Fall is a great time to focus on your fitness goals, as the cooler weather and changing scenery can be quite motivating. Here are the Fall fitness trends for 2023 and how you can reach your goals with Top Fitness!
- Virtual Reality Workouts. Sometimes getting to the gym for a group fitness class or workout IRL just won’t happen. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get all the same benefits. Lots of VR and AR options are coming on the market and are available at Top Fitness Stores already! For instance, the CityRow Max Rower and the NordicTrack Vault: Complete.
- Mobility Training. Mobility training is working to improve your ability to safely move a muscle or muscle group through a range of motion within a joint. And it's about so much more than just being flexible. Developing your mobility helps improve functional movement, prevent injuries, reduce pain, and more. An important part of mobility training are your post-recovery efforts. Try using something from our line of Hyperice products!
- Posture Workouts. With many people having transitioned to more of a work from home life and are experiencing weakened postural muscles. Postural workouts help strengthen the muscles that support your spine and lumbopelvic hip complex (your lumbar spine, pelvis, and hips), which are key in keeping you upright. Bodyweight workouts are great to support this.
- Primal Movement. Primal movement refers to the movements humans have been doing naturally for hundreds — even thousands — of years, such as crawling, lunging, reaching, pushing, and more. Forget about the complicated exercises that don't have any basis in real-life movements. Instead, think of primal movement as a subcategory of functional training. This is really a back-to-basics approach rather than a trend, by adding squats, deadlifts, bear crawls, and farmer carries to your workouts. Top Fitness has all the home gym gear you need, piece-by-piece. You can get started by checking out all of our functional training equipment.
- Standing Abs Workout. The latest trend in ab workouts keeps you on your feet! Working your core while upright brings different benefits than your traditional sit-ups and crunches. This includes improving posture more effectively than supine (lying face up) movements, engaging more muscle groups (think: glutes, lower back muscles, and even your upper body muscles), and preventing injuries related to core balance. You can add kettlebells or dumbbells to challenge your core even further.
