There’s a lot of buzz about 2019’s hottest fitness trends and the information can be, frankly, overwhelming, especially for beginners. So, we’re taking some of the top trends and breaking them down into three categories – beginner, intermediate, and advanced – so you can better parse which ones apply to you, your individual fitness level and your goals.
Fitness industry leader the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) released its report on fitness trends for 2019 based on its annual worldwide fitness trends survey – now in its 13th year. More than 2,000 health and fitness professionals completed the survey, ranking 39 possible trends on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least likely to become a trend and 10 the most likely.
Wearable Technology: The number one trend for 2019 according to the ACSM is wearable technology – think fitness trackers, smart watches and the like. While tech like this is useful for people of all fitness levels, it is particularly helpful for beginners because it can provide insight you might never have had before. Whether it is learning what your resting heart rate is, tracking the number of steps you take in a typical day or figuring out how many calories you burn on average, wearable technology can help you get a sense of where you stand right now and provide you with data to create realistic, informed fitness goals.
Employing Certified Fitness Professionals/Personal Training: The ACSM’s sixth and eighth fitness trends dovetail nicely and are both a fit for beginners. According to the survey, hiring certified health and fitness professionals is more important than ever. Working with a fitness trainer and/or nutrition coach is an excellent way to set yourself up for success on your own in the future. It doesn’t have to be a long-term commitment – do whatever is within your budget – but even a couple of sessions can give you valuable knowledge. A personal trainer can help you get comfortable in a gym – especially if you haven’t worked out in one before – help you create a workout routine, teach you exercises – and most importantly, teach you correct form to prevent injury and to ensure an effective workout. Similarly, a nutritionist or dietitian can teach you nutrition basics, find healthy alternatives to certain foods and help you plan out your meals.
Yoga: It’s probably safe to say yoga will continue to be a trend for years to come – everybody seems to be doing it and there are new versions of it cropping up all the time. While some types of yoga are more advanced – such as hot yoga – traditional yoga is based on mindful breathing and slow, controlled movements and stretches. It is essentially meditation in motion and is beneficial for both the mind and body.
Group Training: This is the number two fitness trend for 2019, and while anyone can benefit from and enjoy group training, it fits particularly well with those who classify themselves as being at the intermediate level. While the group atmosphere can be motivational, fun and can help you stay accountable, it can be intimidating for some people, particularly beginners. Once you have established your own routine and feel comfortable branching out, check out classes at your local gym, yoga centre or dance studio and see what feels right.
Bodyweight Training: This trend really falls right in the middle between beginner and intermediate. It requires hardly any equipment – not much more than a yoga mat – and is based on using your own bodyweight to build strength. Think of exercises such as pushups, pullups, planks, and Pilates movements. It’s a great way to begin resistance strength training and, as you get stronger, you can work your way up to incorporating hand weights, dumbbells, and barbells.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): High-Intensity Interval Training is the number three trend for 2019. HIIT is a type of exercise routine that involves short bursts of high-intensity exercise and then a brief rest period. It doesn’t have to be extremely intense, but we put it under the Advanced category because HIIT is designed to get your heart rate up rapidly and HIIT routines can involve a lot of co-ordination and switching quickly from one exercise to the next – a combination that might be overwhelming for some.One of my favorite people, performance artist Julie Laffin, is curating Site Unseen 2009 this November for the The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. This year’s theme is disability and as part of the show, Julie will appear larger than life, piped in through Skype onto a projection screen. Her appearance is part of a performance piece she crafted with long-time collaborator (and this year’s assistant curator) Clover Morell in order to help increase visibility of the effects of environmental illness. Julie suffers from severe chemical sensitivity and chronic lyme disease and was unable to attend the show she curated last year due to her disability. This year’s theme came about as a result of Julie’s strong relationship with Chicago DCA Theater Director Claire Geall Sutton. The show will take place at the Chicago Cultural Center on Monday, November 09, 2009 from 6:00 pm — 9:00 pm and is free to the public. Stay tuned to Planet Thrive for a recap of the event by Julie herself.

Suddenly Dirty (Dirty Texas #1)(3)By: J.A. Low

“Happy Birthday Beautiful,” Beau says, jumping onto the bed snuggling into me, lavishing me with kisses; even after ten years together he was still loving. Beau’s been working hard the past couple of months since taking over the family law practice from his father. I seldom have time with him lately, most mornings he is gone before I am, and most nights he is still at the office.
“I’ve got something for you.” Producing a red leather case from the bedside table, he hands it to me.
The gold cursive writing was a dead giveaway for what was inside. Diamonds! By the size of the box, lots and lots of them. Opening the case, a stunning diamond necklace glittered in the morning sun.
“Beau this is too much,” I tell him, picking up the necklace from its velvet case, twisting and turning it around in my hands. After all these years together, Beau’s wealth still made me uncomfortable.
“Sweetheart, nothing is too much for you.”
Tears well in my eyes. “Babe, this is so beautiful.”
Beau brushes the happy tears from my cheeks. “I love you, Sienna.” His soft lips touch mine.
Showing my appreciation for the gift, I pull him closer, thanking him with a searing hot kiss. “Do you have time for a quickie?” I ask with hope – it is my birthday!
“Sorry babe, I have an early morning meeting, but I’ll make it up to you tonight, I promise.” Giving me a quick kiss on the forehead, Beau heads towards the shower.
Falling back on the bed, with a whole lot of pent up sexual frustration aching between my thighs, my only relief would be with my BOB – like most mornings. Turning towards my bedside table, I open my drawer looking for that relief.

Fluorescent lights burn my sore eyes brining me back to the present as I splash my face with water. I look like shit and feel even worse. My stomach rolls again, remembering what happened at the party. I can’t seem to stop throwing up – even though there is nothing left to purge.

“Looking for Beau?” Phillip, Beau’s father asks, watching me walk off the dance floor.
“Yes, I am.” Beau’s parents tolerated me. I wasn’t their first choice for him, and they remind him of that constantly.
“I think he headed towards the boathouse.” Phillip sneers.
Following his direction, I head towards it. The view from our backyard is one of the best Sydney offers. Our home is nestled in the Eastern Suburbs amongst the multi-million dollar estates that hug the rocky shoreline of the harbor. You can see Sydney’s icons from the garden; the Harbor Bridge and Opera House. The twinkling lights from the moored yachts and cruises dot the waterways.
My heels sink into the damp, dewy grass. As I get closer to the boat house, raised voice’s echo from within. Peering through the opened porthole, so not to disturb the argument, I can see two silhouettes standing close together with the only light filtering through from the full moon.
“When are you going to tell her?” The female voice asks, walking towards the other figure.
I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the scene, wondering what was going on. “I want to start a life with you. You know this is what they have always wanted for us, what we have always wanted.”
The man rakes his fingers through his hair but stays silent.
Leaning in closer the woman kisses him, pulling him closer to her, holding his face as she controls the kiss. Her hands run down his back, squeezing the tight globes of his ass. He steps away after a moment, putting distance between them.
“You know that time is running out. We won’
