Even though the cornerstones of health and fitness are fairly concrete (consume fewer calories than you burn—and make sure those calories are derived from nutritious, whole foods), we like to shake up our methods. We’ve seen trends change over the decades from fat-burning DVDs to sport-specific training. Don’t deny it: You’ve probably searched for workouts that’ll turn you into Tom Brady.
Wolters Kluwer Health just released its 13th annual Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends for 2019, comprising intel from more than 2,000 health and fitness professionals.
“The survey was designed to confirm or to introduce new trends (not fads) that have a perceived positive impact on the industry according to the international respondent,” Walter R. Thompson, Ph.D., FACSM, of Georgia State University, Atlanta, and Immediate Past-President of ACSM says in a press release.
The top 20 include workplace health and fitness promotions (No. 15), as well as a boom in employment of certified fitness professionals (No. 6). However, trends that have fallen from the list include circuit weight training, sport-specific training, and core training.
