Fredericksburg Fitness Studio, a private personal training studio,is helping people get healthy this holiday season
FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia - (November
6, 2024) –Most people think the holiday
season is synonymous with gaining weight and not getting fit and healthy. This
year, people are being challenged to do the opposite and make it a season to
get healthy. A Fredericksburg-based nutritionist and exercise specialist is
leading the trend and identifying the trends that will help people do it
successfully.
"Forget the stress, cookies,
over-eating, and slacking for the next two months,” said Jennifer Scherer, a
registered dietitian nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, certified
personal trainer, and owner of Fredericksburg Fitness Studio. “Instead, let’s
use this time to dig in and get fit for the holidays! Let’s go into the New
Year feeling great.”
Here are some hot fitness trends that
will get people excited and motivated to get healthy this holiday season:
- Hybrid Workouts Combine elements from different
workout styles (e.g., HIIT, yoga, strength training) for a more versatile
routine. This will help prevent people from getting bored and offer more
variety for the body.
- Wearable Technology: Increased use of fitness trackers and
smartwatches to monitor health metrics and enhance training is big. These
little devices pack a powerful punch when it comes to helping to keep
people motivated and honest with themselves about their physical activity
level.
- Functional Training: Focus on exercises that mimic daily
activities to improve overall strength and mobility. These exercises will
keep muscles working in a natural range but provide resistance so that it
improves mobility.
- Group Training: Social fitness remains popular, with
group classes emphasizing community and accountability. People have more
fun and make friends when they get together with others to focus on
exercising and getting fit.
- Mind-Body Integration: Practices like yoga and Pilates that
focus on both physical fitness and mental wellness are gaining traction.
They offer a great way to de-stress, reset and improve quality of life.
- Outdoor Workouts: Exercising in natural settings continues
growing, offering physical benefits and mental health improvements. Not
only do people gain the benefits of exercising, but spending time in
nature also provides many benefits.
Here are some nutrition trends that will
help people get through the holiday season feeling great:
- Personalized Nutrition: Tailoring diets based on individual
health data and genetic information for optimal results. By working with a
nutritionist, people who want to get healthier can develop a program
tailored to their needs and preferences.
- Gut Health: Increased focus on probiotics and
prebiotics to support digestive health and overall well-being. Add in
things like kimchi, garlic and bananas to help in this area. Gut health is
linked to overall health; the more people realize this, the more it becomes
a focus for getting fit and healthy.
- Adaptogens to relax. Rather than reaching for alcohol to
relax, many people are moving toward adaptogens. According to UCLA Health,
they are herbs, roots, and other plant substances that help the body to
manage stress and restore balance.
- Sustainable and Mindful Eating: A shift towards environmentally friendly
food choices, including local sourcing and minimal waste. Also, there is
an increased emphasis on the importance of awareness during meals to
improve food choices and digestion.
- Mushroom coffee. Traditional coffee is getting an upgrade
with the many health benefits of mushrooms. According to Harvard
Health, it is typically made from medicinal mushrooms and have
immune-boosting properties that may regulate metabolism.
“This is an exciting time with so many
trends on the rise that people can check out,” added Scherer. “This type of
thing gets you out of the usual rut and inspires you to try something new. This
is the time to try new exercises, diets and possibly things that will lead to
new and healthier lifestyles.”
