WORKOUTS
Because there’s never
enough time in the day, another
new exercise trend focuses on
shorter, more productive workouts.
One recent study found that
doing as little as one set to failure
of a lift once a week can give
you significantly more strength
compared with the standard of
three sets of 10, three times a
week.

NICHE GYMS
Like CrossFit and martial
arts studios and boxing
gyms, the focus for some people
in 2019 is on small, niche spaces
that cater to their exercise fetish.
Whether it’s old standbys like
yoga and Pilates or newer fads like
vertical climbing machines, the
fitness industry has seen people
being more and more motivated
to seek out particular workout
experiences.

Machines
With the focus on
maximising your
time working out, new
exercise machines like
the Bowflex HVT will
combine your cardio
with strength training.

INLINE SKATING
Roundly ridiculed when they first
came out in the ’80s, inline
skates are coming back into fitness
vogue. People are gravitating
to the fast, fun, and thrilling whole-
body workout that skates can
give. And according to the Mayo Clinic, an hour of skating for a 200-pound person can burn about
700 calories. If you get the itch to push and glide in 2019, check out K2, which makes some of the
slickest and most modern skates around.
