A new survey of fitness experts was released a couple of days ago. It included the opinions of personal trainers, weight management experts, and other fitness professionals. The survey asked them to predict the trends in the fitness industry for 2008. They indicated that they thought that functional fitness, bodyweight workouts, total wellness, and outside-the-gym workouts would be popular this coming year. Additionally, they predicted that a focus on over age 50 fitness, short very focused workouts, technology-based workouts, and use of a personal exercise trainer  would also be favorites of exercisers in 2008. We'll see, but I'm sure that at least one trend no one saw coming will make a splash as we get into the coming year.
