2010- make it your year!

Whenever a new year starts, everyone makes up their New Year's resolution. Fat loss and/or muscle gain are often on top of the list. With that comes a slew of new diets, workouts to get your your body 2000, 2001....2010. I find that topic extremely boring and out of place.
Here is a new approach: don't get out of shape! Why would anyone only want to look good from May to September? (granted, in the freezing NY winter that can seem like a valid question at times). Instead of relying on random numbers on your calendar, check yourself every 6 weeks.
Take a good look into the mirror, and go over your basic lifts: squats, dead lifts, incline bench, pull ups and so.
An honest friend with a digital camera and a workout out log can work wonders here.
If you are not leaner/bigger/stronger, you must shift through what you are doing and make the necessary changes.
Staying on track all year long makes working out much more rewarding, plus it is easier to fend off two pounds of fat than 20.
So the resolution for 2010 is: no more resolutions, just look great year round!
till next time
