If you have a New Year's resolution to switch up your exercise routine, you're not alone. Michelle Obama has her own fitness goals for 2014!

The (gloriously-gunned) Mrs. O turns 50 this week, and has her eyes set on the future--specifically, how to stay healthy when she's 70 or 80. She told People: "I'm seeing myself shift from weight-bearing stuff--even though that continues to be important--and the heavy cardio and running, to things like yoga that will keep me flexible," mostly "so that I'm not falling and breaking a hip one day."

OK, so I have two health resolutions: 1) to schedule (and actually keep) all of my scheduled doctors' appointments, and 2) go to bed early enough so that I don't decide to forgo my morning workout for sleep instead (the idea being that, this way, I'll get sleep and exercise). So far, so good!

But how are your health resolutions going? (P.S. Here are some good things to keep in mind with fitness goals!)
