Here's what made headlines this year:

- Exercise Guidelines. New fitness guidelines were released by experts, and no longer is a short walk a few times a week sufficient for a healthy lifestyle. Now you should be getting 30 minutes of moderate activity five times a week, and you should be lifting weights as well.
