If you dread cardio

It’s easy to see why trampoline or rebounder workouts are all the rage. It’s low impact and gentle on your joints but offers the heart pumping cardio benefits of a hard run. It’s great for improving balance andmost importantly, it’s fun! Mini trampolines are relatively inexpensive (you can buy one from celeb trainer Tracy Anderson for $70) and there are tons of online workouts to get you started. Anderson’s 50 minute workout (available online or on DVD) is half muscular structure followed by 25 minutes of dance cardio performed on the rebounder. Or if you can’t take in-person classes with Simone de la Rue of Body By Simone in Los Angeles, try her DVD which includes three trampoline dance routines to target the upper body, lower body and core.

If you like yoga

As the fitness scene has focused more on upping the intensity ante, there’s been a counter movement that’s all about active rest and recovery. Beyond just sitting on the couch watching Netflix, these classes are focused on yin yoga, gentle stretching, dim lights, self-massage, foam rolling and aromatherapy. Namaste.

Crunch Gym’s newest class is Hair of the Down Dog: Detox Yoga to help you recover from late night partying or too many burpees. Equinox doubled down on restorative classes with stretch essentials and athletic stretch classes that includes guided self-massage and flexibility training for better range of motion. In Dallas, Foam Roller Fitness is all about rolling out your troubles. At New York’s Mile High Run Club recovery room, you can book stretch sessions, reflexology and acupuncture or spend some time in their compression boots or playing with the Hyperice recovery tools. At Naam Yoga’s aromatherapy class in NewYork, students put the essence of plants on specific body points to help restore harmony and wellness.
