Hot Fitness Trends for 2011!

What do you have for Seniors

Rotator Cuff injury?

Exercise isnt all you have to do. Eating right is essential and key in weight lose.

For the ladies that can't make it to Zumba or don't want to have to join a gym to do it, Get a Wii. They offer the ZUMBA FITNESS game on both that console and the Kinect for Xbox. Keep your new years resolution alive don't use an excuse as not being able to get to the gym keep you from having that summer body.

ok really how is anyone that has a regular life and is not stuck at home watching kids surppossed to have time to do this? i go to school eight hours a day clean house cook and then do my homework and when i'mn done i have time for a shower and bed then it all starts over again and on the weekends i work as a carpenter's aprrentice most i have time to do is 50-75 situps once a week not to mention this all takes money theat 2/3 of americans don't have really? is this a robbery or tips

I like the fact that the power plate is 10,000$ worth of nothing. It has been proven in studies to have no benefits on people unless you are wheelchair bound.

R.I.P.P.E.D. is also a great workout. if you like bootcamp class/kickboxing this is a great class format. on the line of PX90

What ever happened to good old, tried and true "eat less, move more".

I used to do Zumba years ago before anyone had heard of it. I like fitness crazes because I keep fit by changing what I do, which keeps me interested in it. My new thing is intenSati (among other things I do), which wasn't even mentioned in this article! I guess I am ahead of fitness trends. As long as you find some way to stay active, I think it's perfectly fine to change up what you do and follow trends. JUST GET MOVING! :-)

The best fitness is still the one you can do in your own home, and without following a video...DANCE. Screw learning steps or following someone else who's already mastered it and therefore makes you feel like a loser....just dance to your own favorite, upbeat songs, but dance for a solid 20 minutes, to start. The routine needs to give you time to warm up...and gradually pick up the pace until you're really moving fast and consistently for at least 12 minutes and concludes with a cool down song to allow you to bring your heart rate back to near normal. Keep it fresh and add time to the workout as your stamina increases. You can eventually incorporate resistance with elastic bands during warm up and cool down. Guaranteed to get you in shape for almost nothing. Your time, your place, your music...all you have to do is be consistent.

All you need to get a great workout is gravity and a floor. Unless you are on the space station you don't need to spend a lot of money on equipment or classes. Kettle Bells are great but you need to know how to use them properly to avoid injury and to get the most out of them. Do whatever you enjoy but don't think you have to spend any money to get fit. Push ups, Pull ups, ab exercises like plank, and other calisthenics will do wonders for your body and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes three times a week.

Looking for a girlfriend? Best way to get one is by either starting or joining a new dance fitness craze.... notice just about every picture or video you see of these going back to the 80s feature mostly (if not all) women

regardless of what exercises you do if you dont control your calories it will be all for naught. for a simple home workout go to SimpleHomeFitness.com. you can exercise at home with easy to use equipment.

P90X. Done and done.

I'm 63 and in the best shape of my life from what I call JumpRock, which I started at age 55. The key, in my opinion, is to start a workout everyday without putting pressure on by commiting to how long it will last. If you keep it up, the way you feel afterwards will get you addicted to feeling that way, although lethargy will still try to stop you. That's how I got started at age 32 using an exercise bike, then 23 years later, JumpRock. http://www.youtube.com/qfeguy and http://qfeguy.com. Nothing for sale, just sharing my experience.

Ohhh come on you could have said more than you did about Zumba.
PEACE,LOVE AND ZUMBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Charlie W, zumba isn't a gimic as you put it. It's exercise in disguise and soooo much fun. Before you go putting ANY form of exercise that others like down, give it a try.

Dedication and discipline and diet are the keys to being healthy. With that everything else as far as self confidence on ones own self will fall into place! People need to realize that working out is not a month long activity with instant benefits!! You need to put in the time and dedication!!! I hope that all of you who start these workout regime stick with it!!! Good luck to you all!

You forgot Crossfit and P90X. Candidly, anything that is described as 'hot', 'a craze', 'trend', 'sweeping the nation' is bound to fail. Look at the Atkins diet. Not to mention, you do not mention enough about dieting. That may not be the focus of your article, but the two go hand in hand. If you are going to workout, especially with the goal of losing weight, you diet is extremely important. You are what you eat, regardless of how much you exercise.

I'm new to Wii fit. Love it because I can do it while children are sleeping!

these sound great -
I simply wish ppl would just shut the hell up about all of it.......
do it or don't - this has b/c such a money making market - sad.

Wow, these seem that this was the hot trend starting a few years ago. My new fitness love is HOT HULA FITNESS, its replacing a lot of zumba classes at 24hr fitness. Love HHula.
