And with predicted exercise trends for 2010 including cycling, triathlons and dance fitness classes, according to Zest magazine, there is something for everyone.

To help stick to a new 2010 exercise plan, top personal trainers have a few tips, reports the website mylocalhealth.com.

Fitness expert Allegra Feamster recommends people be specific in what they want to get out of a fitness programme.

"Instead of making a broad goal of wanting to get in shape, determine that you want to move down a pant size in thirty days or make it to the gym four times a week," she says.

Ms Feamster adds that the more you fine tune your objective, the easier it will be to craft a plan to get there.

Meanwhile, Nicki Anderson, head of Reality Fitness, suggests taking care not to overdo a new routine, as over-exercising could result in burnout or even injury.
