Fitness trends, fun workouts

1. If you’re a dance-fitness Zumba fan but want to up the intensity, check out Cuerpaso, a Latin American–style boot camp. The combination of soccer drills and dance moves keeps you inspired and entertained. If you can’t find a class in your area, try a DVD available at cuerpaso.com.

2. Belly up to The Bar Method, a ballet-inspired, posture-enhancing style of strength training and muscle toning. You’ll spend a lot of time on your toes and feel the burn in your quads—a good thing. For locations and information, go to barmethod.com.

3. Sharing a personal trainer for a group training session is one of the top fitness trends of 2010, according to the American Council on Exercise. You still get a challenging, new workout and supervision on form, but you split the cost—anywhere from $50 on up—with a friend or friends. Bonus: You and your buddies can hold one another accountable for future workouts.
