Fitness Trends for the New Year. The pandemic is dictating many trends for 2021
The pandemic is dictating many trends for 2021
We rounded out 2020 with COVID-19 putting another kink in gym workouts given the most recent round of closures. This happened just when you finally got back into your workout groove, which means you might have been in a position where you had to scramble to rethink, yet again, the best way to get in your physical activity.
On the bright side, a new year is upon us, which means an opportunity for a new beginning after having the chance to happily kiss 2020 goodbye. With the recent FDA approval of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine this means that there is a glimmering ray of hope that 2021 will see gyms stay open permanently.
Each year brings new trends in fitness. 2021 is unique since most of them are being dictated by the times we’re living in versus the latest open-choice-driven craze. So, what most people are going to be choosing to do during these unprecedented times will likely be influenced by the restrictions we are facing in our daily lives between possible closures and social distancing measures. Here are some of the fitness and wellness trends you can expect to see in 2021. Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year that hopefully won’t let COVID-19 get in the way of you and your family having fun while getting fit!
Weight Loss Programs
You aren’t alone if you put on stress-related weight this year thanks to the pandemic. Comfort food came calling for many when states of overwhelm set in, so many will be facing the new year with more weight gain than their usual annual increase. That means weight loss support programs to help you be accountable for making good food choices and keeping in check with portion control are likely to be on the rise out of the gate in 2021.
