The Latest in Workout Tips and Trends

By Elle Jaye

Don't let your fitness routine become a snore. Getting in shape or keeping that youthful appearance shouldn't be a chore. It should be fun! If you are in a rut or just want something different to really challenge your body, consider some of the newest trends others are using to look their best.

Ditch the dumbbells and get a more efficient workout with kettlebells. Roundish kettle-shaped weights made of pure cast iron are designed with a solid handle. They come in a variety of sizes, each with a different weight. You should probably start with a smaller sized bell to get a feel for the movements and then advance to larger ones.

What is unique about kettlebells is that you hold them by the top handle which is like a circle and then you swing them in different directions. You can work the entire body and burn massive amounts of calories even in a short session.

The actual kettlebells are being sold all over the place from local sporting goods stores to online retailers. There are also DVDs coming out now that provide at home instruction on effective routines.

Dancing has always been a favorite type of exercise since everyone can do it, but the sensual burlesque dance has now hit the market big time. Hip hop is starting to die down some as more women are seeking ways to get in touch with their body while working it out.

This is a great way to feel great about yourself while improving your body. Many women make it more entertaining by working out in their heels or even a feather boa. If fun is what you need to stick with a workout, this one you have to at least try once!

TV Show Workouts: Of course there have always been the popular Biggest Loser workouts on the market, but there are other TV shows starting to make an appearance on the exercise scene. The latest DVD is from Lisa Rinna teaching unique blends of hip hop and ballroom dancing as you see on Dancing with the Stars.

Another one that promises a great workout is Kim Kardashian's new DVD series. Not only do you get to be inspired by your favorite stars, but some of the deliver very effective workouts that are unique as well.

Last but definitely not least, weighted hula hoops are growing in popularity as well. Even if you were not big on the hoop as a child, chances are you will get the core workout of your life with one of these. They are a little different from your childhood hoops because they are made to be different weights, but the spinning motion around the hips and waist is the same.

There are DVDs for the hoop now and many gyms are now offering classes, but you could make up your own play sessions and get in shape with this product on your own.

Make fitness enjoyable and you are more likely to stick with it for the rest of your life. Not only is doing the same thing all the time boring, but it makes your body a less efficient fat burner as well. So, shake things up and make sure to check out the latest trends at least a couple times a year! - 17269
