Fitness trends 2021: video games and other tricks we will finally lose weight with

1. Play on consoles

In the age of modern technology, you can lose weight, strengthen muscles and have fun cardio without leaving your game console. For example, arrange a dance battle with friends using the “Just dance” game, the essence of which is the repetition of the movements shown on the screen. Add to this the excitement and thirst for victory – and voila: you are both relaxing and actively training! The only drawback of this method is that you need to purchase a console, and it is not cheap. However, if you regularly arrange such games for yourself, then you can save on a subscription to the gym.

2. Roller skating and skating

Emotions associated with childhood are the most positive! Therefore, skating, rollerblading and cycling does not seem like intense cardio, although in terms of energy consumption and results it is not inferior even to running. Therefore, ride with pleasure and benefit for your figure, because during such an active pastime, all muscle groups work, from the calf to the press. Moreover, there is no aggressive effect on the joints, as during running, because there is a smooth slide without jerking and abrupt landings. Until the weather improves, choose indoor skating rinks, rollerdromes and gyms with exercise bikes.

3. Unusual races and tasty treats motivation

In 2020, due to the quarantine and the closure of gyms, adherents of a healthy lifestyle took to the streets of their city to run. We agree that not everyone who wants to do physical education decides to get out of the house or the fitness room. The reasons can be both complexes and laziness, and bad weather.

There are two ways to motivate yourself to run. The first is to participate in fun marathons, such as costume races. Such positive and light events are most often arranged on the eve of the holidays or for a charitable purpose. And in addition to positive emotions, you will also take care of your figure, because running (even on a treadmill) is one of the best cardio workouts.

The second way to motivate yourself to run is to set a tasty reward goal. That is, if you run 10 km, you are entitled to a cappuccino in your favorite coffee shop and a fresh croissant! By the way, you will be surprised, but there is a diet in which they eat bread, chocolate and ice cream and lose weight at the same time!

4. Jumping on a trampoline

For many of us, sports are boring! And for regular classes, there is not enough motivation and inspiration. But jumping on a trampoline will give you such a powerful charge of positive emotions that you will look forward to exercising on it! Turn on an incendiary playlist and go, more precisely, upward! Imagine that you are competing with someone for the height of your bounce, or as you are having fun at a concert of your favorite band. This is a great way to keep your muscles and joints in good shape, make friends with balance and pump the vestibular apparatus. In the jump, the muscles of the legs, arms, buttocks and abs are tense, so funny jumps on a trampoline can be safely considered an active workout or exercise.

5. Rock climbing

For extreme lovers, there is another extraordinary way to keep fit – rock climbing. And for this it is not at all necessary to conquer Elbrus and Everest. You only need a special room, which is equipped with a wall with protrusions and other necessary equipment. No matter what the level of your physical fitness, only desire is important for this type of leisure.

Climbing to the top, you will feel the work of all muscle groups. Still, you have to maintain balance, move from stone to stone, drag yourself up. In general, it is not only a pleasant but also a rewarding pastime!
