In these belt-tightening times, cost-conscious workouts at home and at the gym topped the list of fitness trends for this year in a survey, followed by shorter, more time-efficient regimens, such as boot camp and circuit training. Money-saving measures, such as the shift from personal training sessions to small group training classes and in-home workouts using smaller, more portable equipment, also made the list. Boot-camp workouts and circuit training, both of which burn calories while building strength and endurance, will be among the most popular trends in 2010, as time-constrained consumers seek shorter, more intense regimens. One bright spot is the rise of exergaming-type systmes, like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Wil Fit and the PC-based Dancetown. The fitness-based video games are turning up in health clubs and senior centers. Functional training workouts, which are geared to improving the quality of life and the ability to perform everyday tasks, will remain strong, and the use of computerized tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase in the coming year.
一项针对今年健身流行趋势的调查显示，在当下需要勒紧裤腰带过日子的时期，人们将在家和健身房用省钱的方法健身列为首选，其次是强力训练和循环训练这种更省时间的强化锻炼方式。省钱办法包括从私教课程转为集体课，以及使用更小更便携的器材在家锻炼等。由于人们时间紧迫，耗时少、强度大的健身方式更受青睐，2010年最受欢迎的健身项目将是强力瘦身训练和循环训练，这两种方式既可以燃烧脂肪，又可以增强力量和耐力。健身游戏的兴起成为其中的一个亮点，如任天堂的Wii运动游戏、Wii Fit平衡板和需在电脑上使用的Dancetown游戏。健身类视频游戏越来越多地出现在健康俱乐部和老人中心。以功能性训练为目的的健身将继续保持强劲势头，这种锻炼方式主要是为了提高生活质量和完成日常工作的能力。此外，计算机跟踪、在线训练和排程工具的使用在来年也会增加。
