Celebrities seem to set the trends for fashion, beauty and fitness. It is encouraging to see celebs workout because it allows us to know they have to be physically active to stay in good shape and maintain an ideal weight. It reminds us that they are no different from us, aside from the fact that they are famous. You don't have to be a celebrity or be famous to enjoy these top five newest celeb fitness trends.
Hula Hooping is one of the top five newest fitness trends.

Several celebrities participate in and believe in yogalosophy, a combination of union (yoga) and experience (-losophy). Mandy Ingber created yogalosophy, and she has numerous celebrity clients, including Jennifer Aniston. Victoria Beckham is one of the newest celebrities to practice yogalosophy. Beckham works out in the comfort of her own home with the help of Ingber's workout DVD. Kate Beckinsale, Ricki Lake and Brooke Shields are other celebs known for enjoying this new fitness trend.
#2 Kangoo jumps
Kangoos are a low impact jumping boot made particularly for jogging and running. They allow joggers to achieve an excellent workout with less impact than one would experience in regular sports shoes. Kim and Kourtney Kardashian started the pogo jogging trend when they were spotted wearing them in Miami Beach.
#3 Barefoot running
Barefoot running isn't actually running with bare feet; rather, it is running in shoes that give the sensation of running barefooted. The shoes look like rubber socks and are called Vibram Fivefingers. Matthew McConaughey attests that barefoot running is an efficient and safe exercise experience that energizes the muscles in the feet and calves. Kate Hudson, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum have also been seen barefoot running in Vibram shoes.
#4 Soul cycling
SoulCycle is a spinning studio in New York, and soul cycling is a 45 minute combination of cycling and a spiritual encounter. This sounds like a unique combination of yoga and cycling to me since candles are lit and music is used for inspiration and vivacity. Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Brooke Shields all enjoy soul cycling. Jon Bon Jovi has also been known to hit the cycling studio to enjoy this new fitness trend.
#5 Hula hooping
Forget the toy hula hoops, and pick up a weighted hula hoop to melt up to 600 calories each hour while toning the body and polishing posture. Marisa Tomei began hula hooping to get in shape for her part as a dancer in the movie "The Wrestler." Beyonce, Liv Tyler and Michelle Obama have also incorporated hula hooping into their workout regimen.
