Everybody and their brother in the fitness world are writing posts about the new year.  And everyone is ripping each other off, generating marginal content, and feeding cliches.  Not to mention the fact that the content for 2010 is exactly what everyone wrote in 2009, which is just like 2008, and 2007… etc.   Here is my send-up to all the lame post topics I’ve seen in the past four weeks…

#6 – “The Top Fitness Things I Learned in 2009″

My answer:  Nothing.  Seriously, there’s very little truly new in fitness.  The core principles have been around for decades and new discovery is very limited.

#5 – “My Fitness Predictions for 2010″

My answer:  Some people will get fatter.  Some people will lose fat.  Some people will gain muscle.  Some will lose muscle, thinking they are losing fat.  Overall, sadly, not much will statistically change in 2010.

#4 – “My New Year’s Resolution Is To Finally Get in Shape in 2010″

My answer:  Resolutions are not goals.  See this.

#3 – “Start Now To Work Off The Holiday Treats You Ate at the End Of 2009″

My answer:  You should have started working BEFORE Thanksgiving, and you should have limited your binge eating to only Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years (3 days, not the 3 weeks many of you took “off”).

#2 – “How To Get Motivated For 2010″

My answer:  If your motivation is only triggered by the calendar year incrementing to 2010, then you need some serious lessons in motivation.

#1 – “How To Make 2010 Your Best Year Ever!”

My answer:  Work hard.  Really hard.  Excellent fitness takes hard work (physically) and hard work (mental discipline).

So, what would YOU add?
