What’s “NEW” in ’22
More than ever, we will exercise to how we manage our stress and diet, that have necessitated we all make adaptations in our fitness and wellness routines.There will be less pressure on changing the body and more using fitness as a form of joy, grounding, and mental stability.”
James Shapiro, a sports performance coach at Sports Academy, recently told Bustle, “Whichever wearable tech you’re into, you’ve probably noticed updated versions this year that have included more information on your resting heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature, alerts if there’s an irregular heart rate, activity detection, and respiratory rate, just to name a few. Expect more people being interested in these metrics for more wellness monitoring rather than just logging in your calories from a recent workout.”
HOW TO STAY COMMITTED TO FITNESS
We are officially into the new year! If you are focused on less slacking this year and more of a lifestyle change, we’re sharing some tips on how you can get there.Cassey Ho is a fitness influencer, she recently told The Zoe Report, “If you’re too focused on the vanity of fitness (getting a bigger butt, a six pack, or thinner thighs) the experience becomes hollow. From personal experience, [I can say that] focusing too hard on physical achievements only can lead to body dysmorphia. It becomes a much more meaningful journey when you can shift your focus to finding the joy in your workout and finding the joy in making your healthy meals.”
