The ACSM’s Health & Fitness Journal conducts an annual survey to determine trends in the health market in order to help fitness professionals develop probably the most beneficial programs attainable. The Journal does develop a distinction between trends and fads, citing fads to become more transient than trends. Below are ten of the greatest fitness trends for 2014.
High-Intensity Interval Training
High-intensity interval training-or HIIT-is the best health trend for 2014. It’s a full body workout, consisting of alternating periods of high intensity anaerobic exercise as well as short periods of sleeping time. The workouts are brief, typically lasting a maximum of 30 minutes.
Body Weight Training
Body weight training uses the person’s own weight loss (recent gwadarsocial.socioon.com blog post) as a source of natural resistance. Because gym equipment is almost always not essential due to this type of exercise, it can be done in the majority of spaces and with many budgets.
Educated, Certified and also Experienced Personal Trainers
Personal training is known for its lax regulations, causing large differences in the quality of individual trainers. Two third-party accreditation systems-CAAHEP as well as NCCA-have stepped up, providing quality education as well as certification programs for physical fitness professionals. Personal trainers with such certifications are better able to devise quality fitness programs for the clients of theirs.
