Money, or the lack of it, changes everything, and that includes how people will be working out in 2010.
In these belt-tightening times 1 , cost-conscious workouts（锻炼）at home and at the gym topped the list of fitness trends for this year in a survey, followed 2 by shorter, more time-efficient regimens, such as 3 boot camp（强力集中训练） and circuit training.
"People are looking 4 for ways to accomplish as much as possible with as little 5 time and money as necessary," said Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise (ACE), which conducted the online poll of fitness professionals.
"Last year money was on the list but this 6 year the majority of the respondents put 7 it as one of the top," he added.
Bryant said some 600 ACE-certified fitness 8 professionals responded to the annual poll 9 , which the non-profit organization has been conducting for a decade.
Other money-saving measures 10 , such as the shift from personal training sessions to small group training 11 classes and in-home workouts 12 using smaller, more portable equipment, also made the list.
"Personal trainers are seeing they've got to respond to market needs 13 . Working with two to four clients at a 14 time they can charge less 15 but still get their hourly fee," Bryant said.
Boot-camp workouts and circuit training, both of which burn 16 calories while building strength and endurance（持久性）, will be among the most popular trends in 2010, as time-constrained（受压制的） consumers 17 seek shorter, more intense activities.
One bright spot is the rise of exergaming-type systems, like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Wii Fit and the PC-based Dancetown. Bryant says the fitness-based video games are turning up 18 in health clubs and senior centers.
Functional training workouts, which are geared to improving the quality of life and the ability to perform everyday tasks, will remain strong 19 , and the use of computerized tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase 20 in the coming year.

If it’s possible to see red(get angry) about not seeing red, that is what I was doing. We had 26 the timing of our autumn trip to see the changing 27 in the Great Lakes States, and I was really 28 . No matter how I strained my eyes I couldn’t spot red anywhere. Not 29 a bit of golden yellow broke through the dull greenery.

I remembered spending hours discussing what I’d 37 . A baby’s smile? A stone shining with fool’s gold? Pictures in the clouds, or tulips tipping their heads? I found so many beautiful things that it was 38 to pick just one.
Now, on the road, I played Mother’s game again. I took in the all-green 39 . Thick forests lined both sides of the highway. The long hill pines and spruce were seen 40 . Maple leaves danced in the gentle wind. I felt like a little girl again— 41 by beautiful things.
Later in the 42 , after we crossed the Upper Peninsula and drove into Canada, I found the bright 43 plants I had been looking for. But by then I’d already seen a million shades of __44 , the infinite variety and beauty that only our heavenly Father can 45 . And that we can always find—if we look closely enough.

I am 23 with the dear mother who is still allve．I appreciate her 24 each day．My mother does not 25 ，but I do． 26 I grow older and wiser．Irealize what a(n) 27 person she is．How sad that I alil 28 to speak thesewords in her presence，29 they flow easily from my pen．
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for giving her llfe I 30’ For the love，patience and just plain hard work that go into 3 l a child? For32 a toddler，for understanding a moody teenager，for tolerating a college student who thinks she knows 33？ For waiting for the day 34 a daughter realizes her mother really is？
How does a 35 wonlan thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother？For being ready with advice (when asked ) or 36 silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:”I 37you so ,”when she could have spoked these words dozens of 38 ?For being essentially herself-loving ,thoughtful. Patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how，dear God，except to bless her as richly as she 39 an
d to help me live up to the example she has set．I pray that 1 will look as good in the eyes of my 40 as my mother looks in mine．
