By Carlos Elysee 30 MINUTES IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR THE FITNESS INDUSTRY I have witnessed a lot of change in the industry and in the way people view and engage in exercise. One of the key changes is time. People have become time-poor. They work longer hours, work two or more jobs and through that, struggle to find time to do things with their kids, catch up with friends, or manage the home, let alone exercise. Exercise all too often can come last, due to the misconception that you need to spend a long time working out to get into shape and see results. 18 We live in a world that is gripped with staying fit but we have less and less time to do it. I strongly believe there is a need to change to meet the needs of our customers. tWe need to get people back into exercising but for shorter periods of time and in a more intense way to help them achieve their goals without them feeling committed to huge blocks of time. HIIT can be done anywhere. It only takes from 10 - 30 minutes a day and doesn’t require any equipment. WHAT’S NEW IN FITNESS - WINTER 2017
