Trends in Fitness

DON'T WAIT UNTIL NEW YEARS 2013 TO START CHOPPING OFF THOSE POUNDS! START NOW!!!!


Fitness Trends that can help you on your way to get fit:

At Home Exercises 




You don't have to go and spend your hard earn money on those Gym Memberships but if you really need someone to motivate you, then I guess you'll be spending your money at some Gym Facility. But for those you got enough discipline and are seriously about sculpting their bodies at home then programs like P90X and any type of high intensity circuit training programs are the way to go. Don't know what exercise to do? Don't worry because there are 1000s of YouTube Videos available and all you have to do pick one.





Streaming Providers of Workout Videos




This is an option if you find the YouTube videos kind of boring. You have Spotify that stream music, Netflix that stream movies and now you have services like StreamFit, that streams workout videos and they constantly update their video offerings, so subscribers can always find a fresh workout. Be sure you can afford their $ 19.99 monthly price and that with that comes unlimited workout videos. 




Healthy Ready-made Meals





For those of you who feel exhausted after working out, then healthy ready-made meals may be your greatest option. I understand that the last thing you want to do after a exhausting workout is fix your meal. I get like that ever now and then but it doesn't really phase me because I'm too serious about what goes in my body and preparing it. But everyone's not like me and if you can afford it, then having healthy ready-made meals can benefit you. Services that offer this kind of service is Chef's Diet and Meal Movement which caters to dieters and regular exercisers who want to eat healthy but don't have the time to prepare their meals.



Resistance Bands


The reasons why you should incorporate these bands are stated below:





You can target smaller muscles, like the rotator cuff around the shoulder, more easily than with weights. Using a band will increase your coordination and your balance, and utilize more muscle groups at a time.

Bands offer more variety because you can create resistance in all directions. Also, since there are different tension levels based on the color band you use, you can easily alter the difficulty level. Use a higher tension band for an easier exercise like Bicep Curls, or a lower tension band for more difficult exercises like Overhead Shoulder Presses. 

Resistance bands can make all strength training exercises more challenging. Try using one with basic moves like push ups and squats. Or use a band in combination with dumbbells such as this exercise called Bent Over Row with Resistance Band. 

Bands are cheap, so they make a great addition to your home gym. Buy 1 band for around $10 or a set of three for $30.

Resistance bands are lightweight so you can pack them in your suitcase when you travel. You can reconstruct many cable pulley machine exercises with resistance bands too.



There are so many more but I don't want to overwhelm you with too much information but I hope what I discussed will help you on your way to becoming FIT!
