Best of 2007
Sports and Cardio Faves
We all play favorites when it comes to sports and it looks like soccer is FitSugar's readers' favorite sport to play. This is especially cool since a recent study found that soccer beats running in weight loss as well as fun. There's a great camaraderie that develops in team sports and all volleyball fans were a little offended that volleyball was not a choice.
And the Healthiest Celebrity of 2007 Is . . .
Despite the hefty competition, Jennifer Garner, claims the title of the healthiest celebrity of 2007. Even though you picked David Beckham as your favorite fit male and Jessica Biel as your favorite fit female, Garner definitely is the picture of good health. From constantly checking out the local farmers market, to doing weights with her trainer, to playing outside with her adorable daughter, she's one healthy mommy.
Favorite Celebrity Trainer: Jason Walsh
The year 2007 is officially over, but I need to tell you who won the FitSugar poll for fave celebrity trainer. Since Jessica Biel was voted favorite fit celebrity, it should come as no surprise that her trainer, Jason Walsh, was voted best celebrity trainer.
Jessica has gotten a lot of press for her fit bod and healthy lifestyle, but Walsh's impressive client list also includes Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, and Kate Beckinsale.

With so many different ways to get you heart rate up, I was curious about your favorite form of cardio. You all definitively chose running as your favorite form of exercise in general, over everything else.
Despite Controversy, Nike Is Best Brand of 2007
Despite some of us being upset by Nike's price tag and marketing choices, the majority of you voted Nike as your favorite brand of gear for 2007.
Along with Nike, we love our Lululemon, especially their pants, despite the high price tag. Despite who is your favorite brand of gear, I've highlighted lots of great workout clothes so be sure to check them all out here.
Beckham Is Your Favorite Fit Male of 2007!
David Beckham won your hearts as your favorite fit male celeb of 2007 by a landslide. From playing soccer to playing with his boys, it's no wonder this British hottie is super fit.
Another fit Brit, Daniel Craig, took second place.

24 Hour Best 2007
Whether it is a boutique gym or hotel gym, we all have our favorite gyms to head to.
You guys voted 24 Hour Fitness as the best gym of 2007. The YMCA was right up there, so it really was the battle of the large corporate gym versus the small community gym.
