So, even though my 2019 workout schedule is set, ahead, check out 11 workouts you should try this year if you’re looking to shake things up from what you did in 2018.
Boxing has been one of the most popular workouts of the last few years amongst both men and women. And while that will only continue into 2019, other fight-inspired workouts, like Muay Thai, will gain steam and be adapted to more inclusive environments where beginners will feel welcome to indulge in the practice for fitness purposes. One such place is Hit House, a boutique studio in Manhattan that offers Muay Thai-inspired classes that you take barefoot and use a softer punching bag for less impact-heavy hits and leg kicks.
If you’ve taken to this popular low-impact, toning workout last year, prepare for barre 2.0 with more studios adding accessories, like resistance bands, platforms, and cuff and ankle weights, to their classes. Pure Barre began the movement with its Empower classes in 2017 and has added Reform last year, both classes that combine add-ons like bands, sliders, and body weights with strength-training moves.
Leave it to the Australians to come up with a bootcamp-style class that I, as someone with a love-hate relationship with intense methods of working out, actually love. Featuring a new workout every single day (but the same class across the world on that day), an F45 class can range from a strength to a HIIT workout (or a hybrid of the two). After the class gets broken down by numbers or pods, participants complete the exercises circuit-style in the span of 45 to 60 minutes. And while every class is hard, no matter what it entails on that given day, it’s truly addictive. For those who love a meal plan, they also provide some of the most approachable (and free!) recipes out there as part of the challenges they host every few months.
There is no workout that has seen more innovative variations than pilates in the last 12 months. For fans of this strengthening, leaning, and toning workout, you should try hot pilates or Meghan Markle’s beloved Megaformer class. The one we’re most excited to dive into on the regular though is Equinox’s Pilates Remix, a class that combines classic Pilates moves with contemporary exercises that are performed for 8 to 12 reps and repeated for two sets and use an io-Ball to challenge stability, all set to an upbeat soundtrack.
