High-Intensity Interval Training
High-intensity period training-or HIIT-is the best fitness craze for 2014. It is a full-body workout, consisting of alternating intervals of high-intensity anaerobic exercise and short periods of resting time. The workouts are short, typically lasting a maximum of 30 minutes.
Body Weight Training
Body weight training utilizes the individual's own weight as a source of natural immunity. Because gym equipment is usually not necessary for this kind of exercise, it may be completed in most spaces and with most budgets.
Educated, Certified and Experienced Personal Trainers
Personal training is known for its lax regulations, resulting in huge differences in the standard of private trainers. Two third-party accreditation systems-CAAHEP and NCCA-have stepped up, providing quality instruction and certification programs for fitness pros. Personal trainers with these certificates are better able to devise excellent fitness programs for their clientele.
Fitness Programs for Older Adults
These programs are geared toward adults that are retirement age and above. They provide a number of humidity levels to match active older people as well as those who are more fragile. The programs improve strength and coordination, allowing for much more active daily activities.
Functional Fitness
Functional fitness allows people to perform their everyday lives with more power, balance and endurance. The programs are best for elderly adults and for people who have recently gone through physical therapy.
Group Personal Training
Groups in this kind of private training usually range from 2-4 members. It is a popular option because many times it's less expensive than individual private training. It also allows friends or family members to train together.
Yoga
Yoga fluctuates as a fitness trend, but is on the rise again in 2014. There are a number of incarnations of yoga, but most have the common thread of promoting strength, flexibility and balance. Mainly done in a group environment, together with constant practice one can achieve mental and emotional balance and stability along with a toned body.
Fitness Programs for Children
These programs have grown in response to the growth of childhood obesity combined with the decrease of in-school fitness programs. Children's programs concentrate on keeping children occupied and teaching them appropriate nutritional and exercise habits.
Core Training
Core training focuses on strengthening the abs, thorax and back muscles. It's especially valuable to individuals with a high chance of back problems, but is normally beneficial to everyone.
Outdoor Activities
Getting exercise outside by swimming, biking, hiking or playing team sports has advantages that indoor activities do not. The difference of terrain helps work unique muscles and sunlight provides higher vitamin D levels.
