    (fitness) business ethics question

    Yes, you should definitely have a waiver worked up before you sign someone on as a client. Those are generally non-binding if someone actually decides to come after you, but it's a good reminder to the client that they are engaging in an activity where they might get hurt, blah blah blah...

    (fitness) business ethics question

    I see no issue with this at all. In fact, I would *not* mention that you *don't* have the PT cert, rather, I would simply list the certs you do have and leave it at that. The only think you might need to think about is personal insurance. You train someone. The suddenly have a back issue...

    Out of proportion, looking for suggestios

    I was going to suggest something similar - focus on glute isolation moves, with heavy weight, and see where that gets you. If all else fails, you can have some of mine. From a front on view, I look like a boy - no hips at all. From the side, it looks like I have a basketball jammed in my...

    Fifty Shades

    As early on as they are in their relationship? Hell yeah. I am 100% certain of that, and I'll leave it at that. :)

    Fitbit

    I got a FitBit for Mother's Day, and I love it, but my goals for it were to get me moving more throughout the day. I workout a LOT, but for the rest of the day M-F, I'm generally sitting at a desk all day, and I know that's not good. So I wanted something that would make me get up and take a...

    Workout Manager: Specific chapters from DVD's

    That's what I have been doing (selecting Core and then I just write in the note section exactly what I did), but it would be cool if the calendar could take the specific chapters to create your own premix, and then autocalculate the MET/calories, all that. Not that I care or follow that really...

    Workout Manager: Specific chapters from DVD's

    I'm just starting to use the Workout Manager to schedule and log workouts - I might really like it. But, I will often do just the core work from one of Cathe's DVD's. If it's not listed as a specific premix, is there any way to use the WM software to add specific chapters to the workout created...

    Negative attitude/comments regarding health & fitness

    Suzanne, just go for it!!!!! I am SURE that anyone would be flattered and thrilled to talk to someone else who is into fitness. Think about how insular we often feel we are, in a world where we are sometimes seen as "freaks" for our workout habits - it's great to get a comment from someone...

    Another book thread - Hmmm I wonder what Clare's reading?

    Oooooh - didn't even think to search for more by Jo Jo - back off to Amazon to pick up Peacock Emporium..... Multiple aspects of Last Letter mirror stuff in my life right now so it was particularly touching for me - maybe that's why I cried so much. That said, my sister cried as well so maybe...

    New Wen Scents - spoiler alert

    I've been using my new Pom for a few days now and absolutely LOVE it. It's not my favorite scent (it's lovely and I like it, but I just happen to **love** the seasonals), but it's my favorite as far as how my hair feels. Definitely going for the gallon size in this when they are offered next...

    Another book thread - Hmmm I wonder what Clare's reading?

    If you are looking for great literature or great writing, 50 Shades is NOT for you. However...... It's totally and completely addicting. Pure smut. It is essentially porn (no doubt about it, no subtlety, it's porn) with a fun character story wrapped around it so you can catch your breath for a...

    any healthy-ish prepkged frozen meals?

    I use Amy's burritos a LOT for lunches - I'll put them on a bed of baby spinach and other veggies I have around, add some salsa on top, and find that it's a GREAT meal. I haven't gotten into the other prepackaged meals they have - this works for me and I love it, so this is what I generally...

    New Wen Scents - spoiler alert

    I'm glad you mentioned what works for you and what doesn't, as it sounds like we have similar reactions to the "flavors." I just found a 16oz combo of Pom & Almond Mint, two I've been wanting to try but was worried they wouldn't work well - since they work for you, I'm hoping they'll work for...

    TapOutXT?

    This has been getting great reviews over on VF.

    Anyone live in Cleveland?

    I'm from Brecksville, which is just south of the city (about 10 miles south on Rt 77). It's still a great community with great schools. Easy commute to the city, but far enough out so you feel like you are in the 'burbs (if that's what you want). I have family and friends still there and visit...

    New Wen Scents - spoiler alert

    I ordered the spring scent earlier today - and now I can't wait for the summer scent!!!!!!!!! I still have a TON of both fall and winter (I buy 3 at a time), and love both of them.

    Thoughts on invisible fencing?

    I love that the breeder we selected actually cares what happens to the dogs they place! To me, it means they actually care and aren't in it for the money.

    Thoughts on invisible fencing?

    FWIW, the breeder where we got our dog had in the contract that we could NOT have an invisible fence.

    Is the "Perfect Pushup" worth it?

    I use mine a lot as well - they make push-ups much more comfortable, as I naturally do twist a bit apparently and this thing moves with me perfectly. I don't like doing push-ups without them anymore!

    Love my Vitamix and then I read this!!

    I agree - I read the article and had the same thought. Some days, a smoothie is all I want and all I have the time tolerance for. 3 meals a day? No, bad idea. Once in a while, or even once a day? Fine, especially if the rest of your diet is really good. I eat a TON of veggies, so I have no guilt...
