5 Fitness Trends to Try This Summer
The Kaiku Blog

If you're that person that loves to just hit the pavement running "Forrest Gump Style," then I salute you. Because I...am not. I hate anything that makes my heart pump at an uncomfortable pace, and anything that makes sweat exude from my pores. On the other hand, I love feeling fit, healthy, and happy. So what's a girl to do? These fitness trends got my rear and gear and happier than ever! Not everyone loves to lift weights grunting, or run until their legs fall off. Don't fret, there is workout for everyone! Here are the latest fitness trends in 2017:

1. Spin Class ...in the dark

I was TERRIFED to try a spin class. Think about it, you are on a bike that isn't going anywhere, really fast, with weights, standing up, all while someone is yelling at you to go even faster. I'm sorry what did I sign up for? TBH ...it was one of the most fun workouts I have ever tried. The lights are off, the music is blaring, it is like being in an awesome nightclub, except way less sketchy. This class is definitely for the ones who like to party.

2. Buti Yoga

This yoga class will get your BOOTY moving (pun intended). Your typical yoga movements mixed with cardio-intensive tribal dance. So get ready to unleash your inner Beyonce with sexy primal movements and fat-burning cardio. Watch your confidence soar as let loose and have fun!

3. CrossFit

Yes, CrossFit has been around for quite a few years now, but its popularity is only increasing. There are 3 main reasons CrossFit maintains such a passionate following; Strength, Social, and Accomplishments. CrossFit has this unique environment that encompasses teamwork and hardship. When groups of people endure physical challenges, it tends to bind them together. Add kinship with achieving insane physical goals, and you have a recipe for an obsession.

4. Workout Apps


Ladies and Gentlemen, it is 2017! We are busy as hell and if we somehow find a minuscule amount of time to drag our butts to the gym, well thats a miracle in itself. People want fitness and results, and they want them now! With apps like DailyBurn and Beachbody programs, health nuts can workout any time any where, and that is pretty freakin awesome!

5. Boutique Fitness

Some people don't like the gym and PSA, that's okay! It can be embarrassing, confusing, and time consuming. At a Boutique Fitness center the atmosphere is more intimate, with small group classes, personal trainers, and nutrition coaching to help clients achieve their goals. They take out all of the stress factors and serve a healthy lifestyle to you on a silver platter. #SignMeUp

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
