Latest Fitness Trends

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, one of the principal fitness trends involves nothing more than your own body weight.

ACSM asked 3,346 corporate, clinical, community, commercial and academic health and fitness experts to answer the question, what is likely to make up the most popular fitness trends in 2013. The participants discussed emerging trends and whether or not last years’ trendy programs continued to be appealing. The survey listed 37 possible choices and the specialists rated the top 20.

This year’s ‘it’ fitness programs include a blend of new ways to sweat it out as well as some previous fitness regimens. Body weight training, a technique that uses your body’s weight as the foundation of resistance for strength training and muscle endurance. Spinning and Pilates, however, were less popular.

Most people can agree that physical activity is vital to our health and living a long life, but this does not mean everyone engages in exercise and eats well-balanced, nutritional meals. Obesity seems to be on the high rise, not just with adults, but with children, as well. These youngsters are the future of our generation, of the world, and how are we supposed to witness their potential if they never make it past their formative years due to obesity, poor diet, and almost no physical exercise? Staying active are of the utmost importance for the development of growing children. For them to achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams, whatever they may be, it all starts with exercise.

Exercise gives them the energy to do things productively on a day-to-day basis. However, while this sounds all poetic and inspirational, the reality of it is that many schools lack fitness education programs. People do not realize just how crucial a physical education class is as opposed to a Biology class, an English class, or a Math class. Fitness education is just as important. Why do people work out? Simple.
