More and more people are obsessed with leading a healthy lifestyle. But feeling good usually corresponds with looking good, so eating right and consuming the right food is not the entire piece of the puzzle. Incorporating an exact training regime is what most people strive for. Combining the right sort of exercises with a healthy meal plan is what will get you the results you need.

But which sports and training products do people in the US turn to?

With a plethora of options, one can say that the people in the US are spoilt for choice. Going for a game of pick-up basketball with your friends once a week, joining a gym, or going for a 5 mile run a few times a week. These are just some of the options that people resort to stay healthy.

However, in order to do it right, you have to get yourself the right sort of equipment and sports products. Here are a few contemporary examples particularly directed at people from the US.

Boxing Training

Believe it or not, boxing has gained popularity among both men and women recently. Learning how to box is not only beneficial for self defense, it is an excellent way of keeping your entire body fit. You get strength, cardio and learn how to maintain balance.

Additionally, stand up is a vital part of mixed martial arts. With the rise of the popularity of UFC and other MMA organizations, many people who study different martial arts techniques take separate boxing classes to improve their striking ability.

The states where boxing training lessons are most prevalent include:

Alabama
Arizona
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Illinois
Louisiana
Maryland
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
New Mexico
Ohio
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Texas
Virginia

Believe it or not, Texas is the state in which most people are obsessed with boxing training. New York and Florida follow it. The equipment that most people tend to purchase is boxing gloves, boxing shoes, and protective equipment.

A good pair of boxing gloves will cost you about $130, but you can get a decent pair on sale at as low as $30 bucks. Depending on the brand, boxing shoes tend to go between $50 to $120. The most purchased protective equipment tends to be hand wraps (sold at about $10 tops) and headgear (available from $30 to $120).

Workout Plan

Signing up at a gym usually comes with a workout plan. Many people who are serious about getting in shape will search for a gym that provides a favorable workout plan. In this case, both young and middle-aged people of all genders tend to search for places to train.

A full-body training session combined with a suitable meal is all that one needs. More so, the people who are tied to their desks during the better part of the day tend to view this as a great way of doing something good for their bodies.

The states where people usually search for good workout plans include:

Alaska
Arkansas
Idaho
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Maine
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
New Hampshire
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Utah
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

According to the latest research, the people of Indiana and Minnesota are the ones that are searching the most for workout plans. A workout plan in a gym usually goes between $12 to $25 per workout. While a session with a fitness trainer will start at $29 and may go all the way up to $166 per person.

Golf Lessons

Getting golf lessons may not be as rigorous as going to a gym or doing boxing. But it can be a good workout, particularly if you are not doing any other type of physical activity. Getting golf lessons is more popular with middle-aged to elderly men. But women of the same age groups have also started doing it.

The states in the US where applying for golfing lessons is prevalent include:

California
Colorado
Connecticut
Massachusetts
Michigan
Oregon
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Vermont
Washington

It is no surprise that California is the absolute leader when it comes to the number of people who want to go golfing. However, golfing is not a cheap hobby at all. A set of golf clubs can cost you about $1,500, while a set of real quality ones can go up to a couple of thousand dollars. The lowest that you can pay for a single club is about $150. But the price for a really good one can rack up to $2,000 apiece.
