Group predicts fitness trends of 2012


RipFire to get ripped

 


As 2012 approaches, CNN reports on some of the top fitness trends that are expected to take off in the new year, some of which are designed to help you get ripped. According to the news source, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) surveyed more than 2,600 personal trainers to come up with their list of next year's top trends.


Number one on the list was that more people are expected to become fitness trainers. Close behind it, however, was strength training.


"Strength training is popular in commercial, community, clinical, and corporate health and fitness facilities for men, women and in  many  cases, children," states the ACSM report.


Next on the list was increased fitness programs for older adults. As baby boomers are getting older, they seem to be more committed to exercise than previous generations. This suggests that more programs should be developed to cater to this particular population.


Some other highlights of the trends list were Zumba and other dance programs, boot camps and spinning.
