Trend #1: Exercising In The Great Outdoors
After years of adapting to life without a gym, more and more people are choosing to exercise outside and are reaping the benefits of breathing in fresh air, while working up a sweat. Whether you’re going for a run, walking, or doing PT or free weights in your backyard or a local park, experiencing your daily workout outside can do wonders for both your physical and mental health. And don’t forget to track your progress on the Garmin Vivomove 3S Watch. Weather not playing ball? Take your workout indoors with the BH Fitness I.

Trend #2: Powering Up With Prebiotics And Probiotics
Prebiotics are great for gut health as they’re a food source for the healthy bacteria in your gut, helping the good bacteria grow and boosting your body’s digestive system. Flaxseeds and chia seeds are great sources of prebiotics and make excellent additions to any smoothie. Just load it all into the Russell Hobbs Mix & Go Classic blender for a healthy way to start your day. Probiotics, meanwhile, boost your immune system by fighting off bad bacteria, reducing inflammation and some allergy symptoms. Tempeh is a great non-meat (soy) source of probiotics, and delicious when marinated in a teriyaki, peanut or spicy sauce and cooked in a stir-fry using the Sunbeam 7.5 Litre Diamond Force Wok.
“Our gut comprises trillions of different bacteria, and in order to have a healthy gut microbiome, we need to have a diverse range of beneficial bacteria. That’s why including pre and probiotics can be beneficial for improving mood, reducing digestive symptoms such as bloating, skin health and general wellbeing,” says clinical nutritionist Georgia Betts.

Trend #3: Practising Mindfulness
Exercising is great for our physical health, but what are you doing to look after your mental health? That’s where mindfulness, which is essentially a workout for your mind, comes in. More and more people are seeing the benefits, both in improving their mental health and reducing stress and anxiety. Meditation is a great example of how to practise mindfulness – throw on your noise-cancelling Beats Studio Buds, so you’ll be in the zone when you do a guided meditation on the Headspace or Smiling Mind apps. Turn on your Ellia Gather Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser to help induce further relaxation and transform the mood of your space.
If meditation isn’t for you, there are other ways to reap the benefits. You could incorporate a gratitude practice, which involves writing down 3–5 things you’re grateful for (such as family, a roof over your head, air to breathe and friends), into your morning routine to help put you in a positive frame of mind to approach the day.

Trend #4: Recover, Recover, Recover
As any workout warrior will tell you, you need to allow recovery time after exercise – whether that’s a gym visit or a park run on a frosty morning. Post-workout, massage can help you to avoid or reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), while also improving mobility and flexibility so you can perform at your peak during your next gym, PT or home fitness session. The Homedics Pro Massage Gun can be used all over your body, including calves, hip flexors, shoulders, quads and neck to loosen up tight muscles and help with DOMS.
