    Question on Personal Training Certification

    I am a presenter for NETA who does a weekend PT training. The biggest thing you should know about a weekend course is that you do not learn everything you need in the weekend. You actually need to spend quite a bit of time studying before the class. If you do not study before the class you...

    Best Way to buy P90X?

    I like to buy BB products over the phone. You need to be prepared for them to try and sell you every add on they could possibly think of. However, every time I have stuck it out and paid with one credit card payment they have always thrown in free videos. Now I don't know about you, but I...

    Bulimia

    I was hospitalized for my eating disorders 3 years ago. For the most part I no longer engage in the behaviors, but the thoughts are still there. Ultimately I found being hospitalized to be a very pivotal point for me as I saw how much and for how long the other women I was hospitalized with...

    Do you sing while working out with your ipod?

    I used to work at a gym and the desk was near the treadmills. I would hear people singing to their ipods almost every day. Most of them didn't realize they were singing and were horribly embarassed when they would realize they were singing out loud :o

    Does this annoy you?

    I am currently working with at risk youth as a personal trainer. This program is voluntary for the participants and theoretically only the interested people signed up. Since I am the largest of the trainers I took all of the larger girls so they wouldn't be intimidated by a tiny trainer. As...

    carpet help please!

    I have a puzzle mat from Greatmats and it has certainly done its job however...it is such a non-slip surface that your shoes "stick" to it when you are working out. Whenever the choreography gets interesting and there is any sort of turn or pivot your shoe stays in one place while the rest of...

    Need help please

    I have to say you all make me feel so much better. I have never been able to get down to what the BMI charts say is a "normal" weight. I am just too muscular and the only way to be a "normal" weight would be to lose all of my muscle by some really nasty combination of diet and not working out...

    72-year-old bodybuilder still going strong
