At the recent IDEA World Fitness Convention, we tracked down the ten top programming trends so we could share them with you. How many do you agree with?
And the Top 10 Fitness Program Trends are...
1. Balance training: Not just keeping your equilibrium, but also symmetry between left and right sides
2. Functional resistance training: Training to enhance the coordinated working relationship between the nervous and muscular systems
3. Mind-body programs (Pilates, Gyrotonic, tai chi, meditation)
4. Body weight leverage training: You know, push-ups fall into this category. Which means, boys and girls, it’s time for…..a word from our sponsors (me):
Besides the trend of me trying to hold my abs tight, there are officially six more:
5. Personal training that two people share
6. Stretching/ Flexibility: We’ve talked about this quite a bit, especially as we (all of us, not just F&F) age!!!!
7. Personal training that 3-5 people share: Share the love; share the cost!
8. Group exercise programming – dance, cycle-based, core conditioning, muscle conditioning, boxing based, branded choreography, circuit classes: This one has us quite excited, especially with the advent of Batuka andLaBlast. Look for these in 2012. We’re predicting these will be big!
9. Strength training
10. Outdoor activities: walking, outdoor personal training, group hiking, running, cycling Hmmm, shouldn’t “moseying” be on this list?
So, which was more exciting for you – watching me doing push-ups or seeing the programming trends for fitness? (Psssst, there is only one right answer)
