The advice here is sound; train her like you would train a client. I interviewed in the same fashion. In my case, the manager gave me difference scenarios. For example, "I am a 30 year old guy that...

I always use the assisted pull-up machine. Over time I lower the counterweight until they are doing them on their own.

EDIT: If you don't have the machine you can use bands to assist regular pulls

In addition, since you are 14 years old, you need to explain where you are at physiologically. Are you a 14 year that can grow a full beard or are you a 14 year old that doesn't have leg hair yet?

I was having shoulder pain and traditional medicine couldn't help me. I went to a Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) therapist and the pain went away. The power lifters in my gym also swear by MAT.

That are all about the same in quality and price.

If you have a cert, go with the insurance provider your cert endorses (you'll probably get the best price). I personally use Sports and Fitness...

If you look on the first page of this forum... about a dozen posts or so down, you'll see a thread that already talks about NPTI.

The problem you are going to run into is the policy that no employees are allowed to exchange money at work. This is a very common corporate policy. Technically, selling girl scout cookies is in...

I guess there is no way to know what people though back in the day... unless you read history books and stuff. What was the Boston tea party about? It wasn't about saying no to taxes. It was about...
