The Top Newest Fitness Trends
The main reasons you go through a fitness routine are probably to elevate the heart rate, sweat off excess calories, and force your body to dip into the stored fat so you look and feel lighter. But, how long have you been doing that same routine? If it's been more than a couple months chances are you need to mix in something new to keep your mind entertained and your body working hard.
One of the newest trends is kettlebells. Instead of your typical hand or bar weights, these are oddly shaped cast iron weights that are available in different sizes. They are shaped kind of like a kettle that may sit on your grandmother's stove and have a handle at the top. Most people will do well to start with smaller sizes because they can be quite heavy.
By holding onto the handles and swinging the weights with both hands in different directions you can work your entire body, build up massive sweat, and get rid of ton of calories even in brief sessions.
There are many kettlebell fitness DVDs on the market and you can purchase the actual bells at most sporting goods stores or through a myriad of online retailers.
One hot trend right now is burlesque dancing. Hip hop and other styles of dance have always been featured in the fitness world, but now women are seeking out sensual forms such as burlesque. Everyone can dance and there is tons of fun to be had with this particular form.
This is a great way to feel great about yourself while improving your body. Many women make it more entertaining by working out in their heels or even a feather boa. If fun is what you need to stick with a workout, this one you have to at least try once!
Have you ever thought of working out with your favorite reality TV stars? If so, then popular DVDs featuring some of DVDs hottest stars may catch your interest. The Biggest Loser has always had their share of the market of course, but even Lisa Rinna has entered the mix with her own spin off from her Dancing with the Stars appearance.
Kim Kardashian also has a new workout series as a spin off from her reality TV show. Not only are these really good workouts that are rather unique, they do deliver great calorie-burning sessions.
Weighted Hula Hoops: This is an excellent way to get in shape or keep that youthful figure, whether you liked to twirl the hoop when you were younger or not. Essentially, you take hoop that has been made to particular weights and you spin them around your waist in different combinations.
You don't necessarily need a DVD or other guidance to play around with the hoop and burn off some calories, though you may want to seek some ideas of what to do with it through the internet, a DVD, or a class at a gym.
Make fitness enjoyable and you are more likely to stick with it for the rest of your life. Not only is doing the same thing all the time boring, but it makes your body a less efficient fat burner as well. So, shake things up and make sure to check out the latest trends at least a couple times a year!
