The gym is not everyone\u2019s cup of tea so we have made sure to source the best and most effective workouts that are celebrity favourites for you to try out this summer. This year we\u2019ve noticed the upcoming trends in fitness are HIIT, power workouts, hot yoga, belly dancing and more. Who said you need to hit the gym to achieve your body goals?!<\/p>\n
HIIT<\/p>\n
First in our line up of trends are HIIT workouts, perfect for busy bees, parents and those wanting to lose weight quick and fast. Khloe Kardashian in particular has favoured HIIT workouts over anything else, introduced to her by her trainer Gunnar Peterson. Khloe participates in high intensity workouts 3-5 days a week including a mixture of cardio, circuits, pilates and boxing which she claims as her favourite stress relieving sport. These workouts send the metabolism roaring and the fat screaming! David Beckham, one of the fittest men on earth, is also a fan so you know it has got to be good. Plus, Gunnar\u2019s philosophy to HIIT is: “Get on a regular routine. Exercise should be a cornerstone of your life, like brushing your teeth. It’s not even an option to blow it off.”<\/p>\n

11am: apple with peanut butter or nuts<\/p>\n

HOT YOGA<\/p>\n
Hot yoga is all the rage this year consisting of 60-minute workouts in 104 degree heat. The aim of this as Jennifer Hassett (Core Power Yoga\u2019s brand marketing manager) says, \u201cheat stimulates fat receptors, activating fat stores which facilitate fat loss and the release of fat-soluble toxins.\u201d Therefore by doing hot yoga, calories burn faster for a more effective workout. This workout is excellent for those who get bored easily as the music changes daily between rock, pop and hip hop to keep students feeling motivated and pumped. Reese Witherspoon is a regular attendee alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, Coleen Rooney and Andy Murray.<\/p>\n

SPINNING<\/p>\n
Spinning is one of the most famous sporting exercise classes famous for its intensive cycling combinations and toning of the upper body. This cardio workout has become a hit with Hollywood stars such as Lady Gaga, Katie Holmes, Ashley Tisdale and Nicole Kidman. The class is an easy way to stay motivated and get fit with friends or on your own. The exercise consists of pumping away to the beat of the music changing it up to create harder resistance and fire in the thighs or fast short burst sprints to work the heart rate. This is an excellent class to lose weight and tone up as it is proven to burn up to 700 calories in just one 45 minute session.<\/p>\n

BEACH BOOT CAMPS<\/p>\n
What better way to get beach ready than on the beach itself?! Britain\u2019s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has been spotted getting fit in Portugal at a summer boo tcamp along with Rosie Fortesque at Ibiza beach camp and Jessica Knowles at Marbella\u2019s very own Miss Fit coached by our fitness columnist Luke Hill. The premise of beach boot camps is to do cardiovascular workouts while going against the sand while you run providing an extra calorie-burning workout. Very often tyres, ropes and medicine balls are brought down to the beach to intensify training sessions. Miss Fit runs camps every 6 weeks with morning and evening training sessions.

Believe it or not fans of the exercise regime are also pleased to know they have learnt an extra dancing ability thrown into a fun-packed weekly workout.<\/p>\n
