Bodyweight Training
Based on a survey conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine on 3,000 fitness experts from all over the world, bodyweight training will be trending this year. Many fitness buffs and those who are starting to explore workout regimens will be more inclined to do bodyweight training since it doesn’t require the use of any equipment except for their own body. Pilates, planks, squats, and the like are just some examples of bodyweight exercises.

Customized Classes. Before
those who are looking for fitness programs tend to enroll in boot camps to work their body out. Experts agree that the template used in boot camps aren’t really effective that is why, in 2015, customized classes will be trending. In these classes, students will work on their weaknesses instead of having to push themselves to do complicated workouts.

High Intensity Interval Training
There is no doubt that HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training will be all the rage when it comes to fitness in 2015. In this workout, high intensity exercises are interspersed with low intensity workouts or even rest periods. Although HIIT isn’t exactly new as many workout programs are already incorporating it, it will still be one of the trending workouts in 2015. An example of HIIT is going on a full run for 1 minute then walking for 2 minutes. This beats having to exercise for hours because this way, you will be burning more calories. Most fitness buffs enjoy HIIT because their workout time is cut short without affecting the results.

Customized Training Online
Gone are the days when you need to hire a personal fitness to train your body. Today, fitness experts are bringing their workout regimen to anyone who desires to stay fit and toned through the internet. What’s great about training online is that people are not limited when it comes to exercising since they can access various fitness trainers all over the globe. Studies also show that more and more people are more interested in working out online compared to hiring a personal trainer within their area because they see better results.
