Much of what’s anticipated to win hearts and body in 2015 has been around for a while, but some of the following trends may play an even bigger role in your fitness routine this year.

By Danielle Douglas-Gabriel

f you’re sporting a heart-rate monitor while bang- ing out your last set of push-ups in a class of three people, you’re on the cutting edge of fitness. I Even if you just manage to do one of those you’ll be on trend for 2015, a year that trainers say will be defined by a return to basic exercises and the continued integration of technology. We’re not about to say goodbye to CrossFit or high- intensity interval training, the pop stars of 2014. But health experts expect people to gravitate toward work- outs they can do anywhere and look for ways to judge their performance this year. So much of what’s anticipated to blow up in 2015 has been around for a while, but some of the following trends may play an even bigger role in your fitness routine this year:

Gym class hero Remember all of the pull-ups, sit-ups and push-ups you did in high school gym class? Those exercises that made up the Presidential Fitness Test (which I failed as a child) remain the foundation of effective workouts, said Walter Thompson, a professor of kinesiology and health at Georgia State University.

had a cabbage issue as a kid. When my mother would cook it — boil the life out of it, really — the kitchen filled with that pungent smell, and it was one of the very few things I truly refused to eat. She would make stuffed cabbage, filling the little rolls with a meat-and-rice combination, nestling them in a nice tomato sauce, and I would beg her to make at least a few of them naked, without the cabbage wrapper — or, better yet, to make stuffed peppers instead. She relented. These days, I’m a brassica hound, lov- ing all members of the cabbage family: kale, collards and Brussels sprouts, too. But they’re not the only greens in my rotation. Especially because it’s so easy to grow in my little front-yard garden, I’ve become increasingly enamored of Swiss chard, which is related to beets, not cab- bage, and has a milder taste than any of the brassicas, not to mention a more Grains and greens tender texture, akin to a cross between spinach and kale.

Could you suggest some trustworthy sources for downloading software? I wanted to batch resize some photos and after a search chose the site at the top of the search results, CNet’s Download.com, which I assumed was legit. It isn’t. I unclicked most of the toolbar and search engine things they wanted to install, but evidently not thoroughly enough. I don’t mind paying for freeware if I can be sure it is clean. Unfortunately, very few people pay for small Windows programs and utilities, and the decline in advertising revenues has driven an explosion in adware and even malware bundling. Companies that may be struggling to survive have the chance to make, perhaps, 10 cents to $1.50 or more per crap- ware installation. If they have thousands of down- loads per day, it’s very hard to resist.

HYPER SUDOKU How to play Kakuro: The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
