Wellness isn’t just about green juice and yoga mats anymore. The younger generation is redefining what it means to “feel good” with new and emerging trends that prioritize health, relaxation, and community. From sketchy health habits to luxury luxuries, these new wellness trends are creating an exciting and dynamic environment surrounding self-care. How so? Our piece takes a closer look at how younger generations are leading the way.
The Rise of Tech-Driven Relaxation
Tech is not just for connecting and entertaining—now we are using it for our wellbeing. Guided meditation apps, sleep support apps, and mental health support apps—we are using technology to make sure we care for our minds and bodies.
Tech doesn’t just help outside of the hot tub, either. With Bluetooth-enabled Jacuzzi Hot Tub accessories, you stream your favorite playlist, award-winning audiobooks, or even the newest party-pumping music right into your hot tub to enhance relaxation.
Fitness with a Twist
Traditional workouts are getting left behind, replaced by mood-boosting, mind-centering movements. Whether it’s dance cardio, outdoor group yoga classes, or something else, young adults are making moving their bodies something to enjoy — rather than obligation.
The same goes for water workouts. Aqua yoga, pool resistance moves, or body toning swims provide a killer one-two punch of exercise plus a mindful water connection. Swimming and gym-style moves build strength, endurance, and flexibility, while the feel of the aquatic environment is shown to reduce stress. Give your muscles some love after your workout with the ultimate in recovery: a soak in a hot tub. Add in massaging jets and warm water, and you’ll erase soreness, release muscle fatigue, and boost overall workout recovery. You’ve covered movement and restoration. No doubt you’re in the zone and on your way to feeling better, body and soul.
A Focus on Mental Health
Young adults are among those lifting the stigma from mental health, and today, the numbers support that trend in wellness practices. Mindfulness, journaling, therapy, and other solutions effectively encourage relaxation and calm.
Since hot tubs have a calming influence on both the mind and body, more and more people are turning to them for mental self-care. Their warm and gentle waters promote relief from tension. Bubbling jets can soften muscles and ease the impact of work and screen time. It’s no wonder hot tub use for self-care is especially common for young adults.
Sustainable Self-Care
Eco-friendly living is the third tell-tale sign of youth culture. In addition to mental and physical wellness, the wellness industry reflects care for the environment through sustainably sourced, eco-friendly beauty, skincare, and food products. And this care doesn’t stop with one’s appearance. Millennials and Generation Z go so far as to expect eco-friendly products and practices in industries such as tourism and food service.
Relaxation today is not just a good way to unwind and feel better about yourself but also environmentally friendly, too! From solar-powered hot tub accessories to energy-efficient hot tubs, there is no need to compromise well-being and comfort in exchange for growing the carbon footprint.
