Let’s get fit, Yahoo! Answers!
Each January many people across the world make a similar New Year’s resolution: to lose weight, get fit, or get healthy. And each January, they start the year off right—with the best of intentions, and the best laid plans, but about a week in, they run into a road block: where do they go from here?
If you’re one of these people, Yahoo! Answers is here to help! We’ve enlisted the help of Joan Arico and Joanne Haggerty: two fitness pros from Plus One Health Management, Inc., who work with us here at Yahoo! Headquarters.
Over the next few days, you’ll have the opportunity to post your fitness related questions to the open question found here and Joan and Joanne will select a handful and answer them over the next few weeks. With your questions and their help, together we’ll help get the Yahoo! Answers community in shape for 2010!
Each week, we’ll feature one question on the blog, as well as health tips and tricks that will help you get in shape and meet your health goals for 2010.

Yep, most of those diets are great, but…..not the convenience of preparing dishes at work. What could be done to prepare dishes that are convenient to fix at work?
well the best thing is to eat veggys and fruit and a bottle of water .they have mixers at walmart you can buy if you do not like plain water……or a caffine free pop witch counts for a bottle of water since it has no caffine… and you can make up a salad and add the lowfat salad dressing in a small container to add on you salad ..that if you have a frig at work to keep your helth lunch cold .. hope this helps
People always get lazy when it comes to exercising especially for a long period of time.
