Discover the hottest fitness trends of 2010.  Craig Ballantyne gives you the inside scoop on the best workouts to help you lose fat and get lean.
2009 was an amazing year in the fitness industry as millions of men and women finally lost body fat thanks to powerful programs like Turbulence Training, P90X and kettlebell workouts.  In fact, I’d say that short, burst workouts were the program of the year.  What does 2010 hold for fitness and nutrition?

Sit back, grab yourself a Green Tea and join us as we predict the future of fitness and give you dozens of new workout and diet tips to help you lose fat and sculpt your body faster than ever in 2010.

Trend #1

Kettlebell friendly gyms will become more popular.

Without a doubt, kettlebells have continued to get more popular each year since they were first introduced.  But the first decade of kettlebell popularity was spent creating a hardcore mentality about kettlebells that slowed their acceptance into mainstream fitness.  In my opinion, kettlebells could be 20 times more popular than they are now.  So in 2010, you’ll start to see a more family friendly version of kettlebell workouts and training areas at your local gym.  Since they are already being sold on infomercials, it’s time for kettlebells to explode in popularity and to be given the space they deserve in your neighbourhood gym.

Trend #2

Cardio programs will be back with a vengeance.

In 2010, we’re going to see more personal trainers and fitness instructors dreaming up exotic new cardio workouts again.  We’ll get new cardio machines, more cardio articles in magazines and even aerobics classes may come back in style.  However, the truth is you can’t ignore the research and results:  interval training and metabolic resistance training will continue to dominate when it comes to burning fat fast.
