Hot new fitness trends for 2019 “EXERCISE IS MEDICINE”

Here’s how we will be sweating in the new year.

Before, we used to think there is no time for exercise and nowadays fitness is becoming a simple
healthy routine. We integrate working out in our lives like any other daily task without asking
ourselves if we should. Why? Because once we do it, we immediately feel pleasure. Not to
mention how the physical appearance and self-esteem can improve. Fitness is a way to happiness
in your life!

Traveling is easily becoming one of the biggest trends for millenials and a workout routine
needs to fit that lifestyle. Wearable Technology, like smart watches and fitness apps, are taking
over the market and making working out on the go easier than ever.

Bodyweight Training, where you use only your body, like in push-ups and planks, to get you
sweating is the perfect no-equipment or DIY workout due to its extreme convenience – for any
time, anywhere. Your body itself is truly a great resistance training tool.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) took the top spot since 2014, its shorts bursts of high-

intensity buts of exercise followed by a short period of rest. The main point is to get a quick and
very efficient workout, anywhere, so it’s perfect for busy professionals or even stay-at-home
mums.

Another clear trend for 2019 are resistance bands, they are becoming the most used fitness
accessory because of their light weight. The effects are the same as using machines!

Group Trainings or classes are also very much in demand. Especially circuits where all members
interact with each other. In Dublin, this is becoming the new social meeting over the weekends,
followed by a well-deserved brunch 😉

Yoga, where mind and body are linked, is both a mental and physical workout. Suitable for all
ages, it is a kind of meditation while toning the body – you get the best of both worlds. You can
do it in a park, no gym necessary!

And for the party people, dance-based workouts are perfect as a way to party yourself into
shape! Having fun while socializing and exercising will definitely be a trend in 2019.
