Good news for those whose bank accounts took a hammering over the festive period.
Bodyweight training requires no fancy Cheap Greg Olsen Jersey , expensive equipment, merely, well, your own body weight. The American College of Sports and Medicine's worldwide survey of fitness trends for 2015 has listed squats, lunges, push-ups Cheap Kawann Short Jersey , burpees and planks as the No 1 fitness trend for the coming year.

But just because no machines, dumbbells or weights are required does not mean it's easy. These movements are some of the most efficient ways to get in shape and strengthen muscles - so they are certainly intense.
"What's changed in the industry, in my opinion, is the rise of social media," says Mckenzi Sager, a London-based personal trainer. "Instagram Cheap Trai Turner Jersey , Twitter and Facebook are so prevalent that it's changed the average person's opinion of what a good body looks like. Five years ago, there was a standard of what looked good and now it's way higher as more people follow fitness accounts for inspiration.

"Because the standards are getting higher, people are on a quest to get better results. Bodyweight training is quite a general term but it's effective. Burpees, for instance, are exhausting."
Better still, this sort of training can be done practically anywhere from the living room to the park. Just make sure that you make some time for cardio for a full-range workout.

Shake it like a superstar
If you prefer your workout with a dollop of sass Cheap Ryan Kalil Jersey , then look no further than Seen on Screen. After realising that there were no classes that showed you how to shake it like your favourite pop stars, Bonnie Parsons, founder and former backing dancer, decided to start teaching classes in which you could learn the routines in famous music videos such as Beyonc 's "Crazy in Love" and Britney Spears's "I'm a Slave 4 U".

It proved a huge hit, and sign-ups for 2014's classes tripled. Due to high demand, they are opening a new centre in Manchester this month. But if you don't live there or in London Cheap Luke Kuechly Jersey , copycat programmes are popping up all over the country. Inspiring women to have self-assurance is Seen on Screen's calling card. This month they will also introduce their "Girlboss" classes in which women will learn the fierce routines seen in Destiny Child's "Independent Women" and a host of other bold tunes, while smoke machines, spotlights and wind machines inject some glamour.

"Women are bored and uninspired by the prospect of going to the gym and motivating themselves to run on a treadmill," says Parsons. "We're able to build self-esteem and confidence just as much as we are able to build dance technique. The fitness benefits from dance are a brilliant bonus to this, but really it's about having fun and feeling like a superstar."

Say yes to fat
Raise your arms and do a little dance because fat is back. While low-carb diets will remain popular this year, goodwill towards low fat is going sour Cheap Cam Newton Jersey , like a sad, little out-of-date 0 per cent yoghurt. The respected annual "What's Trending in Nutrition?" survey from Pollock Communications and Today's Dietitian magazine predicted that consumers will be welcoming back fat with open arms.

It may be an American survey, but since our food and diet trends are so intertwined, you can bet on a similar outcome this side of the pond.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves and hold off on that celebratory jug of cream for now. Unlike the Atkins diet, which encouraged followers to wolf down enough cheese and butter to make Henry VIII squirm, this is all about choosing the right sort of fat.

So you are looking at plenty of oils Cheap Christian McCaffrey Jersey , avocados, eggs, and so-called fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel. And carbs are encouraged. People are simply growing bored with fad diets.
"We found that dieticians are making recommendations that align with current guidelines for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease from the American Heart Association," explains Jenna Bell, the director of food and wellness at Pollock Communications.


Put down the goji berries and stock up on seeds and nuts, too Cheap Jordan Scarlett Jersey , as most registered dieticians named these as the superfood that will reign supreme in 2015.
