Critical view of fitness trends
Everyone is on the lookout for the next big thing in the fitness industry. The latest trend, the newest supplement, the latest equipment - all promise to get us into the best shape of our lives.
Fitness trends come and go, but theres always something new waiting to be tried. In this unit from the Professional Health Fitness Personal Trainer course, participants will be introduced to various fitness trends such as the Hypoxi machine, Power Plate training, ladies studios, various small fitness equipment, calisthenics, and many more.
We will take a closer look at each trend and consider whether they have the potential to truly get us in shape or if they are just the latest fad. We will also discuss which trends are suitable for different target groups and the risks associated with each trend. Participants can also contribute their own experiences with new developments in the fitness industry.
Currently, there are many different fitness trends circulating. Most of these trends aim to achieve as much success as quickly as possible. We will briefly discuss the history of each trend, the functioning of the devices or training, benefits, application methods, and, as the name of this unit suggests, criticisms.
This will allow participants to form their own opinions and decide whether the trend is worth it or if they prefer to stick with proven methods.
