If you are tired of your workout routine and want to add some pizazz, check out these three hot workout trends for 2006, courtesy of Fitness Magazine.
Sports-specific training:
Taking a class to help you gear up for a sport is becoming a popular way to work out. Whether you're gearing up for a triathlon or a snowboarding trip, you'll find a class to help you reach your goal. Some classes might include a competition or an adventure trip when the training is complete. Other sports-specific classes to look for: golf, surfing, skiing, and even basketball.
Physical therapy tools for everyone:
Think Bosus, foam rollers, small balls, and wobble boards. According to IDEA Health & Fitness Association, an organization of health and fitness professionals, these rehabilitating tools are making their way into gyms because they challenge your muscles in a different way, improve balance skills, and sculpt sexy muscles all over.
Trainers for two:
One trainer working with more than one person (anywhere from two to six) allows you to get one-on-one attention with the motivation of a group, according to the American Council on Exercise. Plus, it's more affordable - you'll save up to about $50 a session.
