Have you seen ACSM's top fitness trends for 2011?? If not go to http://www.stonehearthnewsletters.com/acsms-top-fitness-trends-for-2011/corporate-fitness/ and check this out. Unfortunately, Pilates has fallen off of the top 10. The number one trend is EDUCATED AND EXPERIENCED FITNESS PROFESSIONALS. Hallelujah, as I do believe this is needed.

2. Fitness programs for older adults
3. Strength training
4. Children and obesity

6. Core training

9. functional fitness
10. Physician referrals

These are key and as I continue to study and grow, I do agree with this list. Check it out and let me know what you think. These guidelines are on track and I believe we need to be using them for our focus. Heed well.
