Fitness in 2016

It seems like every month or two, there’s a new gadget on the market. Each one claims to make a remarkable breakthrough in fitness.

Fitbits, wearable tech, Bluetooth technology, and tracking devices are becoming the new norm. Many tech-savvy people are increasingly relying on tools to stay in shape.

All of this new technology seems to be emerging now because convenience has become a priority for many people.

If something isn’t convenient, people avoid it.

Having technology take over our lives without lifting a finger again sounds like a dream come true. But fitness technology consumers may have concerns before purchasing until they’re proven beneficial.

7 Fitness Trends Today

Wearables – biotech and fitness merge together with fabric that’s woven near specific parts of your body to monitor your heart rate and lung respiration to target the best range of fat loss. The technology also makes it even more convenient by syncing with your smartphone or watch to display your stats.

HIIT Classes – trainers have been using HIIT classes to teach groups for some time now; today we have classes that focus on elevating your high heart rate with this same method. HIIT classes are now popping up as urban big room concepts in studios like Orangetheory and SoulCycle across the nation.

Cardiovascular Exercise – The biggest risk of injury is the lack of a warm-up before starting any exercise program. Even for experienced bodybuilders who are resistant to routine cardiovascular exercise, warming up with exercises that increase your heart rate is very important before training any muscle group. The easiest way to increase your heart rate in the shortest amount of time possible, whether at the gym or from the convenience of your home, is the treadmill.

Today’s treadmills have features that can adapt to outdoor gradients and varying altitudes, and even entertain you while you perform lengthy, low-intensity workouts. For the best treadmills on the market that you can use at your local gym or even at home, you’ll definitely want to check out some of these.

Personal Training Online – this trend started roughly around 2006-2007 and was never a proven concept except for those with fantastic programming and organizational skills. With software and applications innovating over the last ten years, there’s amateur and professional bodybuilders appearing everywhere offering online services and content. This is also more apparent now that high-speed Internet access allows us to distribute our products and services like the popular gym franchise in your neighborhood.

Bodyweight Exercises – Many consumers are starting to perform more bodyweight exercises according to the latest research. This trend comes from the increased amount of travel today that drains the energy we have to work out.

The lack of uncrowded gyms available at peak times in many local communities will have people trying more bodyweight exercises programs at home.

Mobile Food Ordering – “lack of time to properly cook” is probably the number one reason so many people make poor health choices when it comes to their diet. While this may be more costly, many people like the convenience of ordering the foods that they like and not having to worry about preparation time or grocery shopping.

The Wrap Up

The last eighteen months have given us innovative technology that’s transforming the fitness market as we speak. The infusion of technology into fitness can make exercising every day much more convenient and practical, a service advantage for busy travelers with little time to get into a gym. These advancements will help influence cultures to become more active and healthy in the global fight against obesity.
