Here's 10 Ways to Get Thin in 2010

Having a New Year’s resolution of losing weight is a popular goal for many people. Here are 10 ways to shed those unwanted pounds throughout the year.

1. Make it happen – Staying physically fit and losing weight is a lifestyle change. It’s up to you, make the decision to transform you body into a healthy temple and finally do something that is good for YOU.
2. Throw away your scale – Don’t step on the scale for the first six weeks. Once you stick to your resolutions you will be you healthy – you will feel better – and when you look in the mirror you look better and have more confidence in YOU! This is SIMPLY NOT anything a scale can measure.
3. Plan, Plan, Plan – The old saying is true, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail "
4. Support - When you are trying to get more fit, it is very important to have family and friends supporting you along the way.
5. Keep only healthy food- in the house all the times and make sure you eat enough of it.
6. Take a multivitamin - the clear benefit of daily intake of multivitamins is to prevent vitamin/nutrient deficiency. It will also improve your mental and physical condition and well being.
7. Apple Cider Vinegar – Dr. Steven Gibb says “Apple Cider Vinegar is the icing on the cake. Everyone in the world should be drinking this on a daily basis!” There are many benefits to this wonder supplement, such as maintaining healthy skin, controlling weight and removing body sludge toxins.
8. Track your progress - keep track of your training routines to measure weight, rep, and set increases and always make sure that you are constantly reevaluating your fitness plan every 4-6 weeks.
9. Rest - Not getting enough sleep can dramatically affect your current and future health. If you are not getting enough rest, you will begin to notice it in a physical way. While there is no perfect number in terms of hours of sleep, eight hours should be your target each and every night.
10. Enroll in a group exercise class - Group Exercise can take many forms, such as aerobics classes, yoga classes, boxing instruction, spinning classes and boot camp. Group exercise is a great way to have a scheduled, supervised workout. It also adds the element of camaraderie and accountability.

If you're looking for a way to making 2010 your best year ever and if you’re committed to becoming successful in losing weight and looking great, then following these 10 simple steps is the answer.

4 great ways to put on the pounds

My tip this week is to not give up, remember reaching your fitness goal is a gradual process.

But if you DO decide to quit here are some great tips that will allow your body to become more sluggish and will allow you to pack on more pounds GUARANTEED!

1. Eat only process and fast foods - If you're truly serious about packing on some serious fat, you'll follow this rule faithfully. It is also a great way to spend lots of money too.

2. Get to bed as late as you can - This technique is a great way to make you so tired, that you won't feel like exercising.

3. Stay away from water - This tip will allow you to add to the overall toxic load on your system. Remember to use coffee, tea and soda so your metabolism will slow down.

4. Don't exercise at all - You want to watch as much TV as possible and do nothing at all. This is a great way to raise your blood pressure, give you a greater chance of a heart attack and it should allow you to live a more shorter and lazier life.

So that's it!

Follow just one or two of them for even a short time and you'll see a rapid softening of the waistline and a BIG gain in scale.

If you following all of them, you'll be stunned by your appearance in your mirror staring back at you within a month.

Give it a go!

ACE Announces Fitness for 2010

The following represents ACE's listing of the top fitness trends for 2010:

Cost-Conscious Workouts at Fitness Clubs and at Home: The impact of the economy continues to affect the choices of fitness enthusiasts and health clubs alike. Gyms will alter programming and training to better serve the needs of the cost-conscious member, while in- home workouts utilizing small, portable fitness equipment will be popular among individuals watching their budgets.

Group Training: Individuals will scale back on personal training sessions to take advantage of small-group training and group class participation as another way to save on expenses. Health clubs may alter some programs to better suit the needs of larger groups. Likewise, individuals may find that the group setting offers additional motivation and support of their fitness efforts.

Time-Efficient Workouts for the Time-Pressured American: Shorter yet higher- intensity workouts will be more appealing to those with busy schedules because they can reap significant fitness rewards with relatively minimal time investment. Boot-camp style workouts will continue to be one of the most popular of these trends in 2010, offering the ability to burn a sufficiently large number of calories while simultaneously improving muscular fitness. Circuit training will also be a time-efficient workout of choice due to its combined strength and endurance activities.

Exergaming: Exergames will continue to climb in popularity and be taken to the next level: fitness clubs. By integrating fitness-based video games into their programming, clubs will offer unique exercise sessions for game-lovers and those looking for variety within their workouts. Studies conducted by ACE on exergaming-type systems, including Nintendo's Wii Sports and Wii Fit and the PC-based Dancetown, offer insight into the true fitness benefits associated with these alternative fitness options.

Boomer-Specific Programs: Special fitness programming for aging adults will remain a strong trend next year. Growing numbers of boomers recognize the multitude of benefits that come along with regular exercise participation, from lowering blood pressure and cholesterol to maintaining one's functional independence and overall wellbeing.

Functional Training Workouts: Functional training workouts will increase in variety, including popular suspension training tools such as TRX. The portability and time- efficiency of these workouts will appeal to people looking to stay fit at home, the office, the gym or while traveling.

Health and Fitness Awareness: The importance of health and fitness is gaining greater awareness among commercial and governmental organizations. There will be a strong movement towards collaboration between these groups and health and fitness organizations throughout the New Year. These diverse groups will work together in the fight against physical inactivity and obesity.

Importance of Proper Professional Credentials: Health and fitness clubs are recognizing the need for, and the importance of, hiring trainers who hold high-quality, reputable professional credentials. NCCA-accredited fitness certification is fast becoming the recognized stamp of approval for credentialing quality in the fitness industry. ACE is among the few organizations to which the National Commission for Certifying Agencies grants this accreditation for certification programs.

Specialty Exercise Classes: Specialty classes such as ethnic dance, hooping, pole dancing and Zumba will remain popular due in part to the continued success of shows like Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance. Fusion-type classes will be popular among fitness enthusiasts that want to switch up their typical workout programs. Additionally, more gyms will offer unique group exercise programs and mind-body activities.

Fitness Training Tools: Technology is continuing to infiltrate the fitness world. The use of tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase in the coming year with more people looking to better gauge their progress by accessing and monitoring details of their fitness programs. Some popular examples of tracking gadgets include GoWear fit and Fitbit, while online tools such as TrainingPeaks software offer fitness programs and meal plans that people can access 24-7. Mobile applications are even bringing fitness on-the-go through iPhone applications and other downloadable programming.
