Kettlebells

Get prepared for the old Soviet Olympic training regimes. Kettlebells have had a remarkable resurgence in the last few years, as trainers are discovering even more benefits to modern kettlebell workouts. Modern kettlbell workouts are great fro working your muscles through the full range of motion, thereby developing even muscle tone, and are great for developing functional strength. By utilising both fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibres, kettlebells workouts will help you burn calories, while developing dynamic strength in your arms and legs, and a rock hard core. They are also a great stress relief. If they are not in your fitness club yet, they will be by 2014.

Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal Yoga has been practiced by pregnant women the world over for decades, but modern researchers, are just now finding the wide range of health benefits that are associated with it. Prenatal Yoga has been documented to provide great stress relief, and promotes healthy breathing techniques for labor. Classes have been popping up in Metro areas recently, but expect greater attendances once the newly researched benefits are published more extensively.

Booty Barre

Booty Barre is the new Zumba, which was the new Tai Bo. Booty Barre is a combination of pilates, yoga and dance that promotes the complete approach to health and fitness. The program has been designed to harness the trimming effects of pilates, while provide the lean and functional strength that comes from traditional dance techniques. The result is a flexible and strengthen physique that looks great. Booty Barre has taken over North America, but there are no trainers in Australia yet. Once the marketing and training team reaches Australian shores, expect a great rise in classes available. http://thebootybarre.com/

Aqua Jogging

This is another old timer that will be getting hearts racing in 2014. Because aqua jogging is low resistance it can be performed by anyone, especially the elderly and those recovering from injury. But just because it is low resistant does not mean that it provides little benefits. New workouts have been developed to provide both great cardio and strength benefits without adding excessive strain on joints and tendons. As more pools and fitness clubs offer advanced classes expect a rise in a younger and fitter generation of individuals jogging aqua jogging for the health and fitness benefits.

Female For Life is excited at the new fitness trends that will be taking over fitness clubs and backyards in 2014, and they are proud to offer the best range of plus size clothing, and workout clothes for women in all shapes and sizes, from petite to plus size.
