First of all, WoofieNugget, don't be obtuse.

NASM doesn't really teach functional anatomy. It's more like "here's a lengthy series of pictures of muscles with the names underneath." It didn't help...

She doesn't need a belt - she needs to create the stability using her own abdominals. Using a belt will only allow her to push further past what her body can stabilize.

Squats, deadlifts and spinal hyperextensions are literally the worst things you could possibly be doing right now. During and after pregnancy, your anterior core goes to shiit. Literally. The baby...

First things first. You are SO OVERQUALIFIED it's not even funny. All that gyms want is to know that you a) have a certification, b) aren't a total moron (and even then they're willing to forgive...

Good point - a big commercial gym doesn't give a single fck how good of a trainer you are. They want to see you sell memberships and training packages. Hard sell? Doesn't matter, got commission....

I actually think that tipping would be more appropriate than giving a present in this case. Of course, I'm assuming that you're trying in good faith to give this trainer (who just so happens to be a...

Sometimes, folks with metal implants feel pain around the affected area. If your special lady friend hasn't ever complained about pain in the leg, I doubt it will start when lifting, but as with all...

You have to lean forward when you ride. Don't try to discourage that. Your spine should be flexed forward. Now, the question is, are you actively stabilizing your spine using your core muscles, or...

Gotta disagree with you there. It's not the entire posterior chain that's weak; OP's friend is probably super gripped in erector spinae, and if he goes to do something like an RDL or a good morning...

A couple thoughts:

First, some truly stupid people have managed to sneak into the physical therapy profession, and even more shockingly empty-headed people have gotten themselves into prestigious...

You're pretty clearly a troll, but in case anyone else is wondering:

The "growth plate" is called the epiphyseal plate (epiphysis meaning the end of a long bone). It's made of cartilage and it is...

4/5
Points deducted for hat


3.5/5
Impressive body, unfortunate face (could just be angle/expression though)


4.5/5
Face is a major asset! Appears fun and genuine. Tattoos neither add or...

I've been in your situation before. I worked for a gym that talked a big game about creating a culture of fitness, taking really good care of clients, achieving goals and promoting wellness... but...

Short answer: Two weeks isn't enough. You need to know what is actually injured and how it happened before you can fix it.

Probably not. I've been through a tib-fib fracture before, repaired surgically like yours; I couldn't run at all afterward due to being bedridden. I actually wound up having the rod taken out later...

Best answer ITT.

For an individual personal trainer, the best strategy is to find the people who are already convinced. The folks who know that they need a trainer, appreciate what a...

Desire, fantasy, excitement, nervousness = sometimes more fun than actual P in V

I certainly can't speak for everyone, but for me personally, the sexual tension is often more fun than the actual sex. Why? The same reason that the best horror movies only hint at the monster rather...

That's easy. The "core" is made up of tons of different muscles that give different ranges of motion. You should easily be able to come up with 30 minutes of moves from spinal flexion, lateral...

Don't compete on price. I'm a Stott Pilates instructor and I charge $100/hr for a private in-home session. No, I don't have a large roster full of clients - but that's because I don't need to....
