It has been almost five years since the first Apple smart watches were released, and appetite for so-called wearable bands continues to grow - but not for every brand.

According to recent research by technology analysis Canalys, global shipments of both smartwatches and fitness bands across all brands have grown 65 per cent year-on-year in Q3 2019, to reach a record 45.5 million units.

In the smartwatch space, which includes devices that in addition to tracking fitness can run an operating system to provide smart applications like email or social media, Apple is the clear dominating force in the market.

The company launched the fifth iteration of the Apple Watch in September, which was met with great demand due to new features such as an always-on display and customization options. The Cupertino giant recorded its highest year-on-year smartwatch growth in two years, with the Watch 5 contributing nearly 60 per cent of its quarterly shipments.

Although Apple slashed the price of the Series 3 Watch to just under $200 where the Series 5 is priced at $399 customers are therefore still willing to pay the price for the devices.

Ben Stanton, research analyst at Canalys, told ZDNet: "In the smartwatch market, Apple is dominating. It seems to be the only vendor capable of delivering real volume at a high-end price point. But there is definitely energy in other parts of the market."

Much of this energy is coming from fitness bands, which are watches that only perform the tasks of a fitness tracker. Xiaomi has been making waves with shipping figures that reflect an aggressive expansion strategy.

Fitbit has suffered the immediate consequences of its competitors' success.

The Chinese company's Mi Band 4, which ships at $40, contributed to driving Xiaomi's wearable band sales up 74 per cent year-on-year, to achieve 12.2 million shipments. Xiaomi now holds 27% of the overall smartwatch and basic band market; the largest share, even overtaking Apple's 15% share.

Xiaomi, however, plays in a different field from Apple, offering products that are different in nature and in price. The same cannot be said of Fitbit, which has suffered the immediate consequences of its Chinese competitor's success.

Fitbit indeed faltered in Q3 2019, and was the only vendor in the top five not to grow shipments over the past year. "The basic band market is now increasingly dominated by companies like Xiaomi," said Stanton, "which has far greater scale than Fitbit and is not solely dependent on sales of wearable devices."

"Fitbit came from the basic band space, but it is now desperate to move beyond this market, and shift its base of users towards smartwatches."

The research shows that Fibit's launch of its Versa 2 smartwatch in September did provide a boost to sales, but didn't save the company from lagging behind other providers. Fitbit's share of the wearable band market shrunk to 8% in Q3 2019.

In November, Google acquired Fitbit for $2.1 billion, a move that has been interpreted as an effort to make smarter wearable bands. Fitbit promised at the time of the acquisition that the merger would "accelerate innovation in the wearables category". In light of Xiaomi's fast growth and Apple's loyal customer base, however, it remains to be seen whether the strategy will pay off.

Kansas City boasts a hot lineup of sports and fitness events this week - Hoodline

Disco lights bounced off the walls in the darkened room. Whimsical music played in the background. People gathered around to choose colorful garments and scarves with sound-making attachments. It might not seem like it, but all elements describe a fitness class.

Several women recently participated in a beginners belly dancing demonstration at the Samana Holistic Center located in Pottstown. Belly Dancing is a style often said to have originated in Egypt. The cultural dance involves isolated movements in the torso as well as other parts of the body. Its very common for belly dancers to wear costumes as they perform.

Jennifer Fischer, owner of the Samana Holistic Center, said she offered the belly dancing class because it sounded entertaining and not something heavily based on structure.

Its really about your creative energy and letting yourself go, she said. It brings out your childlike tendencies to just play and have fun.

It was Fischers first experience with belly dancing. She said the lights, music and outfits made for a festive atmosphere.

You didnt feel like you were in a yoga room. It just totally transformed everything, she said.

Lauren Baxter was the belly dancing instructor for the evening. She started learning the movements about three years ago. She had recently lost her mother and was seeking to fill a void in her life.

I was looking for something fun, Baxter said.

She joined a belly dance group but was disappointed when the instructors decided to stop the class. Baxter enjoyed belly dancing so much she decided to continue as an instructor. During the beginners class, Baxter demonstrated moves such as snake arms and how to make a figure eight with your hips.

She said the dance requires you to move all your body parts and engage your core. Breathing is also an important aspect.

Its a stress reliever. If you had a bad day, its like you forget about it, Baxter said.

Lisa Smith, of Douglassville, has participated in several of Baxters belly dancing classes. She was originally interested in the class because it sounded like an enjoyable way to get fit.

Im always looking for more fun ways to get exercise, Smith said. I just recently discovered I can dance a little bit. It feels really good and gets the blood pumping.

Smith said she has noticed the physical benefits in her abdomen and lower back.

I didnt realize how tight my lower back is from sitting at a desk all day. After doing this kind of movement, you really realize theres more flexibility there, she said.

Fischer plans to bring another belly dancing class to the Samana Holistic Center in the future. She would like to make it an even bigger event and have a hair and makeup artist available so people could dress fully for the class.

Several other new programs will be coming to the center in the New Year. The center will soon be starting a book club which will benefit local high school students so they can learn yoga and meditation. The New Year will also bring a new juice bar caf located across from the center. The holistic center also offers custom skincare and biofield tuning, a sound therapy.

It's all in the hips: Belly dancing offers fun and fitness with core movements - The Times Herald

I see health-focused trends rising and gimmicks falling, Phillips says. This list is such an insight into what role fitness plays for society. It's not just about looking good, staying slim, getting fit and gaining muscle, as once pigeonholed, but now is viewed as a much broader approach to health.

Loading

"This year's trends indicate that we are looking to fitness to support mental health, community, connection, disease prevention and innovation.

The rise of wellness coaching, for example, which uses behavioural science and positive psychology to support physical and mental health, suggests a growing interest in how our mind and body work together, Phillips says.

EIM (exercise is medicine) is climbing too, along with exercise for older adults. These trends all have a strong health focus which is really encouraging to see.

Libby Babet, the founder of BUF Girls and former trainer on the Biggest Loser, is equally enthusiastic.

Usually when I look at the top 20 I do a bit of an eye-roll at a few fads or quick-fix trends, but this year everything in the top 20 is things I feel get real results, she says.

We're all a bit more clued in on health and fitness these days, society as a whole is more informed and more curious about what works.

I think this is because we're all a bit more clued in on health and fitness these days, society as a whole is more informed and more curious about what works.

The continued trend of wearable tech (it has been number one since 2016) reflects its continued innovation.

Wearable tech is just getting better and better, isn't it? Most devices aren't just clocking your energy spent or distance covered anymore, they're monitoring your health and wellbeing and really getting to know you and how your body is adapting. They've become a real guide, says Babet, who favours the Apple Watch.

Founder of Flow Athletic, Ben Lucas says a trend towards active transport is also driving the popularity of wearables.

People are doing more incidental exercise today (walking, cycling) and they like to have a benchmark to hit, Lucas says. Also the element of gamification (movement streaks, competing against friends) keeps consumers engaged.

Despite the technology trend, mobile exercise apps are on the decline. Lucas attributes this to the lack of accountability and impetus they provide to exercise.

It is so easy to register, download, sign up but it will just sit there on your phone if you dont open it and take the time to commit to the program, he says. [Its] the same reason that people have exercise equipment at home that goes unused, they are not missing a means to exercise, they are looking for motivation to get it done.

People still value the face-to-face connection gained through social fitness as well as the desire to exercise in a different location.

In that way I dont ever believe that group exercise and personal training will ever completely go out of fashion. Having the accountability to someone else and the inspiration from a group setting will help you commit and get results.

Phillips agrees that the social aspect is crucial for many people.

People still value the face-to-face connection gained through social fitness as well as the desire to exercise in a different location (be it outdoors or the gym), she says. I am a big believer in combining fitness with fun and friends, so to see group fitness still in the top three makes me smile. Jane Fonda was really onto something wasn't she!?

If you need help meeting your health and exercise goals, then a reliable fitness tracker might be the extra push you're looking for. In fact, results from a past Good Housekeeping survey found that 75% of people said using a fitness tracker helped improve their motivation to work out. But with so many different options on the market, it can be hard to figure out which one is right for you and your budget.

The experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute's Media and Tech Lab have tested and evaluated dozens of popular fitness trackers over the years in categories including ease of use, battery life, accuracy, comfort, and more. Our recommendation for the best overall fitness tracker is the Fitbit Versa 2. Across the board, Fitbits consistently come out on top in our tests, so it's no surprise that many of the brand's devices made the cut for this list of the best fitness trackers for women. The rest of our fitness tracker recommendations include new models from brands we've also tested and trust to be solid performers, along with a couple best-selling trackers with rave reviews on Amazon.

When shopping for fitness trackers and watches, our experts recommend looking for a few specific features. The best options will have a step counter, heart rate monitor, and a sleep tracker. It's also important to consider battery life, especially if you're the type of person who won't remember to charge your watch every night. If reading texts and getting notifications is also something you're looking for, make sure the tracker you choose has that capability (and a large enough screen!). Some people aren't interested in heart rate or text notifications, so a simpler tracker will suffice if you're just looking to burn more calories from walking.

These are the best fitness trackers and watches for women in 2020:

11 Best Fitness Trackers and Watches for Women in 2020 - GoodHousekeeping.com

Like many fitness professionals, celebrity trainer Luke Milton first fell in love with exercise on the playing field. Miltons career began as a professional rugby player in Australia. After retiring from rugby, Milton realized he needed a new outlet, so he founded Training Mate in Sydney, Australia, and quickly established himself as a leader in the fitness community, and a trainer on E!s Revenge Body. Milton says that a healthy lifestyle is a combination of physical, social and mental health, and he tells Thrive that one of the most important first steps on a fitness journey is finding a mate do it with you.

Here, Milton reveals how companionship and a positive inner dialogue can help you work towards your fitness goals, and enable you to enjoy the journey.

Thrive Global: What advice would you give someone to mentally reframe how they view working out?

Luke Milton: We have to retrain our brains and perception of exercise and working out. For far too long, the media has trained us to think that exercise is a punishment for making poor lifestyle decisions, when in fact, exercise and fitness is a reward that should be cherished and enjoyed. When we change our inner monologue and start saying statements like, I cant wait to go for a walk or a run, and constantly remind ourselves of the amazing feelings we have as a result of exercise, the quicker we can view it as a luxury and not a chore.

TG: What tips do you have for someone to incorporate movement into their day?

LM: Firstly, find a mate someone you can hold accountable and be accountable to. As human beings, we tend to let ourselves down before we let anyone else down. So find your mate and explore common interests. That could be golf, tennis, hiking, swimming whatever, just move your body consistently. If you, like millions of others, use the statement, Im just too busy, start taking your meetings as walking meetings. Get a standing desk or prepare for travel by selecting hotels with exercise centers.

TG: What tips would you give someone to motivate them to workout?

LM: Motivation can come from so many places. For this, I recommend having a positive vocabulary: always reinforcing the positives of exercise. Remind yourself how great you will feel and how accomplished youll feel during and after the workout. If you are externally motivated, look no further than your own home; it has been proven over and over again that consistent exercise helps you to achieve a healthy lifestyle, and keeps you more energetic for your kids, husband or wife, or your mates.

TG: Why dont fitness resolutions stick?

LM: I truly believe that most fitness resolutions dont stick because there isnt enough intrinsic motivation associated with them. Most resolutions state absolutes, as in, Im giving up drinking, or Im going to the gym every day, instead of, Im excited to move more, I cant wait to see my mate at tennis, etc. Success comes from small, consistent changes, not huge, scary plans that set you up for failure.

TG: When do fitness resolutions stick?

LM: Fitness resolutions work when we set small, consistent and attainable goals. When we make fitness a part of our lifestyle, it becomes just another thing we do, like brushing your teeth or taking out the trash. Its not about being perfect, its about being consistent.

How to Use Friendship to Reach Your Fitness Goals - Thrive Global

If you want to mentally reframe how you view fitness, start with small, attainable, and sustainable wins. Last year I committed to drink a glass of water every morning before eating or drinking anything else. It will help to rehydrate you after sleep and start you with a healthy habit first thing! I keep one by my bed to make it an easy reminder.

We all want real results, real fast but shift your focus to the inside too, not just the way you look. Find a workout that improves how you feel in your own skin. Do you feel strong, empowered, accomplished? That is a big motivation factor!

Relatives asking what they can get you for a holiday gift? Make it something that motivates you to move! A new sports bra? Sneakers? A package of classes to your favorite studio? Make it something you want to use and will support your health during and after the holidays!

Here are my top 3 tips for incorporating movement into your day:

1) Consistency is key! Make moving your body part of your routine every day. Cant make it to the gym? Take a walk. Do plank holds get your blood moving even for 15 min and your body and spirit will thank you!

2) Compound movements work head to toe for more calorie burning and faster results. Think lunges with light dumbbells or a resistance band. No dumbbells? Use soup cans!

3) Keep the weight light for long lean lines while you still get improved definition, calorie burn, and bone strengthening work! It doesnt have to be heavy to blast fat and create lean muscle.

Here are three sneaky ways to work in movement during daily activities:

My favorite one is while doing dishes! How many of us get that little tiny hole at the front lower edge of t shirts? Its from rubbing up/leaning on the sink!! To tone your core AND improve low back pain while doing dishes (washing bottles) at the sink heres my best advice:

Stuck at the desk? Place your feet flat on the floor with knees just in front of ankles and imprint the entire soles of your feet down think about the bones reaching through the floor as your muscles draw up like a pair of pants. Find that deep low belly connection and legs working while you type!

In line at Trader Joes? Place your feet with heels together and toes turned out. Without changing your height at all (this is how you can do it without stars from your shopping mates!) softly bend your knees. This activates a deep core connection because your body is reaching up as knees bend down in opposition. Tones booty, inner thighs, pelvic floor and belly!

Here are my tips for workout motivation:

Starting your day with your workout. Its easy to get wrapped up in the festivities and put your wellness on the back burner so make it your first priority before the rest of your day happens and youll be so glad you did!

Schedule your classes in advance. Naturally during the holiday season, studios tend to fill up faster! make sure you book in advance to save your spot & use it as motivation to get in & get it done!

Pilates in particular has a variety of mental benefits.

Pilates requires focus and attention to the present moment, and often uses lots visualization cues to help you find the best form. Being present in the room becomes a form of meditation without having to sit still and silent. You may notice yourself yawning in class sometimes this is due to your Central Nervous System (CNS) down training in class. We often have so much going on in our lives that taking time for a Pilates class helps us mentally and physically to re-center. One of the greatest rewards of this work is walking into your workout stressed and hunched forward and 45 minutes later walking out with a smile, standing tall and feeling amazing!

Why dont fitness resolutions stick?

I dont believe in resolutions at all! EVERY single day is a new day and an opportunity to establish a healthy habit. Dont wait for the calendar to tell you when to take care of yourself. If you start off strong but get off track by February 7th, start again! Every day is a new day!! Aiming for a specific weight? Nonsense. A scale = data and nothing more. Are you feeling strong and empowered and good in your own skin? Thats the goal! Is the food you ate today fueling a feeling of wellness? Did it have ingredients from nature that help you feel satisfied and strong? That is far more powerful and doable than any diet.

When do fitness resolutions stick?

1) Sustainability, do more than youre doing now and schedule your workouts into your calendar. Work at your level consistently 3 4x week if possible, and move on your non-Pilates days in a way that you love hike, bike, swim, walk etc.

2) Make every exercise a compound movement add props whenever offered like the ring, resistance band, ball, or weights.

Tampa to host a variety of sports and fitness deals this week - Hoodline

TAMPA, Fla. Tampa's first exercise training studio owned and operated by a trainer with autism is getting a brand new look.

Puzzle Piece Fitness is now Equally Fit. Owner and operator Mark Fleming says his business is here to stay; the personal exercise studio dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities will still operate at its same location on Race Track Road in Tampa, but the gym is getting a new, more inclusive logo.

"The goal of the rebranding is to have a logo and overall design that better reflects our mission and principles," said Fleming. "I want to make it clear that my fitness studio is a place where people of all abilities are welcome."

Fleming opened his groundbreaking gym in February, launching a media firestorm that spread throughout the country. Fleming appeared on numerous websites, blogs, web shows, local and regional TV news interviews, and was even profiled in an article by CNN.

Fleming attributes his success to his unique style of personal training, which focuses on improving the overall health of his clients.

"We do not consider this to be a typical disability kind of therapy," said Fleming. "Exercise is a therapy that everybody in life should participate in and is life long, thus there are no "graduation" achievement milestones. I also want to be a person that these individuals can turn to, so they can see they are not alone or helpless."

Living with autism gives Fleming a unique perspective on his clients' needs, helping him provide one-of-a-kind adaptive fitness training through his continually growing business.

Equally Fit will hold a One Year/Rebranding Celebration at 12651 Race Track Road on Saturday, January 18th, 2020 from 2:00-5:00 PM. You can learn more about the event and Fleming's fitness studio at https://www.facebook.com/equallyfittampa.
