Self-care and mental health have been trends on the rise in the wellness space for the past few years. But the sky-high stress levels of 2020 have led to an even bigger uptick in fitness for the sake of our mental and emotional health. Restorative fitness genres — Yoga, Pilates and Barre — took the majority of the slots in the top five most popular digital workouts this year (and meditation and stretching made it into the top 10), as members called for ways to manage pandemic stress.
