Your workout just got shorter
Biggest Fitness Trends ,You might have thought that HIIT could not get any more intense, but in 2021 it looks like it will take on a whole new meaning with micro-HIIT.
While many of us try to fit a HIIT session into our busy schedules (the recommended time being 20-minutes of HIIT, three times a week), high-end fitness club Equinox predict that we’ll be practising micro-HIIT throughout the day. That means finding any opportunity to fit in one, two or three minutes of HIIT, while you wait for your coffee to brew or for your boss to get back to you on Slack.
The benefits? According to Pamela Peeke, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland and Health Advisor at Equinox, ‘The healthy stress your body undergoes during HIIT triggers autophagy, which rids your body of cellular debris and stimulates the production of stem cells, the primary regenerative cells in the body. The more stem cells you have, the better you are able to induce super autophagy — it’s a cycle.’

There’s no stopping New-York based cycling sensation Peloton. The billion-pound fitness company is taking the indoor cycling world by storm with high-tech £1990 at-home spinning bikes.

Biggest Fitness Trends
Each Peloton bike is equipped with a 22-inch HD sweat-proof touchscreen which lets you tune in and experience 48 daily and a library of thousands of on-demand classes, without having to leave your house – or even change out of your pyjamas if you really want to save on gym kit laundry.
Reckon you’d slack outside of a class environment? We thought the same, but, actually, the trainers are so enthusiastic their energy is infectious. Plus, the session has been recorded in a room of people who are also working out – not only are your energy levels up but you also (sort of) feel like you’re at the gym anyway.
Look out for the huge Covent Garden Peloton studio opening in 2021 which will be the new HQ for recording all live and on-demand classes. It’ll be open to the public too if you wanted company for your next class.
And if cycling isn’t your thing, then Peloton Digital (£12.99 a month) can be accessed through your phone, TV, even your Kindle for yoga classes to suit every level and even the time of day, plus meditation practices and strength-based workouts. They’ve just extended their 90-day trial so now is a good time to test it out.
Smart Boxing – Biggest Fitness Trends
Workouts that make use of technology will only become more sophisticated as we go into a new decade. At boutique boxing studio, TwelveThree they’re going one step/uppercut further but introducing punch trackers into their boxing classes.
Worn on your wrist, the device will track the velocity and intensity of your punches, so you can measure your progression over time. Classes will take on a new level of fun, and competition, as you can also see how your right hook compares to your fellow boxers.
The Tree Workout – Biggest Fitness Trends
Trees are about to become your new favourite workout equipment. Which is just as well as there are many benefits to training outside in the park.
‘Using outdoor props such as trees can add a different element to your workout,’ says Carl Martin, Equinox’s Personal Training Manager.
‘Being careful not to damage it obviously, a tree can be a good place to set up your TRX to complete your rows, single-leg squats and a whole host of other exercises utilising your bodyweight to build strength.’
The humble park bench is also an excellent substitute for gym equipment: ‘Benches can be used for step-ups, Bulgarian split squats [where your back leg is elevated on the bench] or push-ups with hands or feet on the bench to regress or progress the exercise as needed.’
