One of the most popular areas of mass, sports and health-improving physical culture is fitness. Today, there are many interpretations of the meaning of the word “фітнес”, that comes from the English “fitness”, which means “adaptation”, “suitability” and “compliance”. However, if we take a broader look and realize the effect of fitness on a person, we can confidently say that fitness is, first of all, health. Modern trends in fitness are a natural result of the search for effective ways to provide organized physical activity accessible to the general population in order to improve health. This article considers various types of modern fitness trends and analyzes the effectiveness and favorable factors of exercises that are aimed at improving and maintaining the physical shape of a person. The problems of the modern distrustful attitude towards fitness as a full-fledged direction of physical culture are highlighted, and the opposite is proved.
