DAILY REMINDER FOR CLIENTS 4. Express workouts
Express workouts encourage partici- pants to do multiple exercises at a fast pace to generate maximum results. This is an effective approach for people on a tight schedule – perfect for lunch time or after work.
5. Nutrition and healthy eating programs
Combining exercise with healthy eating is the best approach to see the results of your efforts sooner – whether it’s weight loss or advancing your overall fitness level.
6. Circuit training and boot camps Circuit training involves a series of exercises performed in rotation with minimal rest. A fitness boot camp mixes traditional callisthenic and body weight exercises with interval training and strength training.
7. Wearable technology
Wearable technology is making its way up in the top 10 list (from number 13 in 2016) as more Canadians adopt tech-pow- ered fitness trackers like MYZONE, FitBit, Garmin and others to track their activity, sleep and hydration.
What exercise are you doing in 2017?
O
ver 1,400 canfitpro fitness professionals were surveyed in December to predict what they felt the most effective fitness trends would be in 2017 and they have been compiled in a top ten list. This is the third edition of this survey that distinguishes between what is popular and what actually will be effective. Here are the results:
1. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
HIIT involves intense periods of ex- ercise followed by brief durations of rest. This high intensity approach is increas- ingly popular because it provides a good workout in a shorter time than steady- state cardio and because it works for all fitness levels.
2. Functional fitness
Functional fitness uses multiple muscle groups to strengthen in a holistic way, versus one specific muscle group at a time. Functional fitness programs include

practical, balance-challenging movements that simulate activities like shovelling snow, carrying groceries, or unloading the car.
3. Older adult training
Older adult training moved up three positions from number 6 in 2016, based on the growing demand from Baby Boom- ers looking to adopt healthier habits to maintain their health and quality of life into their 60s and beyond.
8. Group personal training/small class training
Group personal training involves small groups doing a series of exercises at their own rate, coached by a fitness profession- al. Participants benefit from the motiva- tion and competitive spirit of working out in a group, as well as the expertise and tips provided by the trainer leading the class.
9. Body weight training (using
your body as resistance) Using your own body weight to create resistance is a growing workout trend among Canadian fitness professionals and consumers. This form of exercise builds strength and muscle and burns fat without the need for equipment, making it easy to get started and less intimidating for beginners.
10. Personal training
More Canadians than ever are choos- ing to work with personal trainers to accelerate their workout results. Train- ers create customized fitness plans, offer advice for healthy eating and provide one-on-one motivational coaching to reach fitness goals safely and with proper form.
