THE health and fitness industry came to a halt last year during the initial hard lockdown – people could no longer go to the gym.
People had to find fast and innovative ways of staying fit. That led to online training becoming one of the most popular health and fitness trends for 2021.
Online workouts make use of digital streaming technology to allow you to view and follow instructional exercises.
Your personal interests and fitness goals usually determine the type of workout sessions you’ll stream – yoga, barre, HIIT, strength, or boxing sessions.
Following fitness celebrities on social media, watching online exercise videos on YouTube, or subscribing to paid sessions are all options to consider for your online workouts.
If you haven’t already gotten on board with this growing trend, it’s not a train smash – you can still get up to speed.
Therefore, let’s take a look at some of the fitness influencers you should know and follow in 2021.
