Maintaining your health and fitness is of utmost importance. 2023 witnessed several health and fitness trends that helped people maintain their overall well-being.

Viral fitness routines and rules such as 30-30-30 and 12-3-30 workouts were actively tried and practised by social media users in 2023, who aimed to lose weight and stay fit.  

Wellness coaching

The trend of hiring wellness coaches rose in 2023 and is expected to rise in 2024 as well. Wellness coaches plan a personalised wellness routine for you and help you implement it. 

Mini workouts

This year, several people preferred mini workouts over high-intensity workouts as they fit easily into their daily schedule. This involved a short burst of 15 minutes of exercise or brisk walking for 10-15 minutes.

Body weight training

Many people opted for bodyweight training instead of hitting the gym. This training requires one to practice multi-level exercises in little space. It helps burn calories, improves body balance and makes you flexible.
