I am repeatedly dumbfounded by the fact that in a society as bright and well-informed as ours, that so few people seem to pay attention to valuable alternatives which are readily available to them to raise their personal health. It seems that a bulk of people are more interested in a quick fix in the form of a MD visit and prescriptions than in handling their own health process, and doing so in a way that is natural, predictable, and sustainable. That is what makes me treasure endeavors like yours to educate and prompt individuals to execute. I hope that through these endeavors, and others, that awareness increases speedily and the population at large turns back to a mindset of personalized wellness that doesn’t rely upon specialists and pills.

I would like to add training at home and metabolic resistance training to the list. Not only are people not wanting to spend money or time on the gym but mainstream are finally figuring out that long, slow cardio does not lead to fat loss and that metabolic resistance training can result in an afterburn that is almost 2 days long!
Cheers!

I like # 2. Hopefully we’ll see more people packing their lunches as well. #3 -I need to do more of this one, buy from the locals. #8 – I bought a total gym (IE. Chuck Norris) and am in love with using your own body weight as this machine does. #9 & #10. I think the sad part is a lot of people can’t afford to go more green, the poor will buy the cheaper products and most of that is white pastas, breads, fatty meats, etc… I do believe those who can afford to will go more green, but they may not be the majority.

Thanks SO much for your blogs – and insightfulness! I truly appreciate it. I may not “respond” often, but I always read your blog! And I’m always learning something from it!

A lot of things to think about in that list. I whole heartly agree with #8. More people should realize what can be done with just bodyweight exercises. Bodyweight and some dumbbells can do wonders.

I feel like I keep hearing more and more about “clean eating”, so, I agree that this will be a trend in 2010. It is something that interests me and that I would like to learn more about this year.

Locally, I feel like the Boot Camp phenomenon is taking hold, as more and more Boot Camps are popping up around town. Of course, there is only one Mohr Adventure Boot Camp, though:)

Loved this post so much I wrote my own blog post about it: http://fittobetried.wordpress.com/2009/12/17/whats-the-trend-for-2010/.

Thanks, Drs. Mohr, these are great insights. It’s helpful to consider the hows and whys behind trends instead of just going along with them. Fortunately, many of them are positive, I think.

I’d like to add a Louisville-specific trend: It’s seems like the endurance-athlete and fitness communities are growing by leaps and bounds with more/better local races and events popping up, such as Ironman. I love to see the parks and roads full of people, and am thankful the community seems to be increasingly fitness minded.

I liked points 2, 7 and 9. Having recently burning the oil at both end of the candle I am finally looking forward to eating more home cooked or self prepared mels to drop 20 -30lbs I picked up in the last six months.

I’ve actually started as Head Trainer (which involves sales) with a company that trains people in their homes. Gone are the excuses that the gym isn’t open when they need it (we work from 5:30 am to 9 pm!) or that it’s too far, or the weather is too bad – those are the trainers’ problems, and they are like the mail: no matter what the conditions, the mail will be delivered Even the cost isn’t as high as a gym membership, and another advantage is that procrastination will have to be done by phone – they have to call and cancel 24 hours in advance with a good excuse/reason
