When you're slogging away at improving your fitness you want to be sure all that effort isn't wasted.
It seems there's a new way to get fit every day. Aerial suspension ran hot for a while, with people trying yoga or strength classes while suspended in reams of silks.
There are shake weights, rolling weights, or weights you can strap onto different parts of your body.
For those who fancy themselves a bit of a ballerina, barre classes have been popular for a while now.
I love a good gimmick, and if it gets me moving, all the better.
But under all the fads, I want to know what's actually working for people, and what the experts recommend as we head into 2018.
So I called Ish Cheyne, Head of Fitness for Les Mills.
He'd just returned from an international fitness conference, so was ready to tell us all about the fitness trends becoming more popular, the ones that are one their way out, and the difference between people who stick with the fitness habit and those who don't.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
