The Rise of 'Cozy Cardio': How a Viral Trend is Reshaping Morning Workouts

A new fitness trend dubbed "Cozy Cardio" is gaining traction, with social media influencer Hope Zuckerbrow at its forefront. Zuckerbrow's recent video, detailing her 5 AM routine, highlights the appeal of this low-impact exercise approach. The routine, which begins with a protein-infused coffee and a banana, sets a comfortable tone with the lighting of a "Cozy Comfort" candle. Participants engage in walking on a treadmill, often while watching television, in a relaxed home environment. Zuckerbrow's 40-minute session in her latest video saw her cover 2.62 kilometers and burn approximately 166 calories, all while enjoying a movie. This trend offers an alternative to high-intensity workouts, focusing instead on creating a soothing and accessible fitness experience, which has resonated with a broad audience and even attracted the attention of major media outlets.
