Top Fitness Trends in 2010
Kristin - January 7, 2010
Another year, another set of broken promises. We all do it!
Yes, I’m talking to you. We write down or mentally list our New Year’s resolutions which most likely include some type of workout regimen or fitness promise. But how often do we actually follow through? 2010 could be the year you take up a Zumba class or invest in the Wii Fit.
The American Council on Exercise (www.acefitness.org) came up with a list of the top ten fitness trends for 2010. The list is based on a survey of personal trainers, group fitness experts, and lifestyle and weight management consultants. This year, one of the most obvious conclusions is that consumers will be looking to arrange their fitness regimen with time and money in mind. I listed five out of the ten trends below.
Cost-Conscious Workouts at Fitness Clubs and at Home: Gyms will alter programming and training to accommodate cost-conscious members, while at-home workouts utilizing small, portable fitness equipment will be popular.

Group Training: Instead of pricey personal training sessions, people will take advantage of small-group training and group classes. This might be a good time to get some friends together and go on a run, hike or do yoga together.

Exergaming: This year, fitness clubs will integrate fitness-based video games into their programming. Popularity of Wii Sports and PC-based Dancetown will continue to grow.

Specialty Exercise Classes: Ethnic dancing, pole dancing and classes like Zumba will remain popular this year. Fusion-type classes will also become popular, like the Bodypump and Bodyflow classes offered at 24 Hour Fitness.

Fitness Training Tools: Technology is being integrated into the fitness world through online training and scheduling tools. Check out gadgets like the Fitbit (www.fitbit.com) or the Bodybugg (www.bodybugg.com) that track calories burned, distance traveled and even sleep quality.

Speaking from experience, I LOVE ZUMBA! My friends and I took one class, and then they were addicted! I Love to dance so it was perfect for me!
Has anyone tried the Wii Fit? My friend has it and loves it, but I was wondering how good of a workout it is?
