Fitness trends highlight strength training and luxury athleisure

Fitness experts and fashion trends are highlighting ways to return to exercise routines. Trainer Isaac Asenjo Castro of CDM Cea Bermúdez recommends starting September with realistic goals to avoid frustration. He suggests a routine consisting of three days of strength training per week, specifically highlighting pull-ups, bench presses, and hack squats as essential exercises. For those over 50 without injuries, he suggests a split of 70 percent strength and 30 percent cardio.

In the realm of fitness apparel, the athleisure trend continues to grow. Brands such as Alo Yoga, Lululemon, and Varley are noted for creating high-quality, stylish clothing that transitions from the gym to daily wear. Lululemon, a Canadian pioneer in the sector, focuses on monochromatic, technical designs, while Varley emphasizes a 'quiet luxury' aesthetic combining London elegance with Los Angeles wellness styles.
