From improved exercises to new gadgets, there are a few next-big things in the exercise and wellness world worth knowing about. Find out how to use these new fitness trends to help reach your goals faster:
Express & Intense Workouts
The increasing need of the population to get fit faster stems from the phrase: “train smarter, not longer.” This New Year you can expect to see more “express” style workouts to get your fitness in faster and more efficiently. Workouts such as P90x and other DVD videos are popular along with high-intensity interval training style classes such as Tabata.

Nutrition Is Center Stage
People are becoming more aware of what they put into their bodies nowadays. According to Sandy Todd Webster, editor in chief for the IDEA Health and Fitness Association, “if you can teach a person how to eat well and stop putting unnecessary additives and chemicals into the body, their system will breathe a sigh of relief and start metabolizing the way it’s meant to.” Therefore, there will be a good chance you will start seeing more nutrition-based offerings like food and diet coaching in 2014.
Gyms Go Digital
I’m sure this comes as no surprise to most, but online training is climbing up the ranks in popularity. Look out for many gyms launching online platforms. Don’t forget to checkout our Youtube channel for great workout videos!
