I'm looking to buy some home fitness equipment for our place in France and kettlebells, plyo balls, etc would be at the top of the list. Any ideas?|||A few options:
There are quite a few sports stores in malls in Geneva. The malls are:
Balexert (mall), Praille (mall), MPark and in Meyrin Shopping center next to Media Markt (in the same building with Pfster). All of these sell your standard equipment for working out.
Next you have downtown. Here I can only think of two: Manor (small but has a number of products) and Oschner on the Rue Bas.
If you want to save a penny, you can also check out these websites, which are the trusted websites for buying and selling used stuff in Switzerland:
www.anibis.ch
http://www.petitesannonces.ch/
www.ricardo.ch
The last one is 'like ebay' but ebay isnt as popular over here as it is elsewhere.
Last but not least you could try Amazon.fr That might sound loony but they just started FREE SHIPPING to Switzerland which has changed my life (for books anyway).
Hope that helps!|||I'd try looking online; Ebay for instance. Just watch out for shipping charges. The heavier the package, the more the shipping charges. Of course, not all online stores charge for shipping, so look around.

How do you keep up with your fitness routine?
I want to lose some weight in the area from my hips to my waist. Whenever i've tried to do so before, I always forget untill the most unopertune times.. So I have two questions..
1. What should I do to lose this weight?
2. How do you remind yourself, and keep up your fitness routine?|||Watch what you eat and do your cardio absolutely first thing in the morning so nothing can interfere with the time you set aside to workout. The time you set aside to workout is an appointment you keep for yourself. DO NOT allow anything to interfere with it-just like a hair appointment-only better.|||well i always put my timer at the same time to do work outs and i also printed out a paper of my xcersice routine and taped it to a very visible wall in my room|||I do at when i find time|||get a fitness partner

What is the best way to regain fitness using a treadmill?
I have to get my fitness going again, and was wondering what is the best way using a treadmill. Like, should i do long periods of time on a lower speed, or high speeds for a shorter time? etc.|||Actually a bit of both. Start out by flat walking. Then go to inclined walking then to flat running to inclined running. Set the speeds so that you feel challenged. 20-40 minutes a day should really do it.
What does a measure of your cardiorespiratory endurance tell a fitness professional?
a. your aerobic fitness
b. what type of exercises you have been doing
c. your anaerobic fitness
d.how long you can sustain a weightlifting program|||the answer is A
measuring cardiorespiratory endurance simply means doing a test that measures the ability of your body to uptake and utilize oxygen (thus "aerobic")
its called cardiorespiratory because your respiratory system uptakes the oxygen (and exhales the CO2) and your cardiovascular system sends it to the muscles needing the oxygen.
one could argue that B is somewhat true since typically one can relate fitness to a particular type of exercise, but cardiorespiratory endurance can vary due to other factors and not necesarily how you exercise
D could also be somewhat true since theres usually a direct correlation between cardiorespiratory endurance and your ability to "sustain" a weightlifting program, although someone can have huge cardio fitness and not last long doing weights (for example a marathon runner)

What fitness excercises do you do in high school?
In going into grade 10th and we are required to take P.E. I'm a very un-fit girl. I don't do any sort of excercise which i know is bad. But, i'm wondering what type of fitness would you do and how often ? ex: mile long runs, beep tests.|||In my highschool Gym Class freshman year..... back in 07... we started off by jogging around the track.... we played tennis, badminton, we play baskettball, volleyball.... we had a pacer test... which basically was doing baskettball suicides in the gym.... and we swam...swimming.
If i wanted to own my own fitness gym what would i major in college?
Im in high school now but i wanted to start planning and getting ideas of what i want to do. I was thinking of starting up my own fitness gym and doing something with nutrition and dietetics. Any suggestions of what i should major in or what colleges would be the best choice? I live on the east coast now but i am open to going anywhere. California would be my first choice :)
thanks so much for your time this would really help!|||It depends on what exactly you want to do. If you intend to work at your gym as a trainer or nutrition counselor, you'll need to be qualified to do that. This would be kind of like having your own practice as a nutritionist or something, with enhanced facilities for your clients to work in. It would also probably have lower start-up costs since you could start smaller and maybe wouldn't have to hire many employees. However, if you wanted to expand you would eventually need to hire people.
If you want to own the business and run it, hiring other people to work directly with your customers, then you should make sure to take some classes in small business management or entrepreneurship, but you don't have to actually major in them unless you want to. As an entrepreneur, nobody is going to be judging you based on your major, it's not like you have to meet an employer's requirements. Just take all the courses that you think will teach you something valuable about either fitness or business, and major in whichever one you find most interesting.|||look for the best fitness schools. i go to Univeristy of La-Crosse in Wisconsin. its widely reconized around the Mid West as one of the best fitness schools so they have great fitness programs/ sports managment and physical education programs. and they have good buisness classes as well so alot of people i know will either double major in fitness and buisness or major in one and minor in the other. if your set on East Coast look around at the websites of what the colleges programs are all about.|||If you are planning to own and run a business, I advise that you take business courses. Take minors or classes on nutrition, etc. but unless you know how to actually run a business, the odds are against you making it work.

What are easy ways to get cardio fitness in 5 times a week or more?
What are easy ways to get cardio fitness in 5 times a week or more?|||It depends on what you mean by "easy." Whether it's easy or difficult is a matter of individual perspective. Some consider a half-mile walk onerous; others consider a ten-mile run exhilarating. Try to look at your exercise program as fun, not drudgery.
Let's look at some of the best ways to attain cardiovascular fitness. Swimming is terrific. It uses all the muscles of your body, and water's buoyancy helps prevent stress injuries to the ankles and knees.
Cross-country skiing is also great. If you don't live in an area that has snow, try a cross-country skiing machine.
Rope skipping fits the bill too. Nearly all top boxers use it to help them last the full twelve rounds of their fights. It is cheap, convenient, portable and extremely effective.
Bicycling is good for cardiovascular development, but only works the lower part of the body, and can be damaging to your back as you lean forward to cut down on wind resistance. I am a long-distance unicyclist, and we keep our backs straight during our runs. The advantage over bicyling is that by using your upper body for balance, it too gets an aerobic workout.
Aerobic dancing is also a terrific overall cardiovascular exercise. There is no reason to not have fun with this. Turn on your favorite music and take it at your own pace. You will find yourself naturally increasing that pace as you continue doing it regularly.
Please choose among the list for something that you can enjoy. As long as you have fun with something, you will continue doing it. Too many failed exercise programs can be traced to lack of having a good time with it.|||Try this http://61b5cl40x-0k6qmz57nev-9x0x.hop.clickbank.net/ ,you don`t want to be to easy ;))
