Ranging from connected training jump ropes to STEM sports subscriptions, the December 2021 sports trends highlight the latest innovations in the athletic industry.
One noteworthy example comes from Texas-based fitness brand Better Way Body. The brand recently debuted TonerBum, a utility patented glute and leg toning dumbbell. Its ergonomic design prioritizes comfort while effectively isolating all three gluteus muscle groups - the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. TonerBum, according to the company, works the gluteal muscles more efficiently and safely than common exercises such as squats, lunges, and resistance bands
Another intriguing example from the December 2021 sports trends list is the Penny Blackout Skateboard. In addition to their flexibility, the boards are ultra-strong and boast an impressive level of grip thanks to the waffle non-slip finish and soft-riding wheels.
