Mr. Lalanne was one of the first to introduce weight training into the lives of women...it simply wasn't done at the time...we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. Here are some of his amazing feats...thank you for the inspiration Jack!! 1956 Age 42: Set a world record of 1,033 pushups...

Get it done.

That is great news! I, too, changed careers as I simply had to. It's just that I see many come and go in the industry as they didn't quite understand just how much "business" came into the picture in order to make a decent living! Sounds like you have thought everything through and are...

I have found my NASM certification to be the best investment in the fitness industry. (National Association of Sports Medicine) It is an intensive course, but well worth the efforts as it is highly recognized to get you employment. Many people ask me if they think being a personal trainer...

Hi Carmen! Both AFAA and ACE are widely accepted and are great organizations to belong to. I agree with the encouragement that you have been receiving on this thread..you certainly can get certified with your background as a home exerciser. You will quickly learn that the certification...

So very true Cindi1...plus the dominant side can't "bully" the other by doing too much of the work...the least dominant side needs to "hold it's own" quite literally!! Dumbbells rock!

That is an awesome deal indeed!

Just finished up a session with a very fit 35 yr old....she easily could handle the swings with 25lbs...but needed lower than 15's for one arm para press; alternating renegade row from a plank; bottoms-up clean from the hang position; and for the windmill with kettlebell in hang position. She...

Yikes...it looks like the two most popular sizes were sold out when you shopped! Once you have the form down I think the 15 and 20 will be of great use to you...but I would start even a weight class lower to nail the new moves...especially windmills and stand ups (where the weight will be...

Love Kettlebells and they very well may be the trend of 2011...but from what I see and hear (and personally equally love)...TRX is hot on it's tails! At least we have something for everybody and every mood to chose from!! Happy 2011!

I have several clients who LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new system and are starting to see the numbers on their scale go South! They have renewed focus and enthusiasm as food choices make sense to them now...those elements can't be underestimated! Yahoo for zero point fruits!

Agreed...it is just too difficult to get everything you need each day from food alone...I cover my bases (with doc's blessing) with a multi-vitamin. They have been proven very safe and effective!

I can not speak highly enough of Netflix...plenty to chose from streaming and they are upgrading constantly! What a great deal for the price!!!

Hi there! Congratulations on your new fitness journey! I have a few quick questions for you...you mentioned that you have high blood pressure and heart palpitations and wrote about them in the present tense. Are you under medical care for those issues and if so where there any temporary...

Great suggestion about the plank...all movement originates from the core so it is especially important for us to keep it in tip top performance! One of my favorite moves to teach core and upper body strength is utilized with a stability ball. Kneel behind the ball place hands on top of...

http:/fb.me/NGHL8GwI Will be back on there after Pilates!

Hi Alisha, So sorry to hear that your Dad is dealing with this. Just yesterday one of my SilverSneakers clients came to class after a flare up of gout in her second toe...she, too, needed pain meds to get through it. In addition, she was told to keep the foot iced, elevated and to keep...

Generally speaking, I believe adequate rest, as part of a fitness routine, can sometimes underrated to the point of hindering your progress. Progressive overload training + adequate rest + good nutrition = optimal results. Any part of the equation that is out of balance can mean you...

I bet there's not one documented incident of men trying to shrink anything to turn us on (lol)...and aren't those XL Sumo Wrestlers sought after in some cultures?? Makes you go, hummm...

...came with a scale permanently set at 110 lbs, and a book on "How to Lose Weight." Cue the eating disorders and poor body image kids! BTW, if that version of Barbie was to scale she would have an 18 inch waist and be 35 lbs under weight. I think I will pass on getting this for a friend...
