We don’t normally encourage you to jump on fitness trends. After all, there are so many false promises out there – nailing the basics is all you really need to get fitter and stronger.

However, given that we’re feeling a little rubbish thanks to news of the Omicron variant, we want to look forward to 2022 and the new things it might have in store for us. Luckily, there are plenty of workouts that seem both fun and functional – some of which you might recognise but are making a comeback because they work, others you might never have dipped your toe into. We’ve picked five that we want to include in our own fitness regime – no fads, no quick fixes, just interesting ways to move your body that you might not have considered before.
