Fitness fusion is pretty much the fitness industry's way of beating boredom when it comes to exercise. No more 3 sets of this exercise and 2 sets of that. No more running for an hour and lifting weights the next day. No more separation of cardio and strength or even stretching and core work.
Now, we're combining things, sometimes in crazy ways.
Forget riding on a stationary bike for an hour--why not try Cycle Karaoke or trying weight training while you're on a treadmill?
