    Where did you learn your fitness knowledge?

    Ooh great thread, and great answers! I like finding out about these things about people. Nosy, eh? :) My turning point was in 2001 when I had 'slimmed down' to about 320lb and wanted to do more exercise. Until then I just walked on the treadmill very slowly. So I asked a trainer at my gym to...
