Do you think back wistfully to years gone by, when you were a kid and didn’t feel silly bouncing on a trampoline or spinning a hula hoop? You don’t have to give up on the idea of doing these things just because you’re middle-aged, there are fitness options for everyone. It is becoming popular again for adults to use such tools as a fun means of getting fit. Read on to see which of these trends appeals to you.
Indoor Trampoline
Would you believe that jumping on a trampoline is not only fun but also serves as a great workout? Give up any shame when it comes to bouncing on a trampoline. It makes you happier and more fit than you can ever imagine. For example, the BariBounce class that is 45 minutes long can get you to burn between 500 and 900 calories, depending on how much effort you put into it. Also, your lymphatic system releases certain hormones that bring about happiness. Is this enough to get you to jump to this workout routine?
Fitness Options for Everyone: Tai Chi can be practiced anywhere
Tai Chi
Though Tai Chi requires only slow movements, it is an effective way to remain fit. There are some especially great benefits for seniors, as it has been shown to lower blood pressure and to enhance mental acuity and the ability to concentrate. It is a good tension-reducer for the whole body. Find a class in nearly any town in the United States.
Hula Hooping
Remember the days when you thought it was the coolest thing ever to spin a hula hoop around your waist? Well, you can reclaim some of that childhood wonder and fun by picking one up now! You may be surprised to learn that you actually can burn about 200 calories by taking a 30-minute Hoop fitness class. The more movement you employ, the more calories you will burn.
Body Weight Training
You will never have to go to the gym when you go through this training. In fact, you may not even need any equipment at all. Kettlebells, resistance bands, and similar things may give you excellent strength, but what could be better than using the weight of your own body? Some examples include burpees, push-ups, and squat jumps.
