Cold Workout Classes

Give heat the cold shoulder with this cool fitness concept, which promises improved blood circulation, decreased pain, and stress relief. There are three workouts led by instructors - in 16°C (60°F), 13°C (55°F) and 7°C (45°F) temperatures - using various combinations of sandbells, slideboards, battle ropes, and dumbbells.

Plogging

A portmanteau of jogging and the Swedish phrase 'plocka upp,' meaning pick up, plogging started as an organized activity in Scandinavia a couple of years ago and has grown in popularity thanks to social media. The concept is simple: bring a bag along on your run and pick up garbage along the way.

BEST PLACE TO TRY: Your own backyard. Bring the kids or some friends along and power through your workout and litter in one karmic boost.

Climbing

Whether you're a lifelong boulderer or too scared of heights to set foot in a rock gym, it's hard not to get chills when you see a female climber complete a challenging route.

In addition to the recent uptick in women's interest in the sport, the climbing community has been in an era of "female firsts" for a while now. In rock climbing, strength, flexibility, and nerves of steel are needed in equal measure — and more women than ever are proving that they're triple threats.

BEST PLACE TO TRY: Chalk up at The Climbing Works in Sheffield, the climbing capital of the UK, home to some of the best indoor bouldering walls in the world.

On-Demand Yoga

Yoga is truly for every body, wonderful for improving flexibility and balance not to mention its benefits for mental clarity and stress management. Now you can access top-notch yoga instruction from the comfort of your home or hotel room with online streaming and apps.

BEST PLACE TO TRY: Anywhere! when you subscribe to a yoga and meditation platform like Inner Dimension TV. Created by Yoga Alliancecertified E-RYT 500 instructor, Lauren Eckstrom, along with her husband Travis Eliot, IDM boasts over 60 classes created and taught by the couple including thematic Power Yoga, Meditation, Yin Yoga, Yoga for Beginners, Gentle, Restorative, and Pranayama practices.

Rebounding

Move over kids...trampolines aren’t just for fun and games, or gymnasts, anymore. Trampoline workouts - called rebounding on a mini-trampoline - are hugely popular with celebrities, and for good reason. The bouncing works your lower back and leg muscles; is a great cardio workout while being low-stress on the joints; boosts lymphatic drainage and immune function; improves digestion; and, it’s fun!

BEST PLACE TO TRY: Santiago, Chile at Summit Trampoline Parks, with hundreds of interconnected and wall trampolines for open jumping as well as foam pools to dive into.
