Thank you everyone...yes we do indeed have work to do draw attention to the HFCS in our food...it is just horrible for us! I'm a firm believer (both kinds..lol) that we do better when we know better... and it just takes getting the message out as many times as needed to drive the issue home...

Thanks Sandra...this has been a roller coaster of a day! Many, many people have read my article and have filled my inbox with questions on how they too can control their weight! I think I will be up late getting to all of them but how exciting! Your quote is indeed inspiring as is your...

I reflect on this sad anniversary with a post on my blog regarding complications from obesity and diabetes type II. We need to drastically change the direction our country is going in with regards to our health...the cost is just too high. As you all are fitness enthusiasts, I ask that you...

Thanks for sharing...can't wait to get my hands on this one!! :D

Sunshine1528 hit the nail on the head!! Rest when you need it especially when under the weather...get back up if you fall off the fitness wagon and don't look back! Plenty of peeps are in the same boat...heads up and move on!

So sorry to hear of your tumble...yikes! For Sprains and Strains I usually go with R.I.C.E...or rest, ice, compression and elevation...with a big emphasis on REST as the body needs time to heal. Frustrating in the short term I know but hang in there. However, if you have more than a sprain or...

I personally am not a huge fan of the adjustable weights as it takes time to make the changes and therefore you may lose the flow of the workout. I am a firm believer in pyramiding up or down the weight scale as your strength increases..or to go lighter on a recovery day! I highly recommend a...

Hi and welcome to the Fitness Industry! I clearly remember being in your shoes as I prepared to become a Personal Trainer myself...know the hard work will pay off if you stick with it! Here are a few things I recommend... Take as many classes as you can and observe what you see...I know...

I hear, and see, this all the time from my over forty clients...the scale sometimes just won't budge. What do I recommend?? Weights, weights, and more weights...they are indeed the closest thing we have to the fountain of youth...strength training is imperative to buring those calories...

Great suggestions for getting the right fit for our feet which often solves the issue right there. Recently, two of my personal training clients were found to be a little low on Vitamin B12 during their last physicals and were given remedies for this by their physicians...which cleared up...

Some very good suggestions/feedback here. The caliper method can give accurate results if it is admisinstered properly and consistenly so try to have the same fitness professional do both repeats and followups if you can. That said, many of my clients are raving about the Bod Pod...but are...

Perform Better is one of the best resources out there and I agree the dark ones are stronger than the white and hold up better in the long run. BTW, I sometimes have my personal training clients lie lengthwise (head and neck fully supported) on the foam roller with their feet at the end of it...

Congratulations!! This is my first day here on the forums and I just came across your entry and one on Foam Rolling that really peaked my interest! As a running coach I can tell you many of the suggestions here are right on target...I think after this 10k you may want to join a womens...

I love, love, love foam rolling! I am a Master Trainer at New York Sports Club where I also lead a running group and FR is just part of what we do!! It has made a huge difference in my own body tightness and I have seen it work wonders for my clients. Yes, it can take a little getting used...
