Summer is coming and you haven't done anything for your bikini/swimwear body again? Never mind, it's never too late for sporting activities! If you find football, volleyball etc. too boring over time, you should try out the following trend sports for 2017: Each of them promises fun, challenges your body, your mind and trains your muscles.
Stand up paddling
This sport is not brand new, but it is so fun that it cannot be missing from the list of the best trend sports in 2017. Stand up paddling may look easy, but it requires a lot of body control because the board is pretty wobbly. In order to move forward, you have to use the paddle, which means you end up in the cool water. But once you get the hang of it, stand up paddling is a lot of fun: you sail comfortably across the water, possibly get stranded on deserted banks and can enjoy nature in peace. You can find an example of stand-up paddling equipment on Amazon .
Aerial yoga
Yoga is so popular that there is now even a version called beer yoga, which actually involves drinking beer. However, another form is one of the trend sports in 2017: so-called aerial yoga. Elements from yoga, Pilates and acrobatics are combined and performed using towels attached to the ceiling. These support you during the exercises and ensure a particularly great feeling of weightlessness. On Amazon, for example, there are various sets so that you can do aerial yoga in a relaxed manner at home.
Crossminton
Badminton was yesterday, crossminton is popular in 2017! This trend sport is similar to tennis, squash and badminton and ensures a lot of speed. Together with a second player - you can also compete against each other in two teams - you play the so-called speeder back and forth between you. This looks like a badminton ball, but is smaller and heavier, which is why you can hit the speeder further and faster. What's great is that you don't need a network and you can basically play anywhere. Speeders and Speedminton rackets are available in different versions on Amazon .
Cross boccia
Cross boccia is a clever invention by Würzburg students and is therefore definitely on the list of the best trend sports in 2017. In contrast to boules or boccia, which can only be played on special courts, cross boccia can be played anywhere. The rules are the same as for classic boccia, but the type of ball is different: Cross boccia uses a mixture of hacky sacks and juggling balls that was specially developed for this sport and even floats. You can buy the colorful cross boccia balls on Amazon, for example.
Slackline
Before there is an outcry because talented and less talented acrobats have been seen on a slackline in recent summers, it should be said that the tight rope is once again one of the trend sports in 2017. To do this, you buy a slackline and stretch it between two nearby trees. Then you can start with your first steps – and that is easier said than done! The wobbly slackline will certainly bring you to the ground a few times, because a strong sense of balance and body control are the be-all and end-all. Slacklining is still fun and also ensures more balance. You can also find various slacklines on Amazon.
So get out into the fresh air and test out the trend sports for 2017 together with family, friends or fellow students!
You and your friends will have a lot of fun in the summer with the trend sports for 2017!
