The start of a new year is the perfect time to to embark on a new health and fitness regime - and industry experts predict these will be the most popular trends for the months ahead.
British nutrition, exercise and wellness experts have revealed how the rise of plant-based diets and flexible fitness apps are shaping the landscape - and rowing is replacing spinning to become 2019's 'must-do' exercise.
Here, a team of experts give FEMAIL the lowdown on the hottest new health and fitness trends to try in 2019...
Yoga with a view: FLYLDN is a yoga and Pilates studio which uses backdrops of mountains and beach landscapes, which promises to help transport customers during their workouts
Immersive workouts
Yoga is great for the body and mind, but not when all you can think about is work and your never-ending to-do list.
So yogis will welcome the new generation of 'immersive' workouts set alongside spine-tingling playlists and videos of breath-taking Himalayan mountain ranges and crashing ocean swells.
Fly LDN, in London's Aldgate, have adopted this in their studio, while ChromaYoga in Shoreditch also use different colours in their studios to help clients 're-balance' their moods.
'Studies have shown that viewers watching recorded natural scenes reported an increased sense of well-being, calm and optimism,' said Charlotte Cox, founder of Fly LDN.
'More and more of us are living fast paced lifestyles, constantly connected and overloaded with information that makes it hard to switch off.
'Our immersive studio helps you block that out get the most out of your workout both mentally and physically.'
If yoga isn't your thing then Les Mills' new immersive spinning classes called the Trip could be right up your street. The 40-minute cycling workout, available at gyms all over the world, takes you on a virtual journey through digitally-created worlds.

Plant burgers
'With a boom in veganism, there is an increase in the demand and availability for plant based options – from protein powders and delicious snacks to milk substitutes and meat alternatives, there’s lots of vegan-friendly alternatives to choose from on our high streets,' said Dr Hazel Wallace, the founder of The Food Medic.
'We now not only have a greater variety of better tasting veggie burgers, we also have burgers made entirely from plants which actually bleed and taste like their meat based alternative.
'The Impossible burger was created by a group of scientists, farmers and chefs who wanted to create a burger which is 100 per cent plant based but has the same appearance, texture, aroma, flavour and even sizzle of a beef burger,' says Wallace.
'Their core ingredients include wheat protein, coconut oil and potato protein, but their secret ingredient is heme (or haem) which gives beef its pink-red colour and meaty taste.'
Gyms like F45 and Core Collective gyms are integrating them in their HIIT based classes, while rowing specific gyms like the Engine Room (pictured) are also popping up
Rowing is back
It may have been all about spinning for the last few years but rowing is now having its time back in the spotlight. Gyms like F45 and Core Collective gyms are integrating them in their HIIT based classes, while rowing specific gyms like the Engine Room are also popping up.
Thomas Fitzgerald, head PT at F45 Ravenscourt Park said: 'The benefits of rowing are unquestionable. There aren't many forms of exercise that act as a low impact total body workout that dramatically improves weight loss as well as muscle and joint mobility.
'It's importance has been recognised across a wide array of sporting disciplines to improve cardio conditioning and VO2 max ranging from rowing itself to cycling, mixed martial arts and bodybuilding.'
Gym hopping and live workouts
Instead of forking out a monthly fee for the privilege of attending the same mediocre gym, new 'gym-hopping' apps like Esquared and MINDBODY mean you can buy discounted class packages, and take advantage of live streamed workouts from apps like FIIT.
'The obvious benefits of hopping between studios are the increased exposure to new styles and approaches to fitness training and techniques,' said Lydia Cardona, content specialist at MINDBODY.
'You'll also get fresh perspectives on your strengths and weaknesses from new instructors and a broader network of people to connect and socialise with.'
While Hazel Wallace recommends live streaming your workout with apps like FiiT, saying: 'These classes mean that people won’t have to leave their front room to get a workout in.
'Gone are the days of wandering round the gym clueless, or googling every exercise from a workout guide that you’ve downloaded from the net, because now you can live stream a personal trainer right into your living room.'

Eating waste
Wallace has seen a growing trend in Brits taking note of food waste: 'Around a third of all food produced is lost or wasted. This is not just a social or humanitarian concern — it’s an environmental one.
'Global food loss and waste is responsible for about 8 per cent of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by humans.
'There’s huge pressure on governments and companies to find ways to reduce our detrimental impact on the environment, and one easy, tangible way we can all help is through reducing the food that we waste.
'We are seeing a rise in the number of zero waste chefs, restaurants, and cookbooks, and this is not simply “nose-to-tail” dining but literally - eat everything, waste nothing.'
Dr. Hazel Wallace has teamed up with Boots UK on their Little Boosts campaign this January, to help support the nation in achieving their wellness goals this year
Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
