2010 is here!

Finally, the worst decade in my lifetime is over. It's a perfect time to refocus and challenge ourselves to achieve our best physical state. That way we can have the energy to accomplish what we need to do in other areas of our lives.

Personally, I'm overcoming a knee injury, a torn meniscus suffered from a basketball injury from the end of summer. I've been feeling better with a steady dose of glucosamine supplements, which help rebuild cartilage health. The knees have been holding up even with exercises like squats and dead-lifts, a great sign. The injury taught me caution and the value of warming up and I vow to return stronger and quicker, even as I get older.

My friend Jason has found salvation studying Brazilian jiujitsu with the renowned Gracie family here in New York. He's stoked on his training, which involves just a gym and mats and, of course, training from the best experts.

It's an oft repeated theme at Wiserhealth, but it cannot be stressed enough: Find a physical activity you love and embrace it. I've been digging the stronglifts.com program.

My single New Year's resolution is to eat more vegetables and so far it's been easy by adding frozen vegetables to the mix and embracing salads. Shore up your weak points this year.

Let's charge into this new decade with fire.
