Latest exercise trends 🏋️
There are many exercise trends on offer, some new, some old favourites and some just plain crazy 🤪
HMB&S has looked at a sample and has listed several that are currently hitting the mark with fitness enthusiasts, but also taking account how many of the HMB&S fitness programs are aligned to these trends. Some of these are listed below.
Hyrox 🧎 a total body workout combining fitness, strength and endurance of 8 x 1km run, with each 1km run followed by an intense exercise. HMB&S has designed a progressive 3-stage fitness programme that is designed to take you through starter, intermediate and advanced levels of fitness and strength. Completing the advanced programme under 75 minutes fully equips you to train for Hyrox.
Shorter exercise sessions 🧍 HMB&S’s own 898 program – a 25 minute all body workout combing dynamic stretching, abs blast and cardio, of 8 minutes, 9 minutes and 8 minutes respectively
Fitness challenges 🏆 challenge yourself to a number of exercises to complete the most reps of each exercise in a given time period for each exercise, complete the full round as fast as possible. Examples of specific exercises include for example 100 sit-ups, 100 press-up, 50 burpees, 50 Sumo squats (with or without weight), 20 shuttle runs of 20 metres distance in the fastest time, or simply do as many as 10 chosen bodyweight exercises each one last 60 seconds with a 1-minute rest period before the next test. Record your outcomes on a card and then train for the month to test yourself again but aiming for higher numbers. HMB&S can design fitness challenges to your specification, or simply try out one of HMB&S’s own fitness challenge workouts – our promise is – you will be challenged!!!!
HITT workouts 🤸 of various types, using bodyweight using a lot of jump exercises or on the floor exercise helping put to less stress on the joints, such as abdominal exercises, planks, mountain climbers, press-ups, etc. The HMB&S HITT programme is offered using various or mixed methods of training, lasting no more than 25 minutes.
Low impact exercise 🧘 such as yoga and pilates which help protect the joints. The Kinsi Flow routine is a good one for both body and mind workouts.
Exercise to music 💃Zumba, Aerobics and many others
