I only do cardio if I know I'm going to go over my calories for the day.

For example; If its friday and I know I'm going to go out and drink that night, I'll do 30-45 mins of cardio after my...

That puts you around 24 sets per workout with your current split. Adding more shouldn't be a problem. I Tend to keep mine in between 25 - 35 sets per workout.

Was that really necessary? He asked one question about HIIT and the rest was just any advice on keeping his career on track and anything else anyone may wish to impart.

There is absolutely no damn...

I only hope they don't try to blame you when the kid gets discharged at the end of training. To be fair he only needs to run an 11:57 1.5 mile for the air force but even if he makes it through...

You're absolutely right. It's frustrating to me because if I'm working with someone who isn't fit enough to do a circuit that means I can really only reasonably fit in 10 -14 sets in a thirty minute...

Since you are a brand new trainer, I recommend you read this post about what to do if you have never trained anyone before.

Great article thanks!

Well heck at least he had the good sense to ask first no?

Best of luck OP. Taxes suck either way and I don't think anyway can blame you for trying to keep as much of your money as possible.

If I had to guess it's probably because the top ones require you to have a degree. That's why I chose ACE.

Unfortunately it seems like I'm going to be stuck with circuit like training for those first few sessions. Circuit training will fit most of the usual clients that come through so its not much of an...

Hi everyone,

I'm taking my trainer certification in two weeks and almost immediately following that I'm going to be a trainer at my gym. I have been training people unofficially at my gym for a...

I'd say it depends on if the exercise was one she had planned for you or if you asked to specifically work on something and she had you do the exercise in response.

If she gave you the exercise...

No its not a gym policy. I work the desk and I help out some members while its slow or when I'm off. I figured it'd be a good chance to get my feet wet as far as training goes while I prepare to take...

Thanks for the input! I work at a gym and I do have a few people that I train unoffically right now. That's pretty much how I was going about it.

I just can't justify doing only core and balance...

Hey everyone,

I'm taking my ACE certification at the end of this month and as I'm reading through the material I can't help but wonder how many trainers actually bother putting new clients through...

I don't put alot of stock in any fat burners, because as said before, anything legal isn't going to help all that much. That being said I'm currently taking JYM shred. I take JYM because it actually...

I have the best success putting beginners on an Upper/Lower split with a rest day in between. I find it helps them get used to working out and doesn't overwhelm them with learning 9 different ways to...

Thanks! Good info. Time to put down the exercise science book and pick up the trainer manual.

Careful with the fruits its all sugars! Try switching to leafy green veggies!

What part of that is idiotic, its your basic cutting diet and its extremely well rounded. OP is trying to lose weight you know.

Hey buddy, congrats on taking the effort to change your life and feel better about yourself! I was fat all the way until I turned 19 and decided to join the army. I dropped from 325 pounds down to...
