Reducing weight, toning up, and bulking up is all on most people’s to-do lists, and experts are already forecasting the greatest fitness trend that will rule the year 2023.
There are already various forecasts for fitness trends that appear to be quite prominent this year. Many factors influence fitness trend forecasting, the most important of which is a return to life as we knew it in a post-pandemic environment. Here are a few fitness trends that experts predict will be popular in 2023:
- A Return to the Gym (and fewer home workouts)
- Efficiency Training; more focused, targeted, and personalised sessions
- Micro Fitness Centers: Smaller gyms with well-designed equipment versus massive mega-gyms
- Heavy Weight Training: After two years of mild and bodyweight training during the epidemic, heavy loading will return.
- Carbohydrates Are Making A Comeback: After years of receiving a poor name, the food category is making a significant comeback as an energy or fuel for intense activities.
- Yet one fitness trend has dominated the charts, appearing on every single trade prediction list. And that pattern is…
The quick exercise fitness trend
What exactly is the mini-workout? It’s not just a shorter workout. It’s an exercise burst that can happen a few times a day to many times a day, depending on your schedule. This format was dubbed ‘Exercise Snacks: A New Approach to Enhance Cardiometabolic Health’ by the National Library of Medicine, and it was characterised as ‘separate 1-minute bursts of intensive activity conducted regularly throughout the day.’
The ‘Exercise Snack’ style is similar to HIIT, except instead of combining it all into one training session. The concept is to do strong bursts of exercise that raise your heart rate and can accommodate as much as a person can fit into their day.
It also responds to the resumption of ‘regular’ life, which has returned with a fury, leaving us with significantly less time to remain at home and focus on physical health than the epidemic did. Thus, if getting in a solid exercise was your main priority, 2023 will be your year to shine…
