Health and Fitness Trends

Keeping up with health and fitness trends can be a challenge. While some trends, such as protein

bars and cardio workouts, are likely to stay a popular part of exercise culture for a long time, the

fitness world is also home to new ideas and workout methods that pop up suddenly and can be

hard to keep track of. By the time you get around to trying it, that new trend diet or workout fad

all your friends were talking up might already have gone out of style. For the health conscious,

these trends that are constantly popping up and fading away add an extra level of difficulty to

achieving fitness goals. Not only do you have to maintain a proper diet and exercise regimen,

you also have to keep track of the current "right" way to do both of them. For those looking to separate current health and fitness trends from the outdated and disproven

ones, we've put together this helpful guide breaking down how fitness enthusiasts are eating,

working out, and losing weight.

● CrossFit – Chances are you have at least one friend who's currently addicted to CrossFit.

The new fitness trend has everyone talking, even though they only seem to be able to talk

about it in jargon and slang that only makes sense to those who've already been

indoctrinated. In simple terms, CrossFit is a workout regimen built around performing a

series of lifts, jumps, and other classic exercise moves as quickly as possible. ● Paleo Diet –The paleo diet is based around a "back to basics" selection of food, and

limits its followers to eating only those things that our ancient hunter-gatherer ancestors

would have killed or collected on their daily hunts: namely, meat, nuts, and fruit. This

diet has stayed popular during the last few years, and isn't showing any signs of falling

out of favor any time soon. ● Cross Disciplining – Cross disciplining isn't a single workout regimen, but a blanket

term for a bunch of emerging new exercise trends that combine two or more fitness

strategies together. Some of these cross disciplining workouts include Piloxing (Pilates +

kickboxing), Buti (yoga + tribal dancing), and Aqua Spinning (swimming + biking; yes,

really). Chances are your most fitness-forward friend can tell you about even more

exercise trends that are currently being combined. ● Fitness Apps – Growth in the number of people using fitness apps was so high in the

first half of 2014 that it was nearly double the growth rate in overall app usage (62%

increase in fitness app usage, 33% increase in app usage overall).1 That kind of growth

only comes from high usage across multiple demographics, which means that using

mobile apps to track fitness goals has become a widespread and accepted thing for

millions of exercisers (though, according to the same study cited above, the group of

consumers who spent the highest amount on fitness apps and technology was 62%

women). It's not hard to see why fitness apps are so popular, either. They make the most

tedious parts of dieting – keeping track of calories, workout times, and other important

figures – easier and as hassle-free as they've ever been. Instead of having to keep track of

all your nutrition intake by remembering the details of every energy bar, like those from

Promax, and every diet shake you consume during a week, a fitness app can do it for you

even more quickly and accurately.
