I have compiled a list of some of the best blogs on predictions and trends for 2013 in the five topics I write about: Live Well, Love Deeply, Learn Continuously, Lead Courageously and Leave a Legacy. So, without further ado and sparkler fanfare, here we go…
Live Well:
Top 10 Fitness Trends for 2013 WebMD says, “Forget fancy fitness fads. Your body is the only equipment you need for one of the hottest fitness trends: body-weight workouts.”
Bonus (Here is your first FREEBIE for the year!): Health Trends 2013: What to Expect No one can know exactly what the year 2013 will bring. However, those who work in and monitor the health and fitness industry can make some good guesses. Colorful slide show accompanies the information.
Love Deeply:

Thanks for the listing, Steve! you’ve got some great blogs listed. I also like Leadership Freak & Great Leaders Serve for good leadership reading.
Thanks Andrea. Yes, I also like Leadership Freak. Dan’s posts are packed and insightful. I have not read much of Mark Miller but heard him speak on The Nines a couple years ago. Thanks for the reminder and suggestion.
