I am thinking about becoming a fitness model. I love to workout. I just want to know what I have to do in order to become. My ultimate goal is to be on the cover of a magazine. How do I do that? Can you guys help me?|||you can THINK about becoming a fitness model all you want, but millions of other people are thinking of the same thing. if there were a secret weapon that would ensure you would become famous, everyone would be, so noone can really help you here. you have to not only have the body, but the face, the skin, the hair, the talent, the height and a TON of luck and connections to get any modeling job. you will also have to be a client of a well-known modeling agency, and they dont take just anyboy. anyway, male fitness models dont really become famous. i worked for a modeling agency and did some modeling a few years back, and i cant name one.|||Hard work and True Dedication.

What should a fitness center do if a 4 year old boy hits other kids in the daycare at the fitness center?
Step by step procedure.
How many warnings?
Because the one parent feels that child shouldn't even be in the daycare, but I think the fitness center should try to solve the problem without having to kick anybody out.
What do you think or suggest?
Thank you|||The fitness center should defer to the parent, tell the parent the behavior and give the parent a warning for what will happen if the behavior does not change....
If the parent gives permission for some sort of discipline then the worker should give one warning then remove the child from the others, make him stay by himself.
Before anything go to the parent.|||I would talk to the boy's parents, then let them know in no uncertain terms that if this happens again the boy will no longer be accepted. Other children must be made to feel safe.|||Give one warning and then go get the parent and see if they can solve the problem. If not they should be removed.|||I would set up a boxing ring and let them go at it!!!|||I think there should be ONE warning. If it happens again, call the parent to remove the child. Sorry, but I don't think other kids should be victimized by a 4 year old who is old enough to understand. If he can't even behave over the course of a couple of hours, the parent clearly has problems that you can't solve.

What is good reading material for fitness and diet?
I'm looking to become a health nut. I'd like to know what the proper reading material is for the straightforward science of diet and fitness. There's so much reading material, I don't know where to begin.|||You probably want to start by subscribing to one of the magazines aimed at health and fitness for men. SUbscribing means you get a monthly push, mental jolt call it whatever you want. The most popular in terms of sales is Men's Health, it's quite light hearted, almost a lads mag with muscles and dietary advice, you get plenty of small tips and it's easy to read. Second place goes to Men's Fitness, it's not so jaunty as MH but it does go into more detail, but it is a harder read.

The sooner your race, the lighter your breakfast, and dairy+danger if eaten too close to a race. make sure you have at least three hours before dairy.
one more note, if you want to run faster for 1.5 miles. you should run at least 1.5 miles consistently! and dont forget to stretch (20-30 secs per stretch)
Good luck!|||Run with your head in a fixed position. This saves so much energy. You could chip off at least 30 seconds with keeping your head straight forward and not bobbing around.

How do I start a fitness training camp?
My finace is starting up a fitness training company, there would be personal training and boot camps.

How much does a personal fitness instructor make and what are the chances of hire?
I'm thinking of becoming a personal fitness instructor. I myself have a trainer to help me get in shape. Since I won't be meeting with my trainer for the time being. What are some good schools to get certify, how much do they make yearly, and what are the chances of getting hired?|||are you looking to become a personal trainer or someone that teaches group fitness classes such as aerobics? if it's the latter don't expect to make much money at all but if you are wanting to become a personal trainer then i will say that the money can be very good depending on if you are.
if you are in the states a few organizations come to mind such as A.C.E which i think stands for American council on exercise. the I.S.S.A international sports sciences association and if you are up with me in canada Can fit pro is available with many others.
the most important thing you can do is go to as many gyms as you can just to ask them what organization they will accept a certification from but if you're not a good trainer in the gym then it doesn't matter where you got your course from. you simply have to know your stuff but most trainers fail because they themselves don't know proper form when working out and i have seen it from every gym i have been to and i have been in lots of gyms over the past 23 years.|||I'd say $25,000 to $50,000 ballpark.
Less if you do it part time, more if you become the personal trainer to the stars and/or the rich and not so famous, and get your own studio, make your own videos, get on Oprah...
Like an actor could make $200 walking in the background or 20 millions being Johnny Depp.
Certification would depend where you are. It varies for each state (in the US), and for each countries. Some states, you learn CPR and how to use a defibrillator and take a two weeks class and you’re done. Others, you need years of college. Some organizations will let you pass the exam without even studying for it…if you believe that you have enough personal experience in fitness, so the educational program is sometimes not even mandatory.
In the U.S, the five best personal fitness instructor certification programs are the American Council on Exercise (ACE), the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
Make sure you get the certification for where you live. One of my friends is a lawyer but she went to law school in New-York. Now, she cannot practice law, because she’s not living in New-York anymore. Another of my friend was a surgeon in Switzerland. Then she moved to Paris, France and could not even be a doctor there. She became THE paramedic who could surgically remove a body entangled in a wheel of a subway train (when people either kill themselves or got pushed).
Personal training is a growing business, the more people are subjected to the fast food/processed food industry, while having jobs with no physical activity, and the more they need to get in better shape.
The only problem is that personal training is a profession where it needs to be your vocation if you want to be any good.
Like doctors…do you do it because of the money or because you want to save lives…those are two different doctors. The first one, not very good, s/he sees a problem, s/he just refers you to a specialist. That one will play golf on Fridays and have a trophy wife/husband and a big house; the second one, the good dedicated, efficient one, will work at the free clinic or go to foreign devastated countries around the world.
So, whatever the certification, you have good personal trainers and bad ones. Good ones motivate you and you get results in an enjoyable way, bad ones gives you pain, shame, make you feel inadequate and you don’t get good satisfying results.
A bad one could injure his/her clients so sometimes clubs are reluctant to hire anybody because they would get the end of any lawsuits. It’s like I can’t even get a massage anywhere because clubs, fitness centers and even medical facilities got rid of them…what if a client sues because the massage therapist did an improper gesture or just because the client did not feel better or s/he experienced any pain??? Or what if a client is not happy because the massage therapist DID NOT do an improper gesture (hello, guys?).
Personal fitness training is like massages…you’re one on one and it’s a personal, close, intimate relationship based on trust. With massages, you have to allow a complete stranger to touch your body, while you close your eyes, listen to soothing music and let go of all your stress and tension.
There is no witness nurse to make sure everything is good and nobody is suing anybody, unlike those witness nurses who are always in the room when you get a pelvic exam (if you’re a woman). I’m French and there is no “witness nurse” there and I can tell you that they are needed. A man gynecologist with magic fingers could take advantage of you and you cannot even sue the bastard because it felt so good.
How come you “won’t be meeting with your personal trainer for the time being”??? I’m hoping s/he’s on vacation and it’s not about money or fear of lawsuits or s/he’s no longer in the club/medical center.
I guess being a fitness instructor is like being a hairdresser or a French (or any language) teacher. You would pay $10 for a haircut by a hairdresser working for some company, but if the hairdresser is an artist, you’ll be willing to pay $100 to go to her/his house or s/he comes to your house and you get the best haircut (it’s still nowhere near $1,000 haircut on rodeo drive).
Most of it is “word of mouth”. If you get the best haircut, everybody will want to know about your hairdresser.
If you get the best body, everybody will want to know about your personal trainer.

What type of a fitness program should I start if I wanted to start firefighting?
Our community is short on volunteer firefighters so I'm applying. I'm already in pretty good shape but I can always do better. Any advice or recommendations on what a good fitness program would be? How would P90X be?|||p90x gets great reviews, check them out:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i鈥?/a>
You'll also want some adjustable dumbbells to go along with the program (don't forget the chin-up bar):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i鈥?/a>
Alternatively you can buy individual dumbbells, which is my personal preference. I like rubber coated HEX dumbbells the best:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i鈥?/a>
You'll want this p90x chin/pull up bar (that's door mounted, you might want to search for wall mounted):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ARN鈥?/a>
or a 'tower':
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i鈥?/a>
You might also want to get pushup bars, I personally use this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ECZ鈥?/a>
although it's pricey compared to others, so any of these will work fine:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i鈥?/a>
I also suggest resistance bands, I suggest ripcords brand as they don't break on you (I had to go to the emergency room once because I was using bad ones from a gym, and it snapped and nearly broke my hand by slinging itself):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i鈥?/a>
Get the 5 set or 6 set (don't get it with the DVD).
And lastly, you should have a good recovery drink. I prefer this one myself over the p90x specific one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001FS鈥?/a>
ps, if you don't want to put on too much muscle, use light weights (I suggest getting all 5 sets):

I also suggest resistance bands, I suggest ripcords brand as they don't break on you (I had to go to the emergency room once because I was using bad ones from a gym, and it snapped and nearly broke my hand by slinging itself):

Get the 5 set or 6 set (don't get it with the DVD).
And lastly, you should have a good recovery drink. I prefer this one myself over the p90x specific one:

What is a good fitness bar to eat after a workout?
My workout routine usually consists of running 1.5 miles and doing different types of weight training. I wanting to lose 10-12 pounds that I have put on after entering college, but this has been a very hard task for me thus far. So...I'm looking for a good fitness bar to eat after I workout to help me with my weight loss process. Thanks for any advice.|||Askmen.com recommends Cliff bars. There are multiple varieties, including high-protein (although what you need most for recovery are carbs to restore muscle glycogen).

Askmen.com also rates chocolate milk as the #1 recovery food, if taken soon after the conclusion of the workout.
As for me, I stick to a homemade shake with water and soy milk, protein powder, fruit, raw cocoa, brewer's yeast, and flax meal.|||I agree with this user. Cliff bars are a great way to go. They even have other options other than bars and they actually taste pretty good.

How important is physical fitness to a good sex life?
I think it's very important because of flexibility and stamina. It's one of the many benefits to fitness.|||Well it is incredibly important, I mean if you are out of breath 5 minutes in....not so good. Plus for over weight men the shaft of the penis can be covered up by excess belly fat. A man gains 1/2 inch in "size" for every 35 lbs he loses!
Another plus to being fit is that stronger core muscles equal bigger orgasms for both men and women. An orgasm is just a muscle spasm, stronger muscles mean bigger spasms! ;)
Diet is very important is well. A major cause of low libido is a zinc deficiency!|||Candlelight dinners, sweet gifts, and soft music are some things people do to initiate intimate relations. But can exercise work just as well and contribute to a healthy sex life? According to the American Council on Exercise it can. Heating your sex life can be accomplished through maintaining a good exercise regimen improving sexual function in both men and women. Exercise is not only a physical but mental activity much like sex is. Exercise can enhanced sexuality because of the benefits gained in muscle strength, endurance, and cardiovascular functioning. Increased performance of blood flow and increased levels of testosterone levels all lead to a robust and energetic sex life. Studies published in the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality conclude that people who regularly exercise have a better perception of themselves, and are more confident in their physical abilities, and find themselves more sexually attractive which all add to feelings of competency in love making. They also experience higher levels of satisfaction or may feel more sexually desirable to the opposite sex.

-First of all, you need a combination of cardiovascular exercise and strength training. One or the other will not cut it.
-If you do not want to bulk up but just tone your body, you need to do 12-15 reps per set when you are going your strength training. The lighter weights will tone you.
-The most immediate answer would be to see if your gym has circuit training. This is a section of the gym where you do the '30-minute' workout, moving from one machine to the other to get a total body body workout.
-Combine this with a cardio program where you use different machines each day (elliptical, stairmaster, treadmill) and mix up your cardio between steady-state cardio (going the same speed for a longer amount of time) with interval training (which features short bursts of high-intensity training).|||there are routines that will make you lose weight and will not make you bulk.. i hope this helps

What is a good fitness dvd for loosing weight?
I want to loose about 20 pounds in 1 month. I am very lazy and I would like to get a fitness dvd that is helpful but you don't have to work as hard. Unlike the Jillian Michael's dvd. Thankyou very much.|||pretty much if you want to lose weight and do it the healthy way, you can't be lazy. i know its hard to start getting motivated, but what kinds of things have you tried? and why cant you get motivated?
things that help motivated are working out with a friend, switching up your exercises and workout programs and activities so it doesnt get monotonous and boring.
i always try to get my friend to go running with me and he's so lazy! but he hates it because it's not fun and its boring. so, he happens to LOVE racquetball, so we play that for up to 3 hours some days.
dont feel bad about not wanting to bust you *** for hours a day because most people dont want to do that.
but you really are going to have to challenge yourself a little if you want to lose weight. make it fun and be creative and hopefully that will help.
like the person above, Jillian Michaels is GREAT!!! her stuff is definitely hard but do it with someone else. her dvd "30 day shred" is awesome. its only 20 minutes long but its hard and definitely pays off. also, tae bo is great too. if you like dancing, find a dancing dvd that will burn calories. good luck and hopefully this helps.|||Jilian Michael's Cardio Kick Box (it's on youtube). This dvd comes in a set and it is really good too. But pretty much anything with Jilian Michaels in it, will help you lose weight.\

What fitness exercises are beneficial for playing Squash?

What are some fitness workouts to do at home?
I am looking for some fitness workouts to do at home that dont require any equipment. I already do push ups, sit ups, elbow dips, crunches and a few others. Are there any other exercises i can do similar to those?|||Hmm, the ideal thing to do, providing you want to stay indoors, would be to get a pullup bar. I can't see how you'd get a balanced training program without including any pull exercise.
I suggest getting a pullup bar, and starting some form of strength training routine. You don't need weights for the upper body to get a strength workout, but for the lower body, once you master pistol squats for high reps (10-15) you're really going to want to add some resistance. For the upper body, I recommend starting with two different isometric exercises; one pull and one push. The pull exercise could be front lever progression, or back lever progression. For pushing, I'd only recommend planche progression. Perform sets of the neccessary progressions (Link at the end from where I follow my advice from ;)) for a total of 60 seconds, so if you can hold a tuck planche for 5 seconds, do 20 x 3 seconds.
I'd obviously recommend pistol squats, (Squats on one leg) since you don't want to lift heavy weight around. Build up to a good umber of them (I personally built up to 5 sets of 10 before moving on). However, once you can easily do those numbers, it's more endurance work and won't get you results as good, although it's definately not a bad thing to do. I'd suggest finding something to lift whilst doing them after that point :)
I'd also recommend including two "dynamic" exercises. For a beginner, pullups and proper dips are a good start. Once you master them, you can begin decreasing the leverage, without adding weight of course. You could progress from dips to one arm pushups, handstand pushups, or dare I say one arm handstand pushups if you train for long enough. For pullups, you could do uneven pullups (Assisting arm grabs a towel wrapped around the bar as low as possible), and once you get good at them at with your arm really low down, you could work one arm negatives, and eventually one arm pullups.
For optimum results, you want to be working on strength. Strength has a high translation over to endurance, so you won't lose any of the numbers you've built up with those easier exercises. Isometircs are straightforward; 60 seconds total hold per exercise for two exercises. For pistols and dynamic upper body stuff, you want to be working on 3-5 sets of 3-5 repetitions, apart from that I'd recommend building up to the aforementioned numbers for pistols first.
Crunches and sit-ups are quite useless exercises when it comes to working out. There's nothing more I really need to say. Pushups and elbow dips are a good start if you find them hard, but I'm sure you find them quite easy by now, so I'd definately give the exercises I suggested a go, to see if you like them :)
Finally, i'd like to say that I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to do, I'm merely giving some advice I've learnt that works best for me, and a lot of other people I know. If you don't enjoy working out like that, then find something you do enjoy! Exercise isn't something you should slave away at, it should be a constant adventure :) Personally, I hate exercising indoors because I find it boring, so I do my strength workout outside. I also explore the woods around my school, mountain bike, and swim. Find something you like, and go for it!

What is the difference between a fitness and bike and a road bike?
I am a regular mountain biker, but like to road-ride, too. However, my full-suspension is way too much drama for the pavement and even my hardtail is too heavy for efficient road travel. I want something lighter and better suited. The problem is, I am not super fond of the "feel" of road bikes. I saw that Trek (my fave) had "fitness" bikes and "urban" bikes and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what are the advantages/disadvantages to choosing a fitness or urban bike over a road bike?
THANKS! :)|||Okay, here goes, a Road bike is a race inspired design. It has you in an "attack" position the whole time regardless of how you place your hands on the bars. The frames are MUCH lighter than MTBs and the tires are much thinner as well (obvious). What is NOT completely obvious is the change in the riding position. The seatpost is higher and the stems/hb is positioned so that you are more erect but arched forward as well.
The hybrids, aka fitness bikes/urban bikes are basically a mixture of MTB and road bikes. They are using the geometry of MTB but the concepts/ideals of a road bike. The wheels on a hybrid are 700 cc which is similar to a road bike but the tire size is actually a little bit wider and thicker. (instead of 18-25, it is 32-38). The riding position is similar to that of a MTB with a little more relaxed feeling and not an attack position. The components actually go both ways. Some models have MTB components while some have Road bike components. That depends, however, on how high of a model you get. Some, also have carbon fiber distributed throughout the frame/fork while others are fully rigid. Sometimes you'll find a suspension seatpost but on "fitness" bikes it is usually a rigid fork. Weight wise, the hybrids range from 20-25lbs but are actually surprisingly fast. Trek, Giant, Specialized, Cannondale and a couple others all offer hybrids now.
Pros: hybrids are cheaper and have the same basic concept of getting from point A to point B quickly but comfortably but still a nice ride to work out with. The geometry is very similar to a MTB. Faster than MTB. Not much maintenance required if you take care of it.
Cons: Not as light as a road bike. Components can be cheapy if not purchasing a good model. Can be as expensive as road bikes if purchasing a good model.
I have both MTB's and Road bikes and I love both. I just love to ride regardless of what bike it is. However, there is a HUGE difference between the two. If you just want to get from point A to point B, I say get a hybrid. If you want a cardio work out and get HUGE legs, get a road bike. It took me a while to break down and buy a road bike. I owned only MTBs for years but decided to finally give it a shot after starting to work at a bike shop. I like both but nothing beats MTBs. Go to a dealer and try them both out, hybrids and road bikes. Ride it for a while and see if you can see yourself getting comfortable on a road bike. If not, your choice is pretty much made up. If so... well.... questions... questions... questions... and price... price...price. Good luck mate.|||What I call a fitness bike is stationary. A piece of gym equipment. Whether or not there is something else I do not know.|||Hey there. Go for a road bike for sure. It might not be as plush as a fitness bike but it will be fast and fun.

It is the kind of bike you will be being ridden in road races such as the Tour de France. A fitness bike is a bike designed to be ridden on the road, however with some of the comfort features (like a hybrid) built in. They have straight bars and a more relaxed geometry. Look at the Trek FX series of bikes for good examples of fitness bikes.
THANKS! :)|||Okay, here goes, a Road bike is a race inspired design. It has you in an "attack" position the whole time regardless of how you place your hands on the bars. The frames are MUCH lighter than MTBs and the tires are much thinner as well (obvious). What is NOT completely obvious is the change in the riding position. The seatpost is higher and the stems/hb is positioned so that you are more erect but arched forward as well.
The hybrids, aka fitness bikes/urban bikes are basically a mixture of MTB and road bikes. They are using the geometry of MTB but the concepts/ideals of a road bike. The wheels on a hybrid are 700 cc which is similar to a road bike but the tire size is actually a little bit wider and thicker. (instead of 18-25, it is 32-38). The riding position is similar to that of a MTB with a little more relaxed feeling and not an attack position. The components actually go both ways. Some models have MTB components while some have Road bike components. That depends, however, on how high of a model you get. Some, also have carbon fiber distributed throughout the frame/fork while others are fully rigid. Sometimes you'll find a suspension seatpost but on "fitness" bikes it is usually a rigid fork. Weight wise, the hybrids range from 20-25lbs but are actually surprisingly fast. Trek, Giant, Specialized, Cannondale and a couple others all offer hybrids now.
Pros: hybrids are cheaper and have the same basic concept of getting from point A to point B quickly but comfortably but still a nice ride to work out with. The geometry is very similar to a MTB. Faster than MTB. Not much maintenance required if you take care of it.
Cons: Not as light as a road bike. Components can be cheapy if not purchasing a good model. Can be as expensive as road bikes if purchasing a good model.
I have both MTB's and Road bikes and I love both. I just love to ride regardless of what bike it is. However, there is a HUGE difference between the two. If you just want to get from point A to point B, I say get a hybrid. If you want a cardio work out and get HUGE legs, get a road bike. It took me a while to break down and buy a road bike. I owned only MTBs for years but decided to finally give it a shot after starting to work at a bike shop. I like both but nothing beats MTBs. Go to a dealer and try them both out, hybrids and road bikes. Ride it for a while and see if you can see yourself getting comfortable on a road bike. If not, your choice is pretty much made up. If so... well.... questions... questions... questions... and price... price...price. Good luck mate.|||What I call a fitness bike is stationary. A piece of gym equipment. Whether or not there is something else I do not know.|||Hey there. Go for a road bike for sure. It might not be as plush as a fitness bike but it will be fast and fun.

What is your vision of a fitness program?
I am a coordinator for a university and was just given permission to start my own fitness program. It can be for anyone, students, community, staff. I wanted to know ideas of things people would want in a fitness program. How can I make the best one possible. Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.|||You've got a wide range of ages and types, not to mention whether you want both sexes in your group. What type of program do you want? Since you are the one leading it, where do you want this to go? How physical do you want it to be? What level of intensity do you see this program being? You may need to have two or three programs at different days. Do you want weights or resistance machines, cardio only or a mix of both? What's your budget? What can you do? How big is your facility?
Check out local exercise programs already in the area, like the local Curves or Jazzercise places. Locate and talk to some independent gym owners. Get ideas and then do an impromptu survey to see what your clientele would like and how much time they have to do it per day. Then, get your results together and do that. You may not be successful right away but you will catch on and go from there.
Also, you may want to check out the U.S. Army and other military branches. Bases have very transient groups but have workout programs for enlisted personnel and their dependents. I understand that over the last few years they have become very user friendly and very duplicatable.
I hope this helps. Good Luck.|||Hi there, this is funny. I just went onto the internet to help my son with his assignment for school. He is also developing a fitness and diet plan. To answer your question, as a non motivated person who really needs to push herself to do a little exercise. Keep it simple.

You can design a program which favours one of the three components but try to incorporate all of them. A simple program for beginers might be pushups, squats or lunges (bodyweight), followed by cardio, step class, spinning etc, followed by stretching, ab work.|||Watching someone on TV work out, like the commericals trying to sell you the ab roller or bow flex.

2.another important factor of a fitness program is strength training.so it would be nice to include 2-3 sessions of total body strength training for as long as 45 minutes per week ( never in the row though , make it one day thn off then another session thn off n so on ) .
3.now comes flexibility which is very important for a fitness program.examples are yoga , pilates , tai chi etc.
4.Including circuit training might as well be an effective choice for a fitness program.
5.Stretching for 5-7 minutes before AND after every workout ( whether it's cardio or strength training or yoga or whatever ) .Warming up and cooling down are the main factors of a fitness program so that should never be neglected.
All these things should be incorporated with healthy eating.and there you have it.A fitness program , best for all.

I might suggest that you shoot a couple of short videos and post them on you tube.
You might choose a fitness product and make a short commercial for it so that people in the industry can see you, watch how you present yourself, speak etc.

How to make a career out of Nutrition and Fitness?
I would like to make more of a career out of Nutrition and Fitness, but am unsure of a good path. I would like formal training/certification, but not necessarily a 4-year degree since I'm in my late 20s and work full time now.
If I become a nutritionist, I don't focus as much on fitness. If I become a personal trainer/instructor, I don't get the training in proper diet. Any suggestions on what career or certification would be a good mix of nutrition and fitness?|||As far as I know, neither Nutritionist nor personal trainer are protected terms, so all you need to do is make up business cards and you are in business.
However to be at the top of the heap, becoming a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist should be your ultimate goal.

The only thing I am taking in High School now is Food for Fitness and Food and Nutrition. What other things do I have to take to become a future Fitness Trainer.|||You'll need to be an experienced athlete yourself (which you probably are, with all the athletic activities you are doing) and you will need to take some courses after you finish high school.
You will need the following:
1. AFAA (Aerobics and fitness association of America)
2. NSCA ( National strength and conditioning association)
3. ACE ( American council on exercise)
4. NASM ( American college of sports medicine)
5. A degree from a post secondary institution in one or more of ( Physiology, exercise science, kinesiology, physical education, sports medicine, fitness management.)
6. Experience (two years normally)
I got the answer from my source below.|||It really depends at what level you want to train. If you are looking to work at a gym or personal training studio, you just need to be certified through one of a number of academies like NASM or ACSM once you turn 18. In the mean time, if your school offers anatomy take it. A good science background will be very helpful.
If you are looking to train athletes at the high school or collegiate level, or go into research you are going to want to go the college and major in something like Kinesiology or Exercise Science. Regardless, I would strongly recommend getting a college degree.
Hope this helps!

How much should a fitness trainer charge and do you need any certificates?
I want to become a fitness trainer but I'm a bodybuilder so I focus more on heavy weights low reps. Can you become a fitness trainer just for building muscle only? I don't do cardio at all!!! and do you need some sort of certification to become a fitness trainer becuase I've been bodybuilding for 3 years and know the different muscle groups and the machines. And how much should a fitness trainer charge I hear they get paid well.|||Although there is no law requiring certification, you need a national certification in order to get insurance and/or work for a reputable gym. A national cert is once like ACSM, CSCS, ACE, NSPA. Generally, a nationally recognized body where you must take a proctored, closed-book exam. I say that because there are a number of certifications out there that have take home tests or no test. Generally, they are a crock. Expect to spend between $400-1000 USD to get a good personal trainer cert.
As far as practice goes, it doesn't matter what your fitness regimine is, as long as you give clients a workout plan that is tailored to their needs. Generally, trainers charge between $40-100 per hour for their services. If you work at a gym, you will keep anywhere from 50-80% of what you take in. A full time trainer can make around $30,000 per year to start, if you are a good salesperson, and a well trained trainer. As you develop your business, and your reputation and education increases, you can expect to make more. If you reach a point where you can own your own business/training studio, you can make some decent money. But my advice is that you pursue personal training as a side job.|||For starting the career,it is not necessary but for better career everything should be fair and certified.
Thanks.|||it doesnt matter what type but you do need some type of store permit and an owner permit its good that you have experience thats required dont do anything to expensive. i would say no larger than 50 dollars if they want more add 10 more dollars

Fitness...?
i am a female in my mid teens and i want to get fit. i have access to a treadmill and an excercise bike. to give you an idea of my current fitness, i can run on the treadmill at 8 km/h for 20 minutes without getting too tired. please be specific.|||These are good cardio workouts to increase your fitness:
Boxing!, skipping, swimming, cycling, running, jumping jacks, walking everywhere instead of driving, climbing stairs etc.
Everyday maybe you should wake up, have breakfast, wait an hour then do a 20 minute run/jog on an incline on your treadmill. Then maybe every second day you could do a spin class or a boxing class. I seriously swear by boxing, it does wonders to the human body. You could mix up your routines by doing cycling one day, running another, skipping, etc.
You get the drift. Hope this is relevant.|||Hey, I would suggest you to try the P90X %26lt;a href="http://dragonzfitness.co鈥?Fitness Program%26lt;/a%26gt; Its one of the best programs out there... You don't need to go to the gym or anything and you don't need any treadmill. www.p90x.com Hope it helped... ;-)

Fitness ?
I have been chosen to go to a trial day for my netball. It is held a few days after school starts again, and because we have christmas coming up and i haven't done a sport over summer i was wondering if anyone knew ways to get my fitness level back up. I really want to get chosen for the teams so i would love any advice or information possible.
Thanks in advance :)
Love you all xxx|||start by doing some running or some other form of cardio but other things you may want to include are burpees or other forms of plyometric exercises http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/ply鈥?/a> for both upper and lower body. if you are aiming for GS or GA positions practice your shooting. if your on the wing or centre add in some sprints, GD or GK focus on jumping.|||I have always believe that training your muscles and exercise with education works best.

Eating doritos when you get home and then going biking doesnt do anything. Healthy food alwys works w/ exerci
