iFitness was mentioned above, but I am wondering which (if any) other apps might be good? I have searched but haven't seen anything that has made me want to click "buy."

I guess maybe I'm not independent but no one else has jumped in, but it depends who you train and what your specialty is.

For me, the summer is pretty dead -- especially from mid-July to maybe...

Another run-through! Workouts have been going OK. Tendonitis is better. So busy with work, though, and trying to get enough sleep. It's hard to feel like you can give your all to a workout when...

Tickling their ears is always good, especially during dumbbell chest press.

ha. I kid, but I've actually seen that happen. (shaking head, ruefully, at the behavior of some trainers.)

I count...

^^LOL^^

I would rent more space next to our gym so I could have my own small group training room, where I'd lock away all my cool toys so no one could use them unless they were part of the small...

I don't offer specials on my personal training sessions any more. :)

I used to, but then it always, pretty much without exception, backfired on me -- people see that you will discount yourself,...

Where do you live? I have taken some great courses at fitness seminars (like the MANIA conferences, which are held around the country -- they are geared toward group ex but there have personal...

FWIW, and it's not much, but after going through the whole cert/recert thing two times with two different certifying agencies, I let my certifications go. And NASM was the first one I gave up because...

Yep, this:



I work 530-730, take a half-hour break, then again from 8-10, then *I* work out, then lunch and a break, and it's back to work from 3 to 6 or 7 (I teach a class three nights a...

Business partnerships are tough. I know, I am in one. Le sigh.

I love the idea of having your own company in charge of providing PT services for the gyms, though. That way you're your own entity....

Before you hire a trainer:

meet him/her
watch how s/he interacts with clients
see how they train (preferably for longer than a few minutes) and
then talk to him/her and see if you click.

LOL. Sorry. I have been taken in a few times and didn't want to feel foolish again by spending time being overly helpful.

When I was starting out, I really liked the book Program Design for...

Yesterday afternoon I started feeling really cruddy but did a half-a$$ed back workout anyway, doing what I could with my elbow, then went home, took a nap, felt worse, took an Aleve, felt better (and...

In my experience, NASM will do anything it can to get as much of your money as absolutely possible. So probably, yes, you need to do the whole thing again. But call 'em and see.

Sometimes glutes are flat because of some postural/core issues -- those need to be addressed before the muscles fire properly. Not to stereotype, but to stereotype, think of some hairstylists you...

Decorum!!!!!! Sheesh!!!! :D Wow! Settle down!!!! LOL.

What she said:



I also would add weighted hip thrusts, but I would only post about it in the women's BBing section, not here. LOL.

Go...

1. The original poster's user name is teehee. :) I failed to notice this first go-around.

2. We provided good info.

3. The original poster then more advice on designing a program. Or do they?...

why don't you call and ask?

Another dash through my journal!

Yesterday I wrote a long post and then like a numb nut I lost it. Doh!

Diet is on. Started posing practice this week. Am cautiously optimistic about my legs....

Haha just saw your user name. Funny. I think you should start her on heavy deadlifts.
