2022 is All About Prioritizing Health!

“You may not be there yet, but every attempt counts.” This thought is our motto for 2022. Well in 2021 we learned to not push ourselves harder than our bodies allow. Undoubtingly, it was another arduous year for the fitness industry. Considering the pandemic ranging on again in 2022 staying fit and working towards a healthy mind and body is of utmost significance. Some of us are back again working from home and towards that slothful lifestyle, but keeping fit will always have to tag along.

With the gyms closed again, our home gym suggestions previously will again be of use and those dumped bikes again may find their way back into your lives. That being said, this year will also have some new and improved health and fitness tips for a radical and cheerful lifestyle.

For the first month of a fresh year we thought of introducing you to some health and fitness trends that will be marked significant with each passing month.

Taking things steadily is our learning, and for the first month of a fresh year we thought of introducing you to some health and fitness trends that will be marked significant with each passing month. From mushrooms being the vegetable of the year, educating on sex for better well-being to reverse running, shifting to low intensity, and more we have some trends that are tagging along with us in 2022.

Boxing

A combination of keeping our bodies fit, and also boosting our mental wellbeing at the same time is what boxing sums up for. We didn’t really discuss greatly how boxing is one discipline that increases our cardiovascular performance and body conditioning and how it boomed towards the end of 2021. Boxing as a method helps to improve coordination, body posture, and mood of a person. 2022 will be the year where we will witness people getting stronger, empowering their workouts, and also working on becoming more confident than ever with the help of boxing. Regardless of how you might have never tried it before, consider this a sign and start with the most powerful form of staying fit and being alive mentally.

Reverse Running

Sounds weird? But it’s not, it’s becoming popular by the minute. I’m pretty sure someone outside is running backward while you are reading this right now. Reverse running creates a greater range of motion hip joint, creating a more aligned posture and producing greater activation of the calves and quadriceps. This will help build your endurance and aerobic capacity. Let me further surprise you, one lap of running backward is equivalent to eight laps of running forward or what you call normal. It isn’t a trend as of now but is gaining recognition slowly, we are hoping it to be big in Fitness in 2022!

Hula Hoops, Zumba and Making It Fun

Yes, you read that right, Hula hoops are making a comeback to make the workouts even more fun. Earlier as well we have always made sure that you make your fitness routines more relaxing and pleasurable instead of making them sweaty. It’s all about feeling good and pushing too hard, practicing yoga, Zumba, pole fitness, voga, and of course hula is so much fun than the other hardcore exercises when it’s winter. And if nothing, just turn on your favorite playlist and twirl till you are drained and start glowing!

Fresh Green Juices/ Smoothies

Fitness just doesn’t depend on exercising but also consuming healthy drinks & meals. Juices did see a dip in approval in recent years but 2022 is bringing it back. Fresh juices, green juices are really helpful only if you are consistent with your workouts. Looking for detox and cleanses, juices are just perfect. For balance, you can consume fresh juices with a meal or snack which is high in protein and healthy. During these tough times of Covid-19 taking care of our immune system is undeniable and hence these juices come in support. Over the coming months, we will make sure to keep bringing delicious recipes of some juices and smoothies best for your immune system!

Hormone Health

This may come out as a surprise but we are talking about physical and mental health and honestly, a woman's hormonal landscape is literally changing every day which affects both areas. Have you heard about Cycle synching? It basically refers to tailoring our lifestyle, nutrition, and workouts to align with the different stages of the menstrual cycle. 2022 is going to focus more on sexual health as the health of the menstrual cycle just not is crucial when a child is born as it contributed to every aspect of health. It is as cardinal as changes like body temperature, pulse, breathing rate, blood pressure, and more.
