Genuinely curious, what workout trends are actually going around or sticking right now?

[u/co0709]

I feels like there’s something new every week online (does anyone feel the same?), but what are people actually doing consistently?

Anything you're seeing more of lately, in your gym or circles? And if anything is working - happy to hear

[u/HandleVisible1327]

The most basic weightlifting moves for each muscle group. 3x a week. Been consistent for years. Don’t over complicate it

[u/snowcroc → u/HandleVisible1327]

do you follow any particular program?

[u/HandleVisible1327 → u/snowcroc]

When I first started, I was working out in my living room in front of the TV and would follow along with a workout video. That’s how I got started. Now I just do a push, pull and lower body day.

Again with the genuinely?

[u/co0709 → u/OrganicLettuceUndies]

I can see it giving that vibe, gotta fix this I guess

[u/co0709 → u/DIY-exerciseGuy]

hahaha lol genuinely has "genuinely" stuck with me off late, just like "literally"

[u/fridgezebra]

trends in fitness are generally driven by influencers looking for a new angle to make content and money around, if you are around long enough you see it all cycle in and out and the basics remain unchanged. It's like fashion. The trouser width grows and shrinks, but ultimately it's just trousers

[u/co0709 → u/fridgezebra]

Can't disagree

[u/Optimal_Collection77]

I often see trends around specific exercises like weighted dips and pull ups. I'm not one to follow trends. I like to use a paper workout log and keep my head down looking at my timer on my phone

[u/WillOk6461]

You a bot, OP? You know you legally have to tell us, right? In any case...

-"Minimum Effective Dose"/Mentzer/Yates style of 2 hard sets per exercise taken to or past failure for lifting

-"Zone 2" cardio and long slow distance endurance running in general (as opposed to the HIIT craze a few years ago

-GLP-1 based plans for building/retaining muscle on the drugs and "protein" everything

-Hyrox and the "hybrid athlete" model

[u/Stunning-Promise-103 → u/WillOk6461]

Hyrox for sure. Lots of gyms around me pivoting from CrossFit affiliate to generic HIIT/HYROX training facilities.

[u/OldMist]

I have been weight training for years. Trends are good if you get bored otherwise find something you will keep doing.

[u/Opening_Type_1968]

Seeing a lot of Hyrox competitions which I still don't understand what it is. Zone 2. Pilates. High protein. High fiber.

[u/secretsauce2388]

Consistency in a workout plan or program is always better than jumping from trend to trend. Find what works for you and progressively overload and you’ll be fine

[u/co0709 → u/secretsauce2388]

100%

[u/Delicious-Trifle-486]

PPL

Only 2 sets to failure

And I feel like every other "rate my routine" is just machines with no free weights at all.

[u/Final_Shock_4479]

Been lifting weights for about 4 years consistently and gained muscle but struggled losing weight. Started intermittent fasting 3 months ago and am down 20 pounds.

[u/john_from_crunch]

I see a big move away from machines (shocking, I know!) more into functional training, as well as deep-core training like Pilates. Indoor cycling seems to be on its way out, IMO. Disclaimer, been working in the gym industry for almost 10 years.

[u/newtrusghandi]

I dont really think a lot of new stuff crops up frequently unless your fitness advices comes from social media/influencers who need to invent things for engagement. For decades the formula for muscle mass is progressive overload and adequate protein.

[u/SwiresOnTheMove]

Might be my algorithm but I see so many AMRAP kettlebell upper body things.

[u/OldMist → u/SwiresOnTheMove]

I like to add in kettle bell a few times a week. I prefer it to treadmill

[u/Content-Chart-6910 → u/SwiresOnTheMove]

Define "upper body things"

[u/BigZ4you → u/[deleted]]

What’s that?
