Yes, I have spent a fair amount of time shortening the project
The literal definition of fitness is the desire to keep yourself and your body in great shape and the desire to be healthy. Physical activity, exercise, regular workouts, avoiding bad habits, proper rest and a healthy diet are all important in this complex. In more general terms - Fitness is not just physical training or physical activity, it’s a philosophy of existence, which organically combines sports, active lifestyle, proper nutrition and healthy optimism. This is the fruit of many years of practical work by specialists in various fields, which is embodied in special training programs designed to build a beautiful body, improve health and spirit. The task of fitness - to make life a full, joyful and healthy, learn to conquer new horizons.
Fitness program of this technology is chosen for each person individually, it is determined according to his gender and age, the level of current physical fitness, taking into account the structure of the body. It is also a beneficial effect on the flexibility of muscles and joints, the development of endurance and strength, balance and coordination. The technology itself is a set and automation of various exercises from different areas of fitness, which should also increase the performance of sports in a “physical” environment. Broader thought is a set of scientifically developed techniques and methods that are used to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the sports process in a chosen area.
One of the ideas of the project - Fitness technology should teach very important skills and abilities, and the user himself can make an independent and proactive choice of activities that will meet his needs, interests, personal preferences and will allow to achieve the results, which he set for himself as a goal. It is assumed that the user will also learn to adequately assess his own capabilities and abilities, and if the necessary sports facilities and infrastructure are available, he will model his goals more clearly.
The formation of an ideal figure, the development and strengthening of muscle mass is a natural and effortless result of the project.
For many, the word “familiar” is becoming synonymous with bad. The traditional format of multipurpose sports clubs is becoming less popular because it does not match the values of a generation: personalization and diversity. Long-term relationships with a particular club and sport are being replaced by a desire to experiment. Hybrid areas such as barre (a mix of Pilates, yoga, ballet and exercises with light dumbbells), combinations of yoga and strength classes, Pilates and crossfit are in fashion. The problem of diversity is solved by the single fitness subscriptions that appeared on the market: customers can choose from several hundred classes those that are held in a convenient place and at a convenient time. Millennials and post-millennials are also quickly mastering technology, so the industry seeks to create and use smart gadgets for the training process: dumbbells that change weight, exercisers that select workouts thanks to artificial intelligence, VR glasses with programs for cycling and running.
Innovation does not bypass sports. For example, the Russian company Deus created a training program for exercise bikes using a virtual reality helmet. It can be used with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift virtual reality glasses. The program is aimed primarily at professional cyclists, but can also be used for fitness. Through VR, the environment is fully conveyed, including climbs, while taking into account the resistance of the wheels, and the program also serves as a personal trainer. Boxing VR virtual training can give you the opportunity to learn a real fight and avoid injury. Teens really like training in a VR helmet because the fight feels like a game. The game shows your weaknesses, the artificial intelligence remembers them, and you fight, essentially, with the AI.
INDIVIDUAL FITNESS ON SMART MACHINES
The fitness clubs of the German company Milon scan all club members and record data on a personal card. This includes height, arm and leg bends, a strength test, and a flexibility test. After that, a personal program is made for each member. A person comes up to the simulator with a card, and the simulator itself for 5 seconds adapts to him: the size of the body, weight, amplitude - all according to the training program. Load changes depending on the sensor readings in real time. Workouts take 35 minutes, saving time while training all major muscle groups. Working on simulators is synchronized by all participants of the circle on a common timer, no need to wait for anyone. All workout data is stored in the cloud; it is also available to the club member and his trainer in the mobile app.

NEUROATHLETICS - A WORKOUT FOR THE BRAIN AND BODY
This is the latest trend in the world of sports, which originated in the United States. Its essence is that a person trains not only his body, but also the neural functions of the brain. This approach helps greatly improve coordination and muscle tone. This is an innovative method of training, which is primarily aimed at establishing a close connection between the brain and the body. Today neuroathletics is actively practiced by professional athletes, as it helps to increase working capacity and recover faster after injuries. Also, some of its elements are incorporated into training programs in fitness clubs around the world.
FITNESS TREND FOR GIRLS - WOMEN’S FITNESS BOXING
Martial arts and contact sports are becoming even more popular, and fitness boxing is gaining popularity in women’s fitness. Fitboxing is a combination of various boxing combinations and functional training, so all muscle groups work at once during the class. In contrast to the contact sport does not provide sparring as such, punches at a fast pace is applied only to the punching bag. Power exercises are actively replaced by cardio exercises and vice versa, so fitboxing promotes fast “drying” of the body, strengthens abs, increases endurance and improves coordination. And for those who want to lose weight, it is a highly effective way to get rid of extra pounds, as a person spends about 600-800 kcal per session.
HIIT - HIGH INTENSITY FULL BODY TRAINING
HIIT workouts have consistently been at the top of the most popular fitness trends for the past three years. No wonder, because HIIT helps to achieve the desired results in a short period of time, which is relevant in today’s world. It is a high-intensity interval training, which consists of aerobic load and strength exercises of varying degrees of difficulty. The main task of HIIT is to wake up and activate metabolic processes in the body, thereby accelerating the fat burning process, as well as strengthening the cardiovascular system and muscles.
ELECTROSTIMULATION
The principle of influencing the muscles by means of micro-discharges of current - electromyostimulation (or EMS - electrical muscle stimulation), which has been familiar in physiotherapy for decades. Atrophied muscles are repaired by means of sensors connected to the body of seriously injured patients. The same technology is used to train the bodies of astronauts spending months in weightlessness. Since the 1970s, EMS began to be used in cosmetology and fitness, and some companies, like Germany’s AmpliTrain, began producing their own equipment for gyms and selling the methodology - that is, proper handling of the device accompanied by a personal trainer.
For example:
Before your first session, the trainer measures your body composition and, taking into account the data and your goals - to build muscle or burn fat - compiles a program. This is recorded on your individual online page. Each exercise takes 1 minute, with cardio breaks of 4 minutes and 15 seconds to change machines and download your personalized card. All machines adjust for height and weight automatically, and heart rate can be monitored on the screen. The results and progress are displayed in a personal account on the website, but you can just look in your iPhone: after the session a full training report will be sent to your email.
EMA technology is a subspecies of EMS, which stands for electrical muscle activation. It works at medium frequencies, which are softer and deeper than the low frequencies of EMS.
