Fitness Trends of 2010
With New Year’s Eve solidly in the rearview mirror, it’s now the time of year where everyone is driving towards their New Year fitness goals.
For most folks, their fitness destination this year isn’t just losing a few pounds, experts agree. Rather, 2010 will see more peo-ple opting to make life altering, overall health and wellness plans instead of the “lose 20 pounds in four days” crash diets – though they’ll still be prevalent.
“The short term programs work, but they’re exactly that – short term,” said Matt Gibbons, managing partner of Armstrong Athletic Club in Gastonia. “The key is, it’s a lifestyle change. You have to change your lifestyle slowly to be successful.”
A lot of it is common sense, said local personal trainer and fitness professional Lamail Spain.
