Here are the top five fitness trends for 2010 based on a survey done by the American College of Sports medicine among fitness professionals across the globe.
5. The stability ball bounces back
Take out that old stability ball from your closet. Throw it back into your regular workout routine to help you increase muscle strengths, tone core muscle groups and achieve better balance.
4. Pilates power
Pilates remains a favorite because it can be done without expensive equipment and can easily be learned and perfected after a few sessions. It trains the core muscles and improves flexibility and posture.
3. Personal trainers
More fitness enthusiasts will require the assistance of personal trainers who give professional suggestions and opinions regarding exercise programs.
2. Sport-specific training
Who says you can’t kick balls or shoot hoops during the off season? Athletes and sports enthusiasts engaging in their favorite sports in the off-season have an advantage because they build their strength and endurance.
1. Strength training
Weight lifting remains a top fitness trend for both men and women. However, its purpose is no longer limited to body sculpting or body building as more people have started to lift weights simply to increase and maintain strength as they get older.
