National Personal Trainer Day is an annual day of observance on January 2, when many people start working toward their New Year fitness resolutions. Personal trainers guide, motivate, and train you to exercise correctly. Without them, many injuries can happen due to bad form or incorrect use of the equipment, so they are a vital, often overlooked part of society. Personal trainers should get the credit they deserve for the great work they do.

New Year’s Dishonor List Day
What may seem like a joke to most is actually celebrated as New Year’s Dishonor List Day, at Lake Superior State University (L.S.S.U.), Michigan, on every January 1, New Year’s Day. What happens on this day is that a P.R. team in L.S.S.U. collect nominations of different words and phrases from all around the U.S., and then select the most overused ones, which are featured on the dishonored list and published on the school’s website for removal from the English Language. Words and phrases that, because of overuse, have become catchphrases are voted for removal by a panel from the University.
