When it comes to personal training, some of us know just enough to be dangerous. Weight training is good, but it's a lot easier to read your magazine on the treadmill. And, of course, any device or DVD that promises to deliver iron abs in 10 minutes a day (or even 10 minutes every other day) will likely grab our attention. According to ABC News, however, personal fitness trends show that Americans have denounced quick-fix solutions in favor of

longer-term health and wellness changes. In fact, a recent poll conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) finds that Americans turn to experienced fitness professionals to achieve healthy life styles more than any other resource.

Poll results also put strength training and core training among Americans' top 10 choices for maintaining fitness, along with balance training, which includes yoga, tai chi and exercise balls. And wellness coaching climbed from its place at the bottom of last year's list to number 13 in the 2009 survey.

Obviously, trends come and go. But if Americans' current emphasis on physical fitness and health withstands the test of time, it could impact not only our lives but the wellness of the next generation.
