

Yoga can help you deal with the stress and anxiety going on around you while allowing you become more flexible and stronger.

Group Training

With human contact being extremely limited during the coronavirus, it makes sense that people are craving social connections through group training classes. These classes are offered both online and in person at parks, camps, and studios.

Instagram Live Fitness

In addition to Zoom, Instagram Live has become the go-to place for group fitness and personal training workouts. It allows you to feel a part of a community without actually being physically connected.

HIIT

High intensity training (HIIT) allows you to get an intense workout in a short period of time and it’s easy to adapt at-home. You don’t need any equipment and it works well for various athletic levels. It’s expected that people who have started doing HIIT during lockdown, will continue once restrictions are lifted.

The coronavirus has changed the way of life for people around the world including the way people exercise. With gyms and studios closed, people have had to get creative with their workouts and are trying things they didn’t previously have time for. Online fitness classes are more popular than ever and so are these bizarre exercise trends. Would you give any of these a try?

Naked Yoga

Naked yoga promotes body-positivity and self-confidence while you workout naked. You’ll be able to connect with your body and breath on a deeper level than with regular yoga.

Pole Fitness

Not to be confused with pole dancing, pole fitness uses a variety of exercises with a pole and your own body for resistance. The exercises you’re used to doing at the gym like crunches and chin-ups can all be done on a pole. Believe us when we say it’s a full-body workout and your upper body and core will feel the burn after you’re finished.

Aerial Yoga

Loved by Britney Spears, not only does aerial yoga look super cool, it uses the same poses you do on a yoga mat, but you’re hanging from a silk hammock that’s suspended from the ceiling. Because there isn’t pressure on your shoulders, spine, or head you can work on more challenging poses than in regular yoga.

Doga

Yoga with our dogs, yes please! Doga allows you to work on your relationship with your best friend while they’re incorporated into the moves. It’s calming for you and your dog.

Beer Yoga

We never thought that beer would be part of yoga, but with beer yoga you balance beer bottles on different parts of your body and take sips of beer while completing the poses.

Metabolic conditioning or MetCon is the phrase you’ll be hearing everywhere in 2020. This is a method that involves high-intensity workout sessions that are meant to help you burn more calories. The two most important characteristics of MetCon are intensity and time. In other words, you will be doing a range of different exercises with medium or high-intensity and be done in 20 or 30 minutes.

Here are some benefits associated with MetCon.

Burns a Lot of Calories

The circuits during MetCon sessions are designed to burn a lot of calories while also increasing the metabolic rate. They are intense and tiring, but you’ll feel amazing afterward.

Less Time in the Gym

MetCon workouts are much shorter compared to other classes. The average sessions last between 20 and 30 minutes. Imagine getting a great workout in just half an hour and having enough time to take a long shower after. It sounds like the best idea.

IMPORTANT CONVO👇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you paying attention to BELLS AND WHISTLES or are you prioritizing the NUTS AND BOLTS?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you’re stressed about exactly how many grams of protein to eat within minutes of your workout, but you’re not even lifting consistently🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you’re worried about what supplements to take, but you’re not sleeping at all😒 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you’re stressed about how much sodium is in your peanut butter, but you’re barely eating any vegetables🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Listen, most of us—normally a product of diet culture and all-or-nothing marketing—feel like every single health decision is really important. Equally important. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But they’re not, in terms of actual outcomes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s a hierarchy of significance in anything you’re trying to achieve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And the nuts and bolts are things we must master before even entertaining the bells and whistles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bells and whistles are “nice to haves” but they’ll never move the dial if the nuts and bolts aren’t in place. In the words of @jadeteta, “It’s like trying to change a tire with a pencil”—it’s the least effective tool for the job. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But bells and whistles are shiny and sexy, so I get it. But ultimately they’re a distraction from us just doing the old shit that still works. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Prioritization and discernment are key here. So… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ NUTS AND BOLTS: ✔Sufficient protein ✔Eating lots of veggies ✔Feeling satisfied by your meals ✔Weight-training ✔Exercise intensity ✔Recovery activities ✔Enjoying your process ✔Making decent choices 90% of the time ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BELLS AND WHISTLES: ✖Supplements ✖Meal timing ✖Counting and measuring to obsession ✖Additives ✖Organic vs not, grass-fed vs not, etc. ✖Post-without “window” ✖Cardio or weights first ✖Dry brushing, lemon water, fit tea, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don’t give one iota of a shit about the second list until the first is handled, ya? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What you think? What would you add?👇👇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drop an emoji below if you agree👇👊🔥

Help You Build Muscle

By burning calories, you will also be burning fat and gaining muscle. Metabolic conditioning is meant for everyone, especially people who want to build lean muscle mass thanks to the intensity.

Boost Metabolism Rate

MetCon workouts can increase your metabolic rates for 15 to 20% right after a session.

EXERCISE OBSESSION👇 . 1200 calories. That’s how many the stepmill told me I burned in a single cardio sesh after Thanksgiving one year. . And I prided myself on it🤦🏻‍♀️See how hard I’m willing to work. How dedicated. Disciplined. . Until … I found myself living in a never ending “cardio cycle,” helpless to get out of it. . You know what this is: you exercise a ton and as a result, you’re starving constantly. Cravings are thru the roof. You fight the urge to binge on sweets every second. Trying to resist food all day. . And eventually, you give in. You overindulge. Of course you do. You worked hard all week. You want to relax. You’re sick of trying so hard, you want a break. You want to eat what you wanna eat and you’ll deal with the consequences later or on Monday. . But then … fuck. Ugh, I hate myself. I just need to do more cardio. I’ll add an extra 30 mins. Burn more cals to make up for it. . But then, more exercise = more hunger, more cravings. . And the “cardio cycle” continues. . We use it as a control mechanism, as if our body is direct calculator: one calorie consumed, one calorie burned. . But because it’s a compulsion, we can’t stop. And we don’t trust we can pull back without blowing up: “You don’t understand, I NEED to exercise like this bc it’s the only thing keeping my appetite in check.” . I did this for a decade, it was a prison. . But eventually I pulled myself out of it and now I train 20-30 mins/day. Mostly weight-training. . And the rub? I don’t look all that different than when I was doing 2-3 hours of cardio/day🤔🤦🏻‍♀️but now, I have my life back. In fact, I’m probably harder now. More athletic. More balanced. Definitely less neurotic. . It felt like a huge leap of faith to cut my exercise back. Terrifying. But I did it. And share exactly how on this week’s ep of @thebestlifepodcast – check it out. . And if you want the exact workouts I’m doing now, grab my workouts in the FREE #PhysiqueWeek fitness challenge – link in @jillfit bio. . We start Monday and I’m giving you the exact short workouts. Minimum effective dose ‘cause fuck being in the gym all day, I got shit to do👋👋 . Link in @jillfit bio to get the workouts! You in?👇

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? Let me know in the comments! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #healthyliving #weightlifting #liftingweights #balanced #workoutinspo #workoutoftheday #workoutideas #workouttime #workoutplan #workouttips #workoutidea #workoutcomplete #workoutinspiration #workoutflow #workoutathome #workouthard #homeworkout #musclebuilding #musclegrowth #musclefitness #metabolism #metabolismbooster

Fitness Technology

It’s really hard not to fall under the influence of technology. In 2020, get ready to get so many fitness gadgets that will make your workouts and fitness life even better. From watches to at-home mirror workouts, there’s so much to choose from.
