Now that we’ve started into the new year, and the initial “rush” of New Year’s Resolutions has passed, it’s time to truly focus on health and fitness. Here’s a quick rundown on some of the fitness trends for 2019.
2019 Fitness Trends #1: Wearable Technology
This trend has been accelerating for awhile now. Smart fitness trackers like FitBit, heart monitors, and smart watches like the Apple Watch give you the ability to track heart rate, exercise level, caloric and water intake. Expect this to continue to grow.
2019 Fitness Trends #2: On Line Training
You’ve seen the ads for the Peleton indoor cycle, providing you with live, on-line training sessions. On-line training is now coming for treadmills and rowing machines in 2019, and for those that want more variety, or already have home exercise equipment, expect more apps for your phone or tablet that allow you to experience live, group training sessions on-line.
2019 Fitness Trends #3: Bodyweight Training
With bodyweight training systems like TRX Suspension Training, and training modality that are based on using your own body weight for resistance (think pushups, and planks), the expansion of training to include the ability to train anytime and anywhere, can allow you to make sure you stay on your fitness program while traveling, making training that much more convenient.
2019 Fitness Trends #4: HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)
Workouts involving short bursts of high intensity exercise, followed by a short rest period, have been the top training program for the past few years. Expect that to continue, especially as equipment manufactures continue to create and improve their offerings for this training regime.
2019 Fitness Trends #5: Exercising At Home
Home workouts will continue to be popular this year. Many Americans are creating home gyms, or using streaming technology to exercise under their own roofs. And, getting started doesn’t’t require a large amount of space or investment, and may save you money over the long term, compared to gym memberships.
