Take a kinder, gentler approach to exercise with Cozy Cardio, a new fitness trend on TikTok. And if you find intense workouts intimidating, it could be the ideal way to get fit.
Instead of putting you through a grueling workout, Cozy Cardio is all about making exercise an enjoyable and accessible everyday activity.
It involves creating a calm and comfortable exercise environment and doing a cardio workout, usually in the comfort of your own home.
The creator of TikTok, Hope Zuckerbrow, popularized the trend when she was the first to post her morning cardio routine on the platform.
Her early morning cardio session involved lighting a candle, making an iced coffee and putting on fluffy socks before walking at a gentle pace on her treadmill for 40 minutes with a romance movie playing in the background.
Since then, many social media users have shared their own Cozy Cardio routines. There are many ways to get in on the trend, including wearing your favorite loose-fitting clothes, lighting a candle or playing soothing music while you work out.
