    To take every individual on there on exercise journey and get them to their goals , remember fitness and the gym is not a hobby it's a lifestyle

    My advice to you is to just join threads and start answering questions. That's going to build or destroy your reputation. Just offering to help people shows nothing of your certifications or if you are full of *kitten*. We find many trainers jump in to offer help and it's garbage.

    Good luck!

    Sometimes fitness is a hobby, especially if you don't go to the gym.

    would you call an achievement a client who tells you that you taught them well enough for them to do this gym thing on there own?

    Going to the gym is my hobby.

    It is. Lifting is my hobby and so is bodybuilding. Many outdoors active people view their fitness activities as hobbies instead of lifestyles.

    Legit question

    I have started strength training and have limited time. I am rehabbing from knee surgery and spend about 45-60 daily on a bike for low impact cardio. I want to do some upper body work, but only have about 30-40 for a workout. What 3-4 lifts/exercises would you recommend for basic upper body strengthening? Or what would you recommend for a 30-40 min "workout A" and "workout B" for 3x/week? I do core exercises on "off" days.

    I recommend listing your qualifications, certifications, etc. in the "About Me" section of your profile page.

    Good advice. These threads normally end in tears. A few succeed, but the OPs tend to put effort in as to who they are, what they provide and then proceed to give personalised and sensible answers.


    PS dont be a know it all trainer without being able to back it up with informative answers.
    Dont assume there arent other knowledgeable people on this forum.
    Dont try and sell people stuff.

    I notice these "personal trainer" posts pop up every day. I suspect it's a form of spam or phishing. The commenters here apparently are good at smelling rats.

    Hello, I'm new here and have a problem. My body fat is 18% and want to lose belly fat. The app says my daily goal is 1200 calories but I hardly can do that. Always under the scale, especially I worked out five times a week. It's hard to reach 1200.My roommate told me the body stores fat if I can't reach the basic calories need... I am really worried... I love fruit, vegetables, yourgert,beef and salmon. I seldom eat dinner because I am not hungry at all. I really don't want to push myself eating. What should I do? Thanks very much!

    Put your stats into this calculator:
    http://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
    See the down arrow on the right end of the symbols under where it says "body fat category"?
    Click that.
    For women, 18% BF is considered athletic. So you're waaaay better than average there.
    You can't spot-lose fat. (Well, you can, but it's not statistically significant, or noticeable.)
    Where it goes on & where it comes off is almost entirely genetic.

    .
    The app says my daily goal is 1200 calories but I hardly can do that
    Your profile says you're a 21yo female. Unless you're REALLY short (under 5'), you should be eating more than 1200.
    Your profile says you want to lose 22 lb. A reasonable amount to lose would be 1 lb per month. I suspect you set
    your goal to lose 2 lb per week. Amiright?

    And if you're already at a healthy weight the loss will be even slower, if you can do it.

    .
    My roommate told me the body stores fat if I can't reach the basic calories need
    :confounded:
    No. No, no, no, no, no. :unamused::disappointed::angry:

    Your body needs energy (calories) to run.
    If it doesn't get that from you eating enough food, it will burn what's in your body.
    It prefers to burn glucose (blood sugar),
    then it prefers glycogen (stored carbs),
    then it prefers fat,
    and as a distant 4th it burns protein (muscle).
    (Yes, we're all burning all of those to some degree all the time, but that's where energy is pulled from.)

    It WILL NOT store ANY calories if you're eating less than you need to run your body.
    Only if you're eating more than you need to survive will it store calories.
    Read this. Read it several times. Save it to read again later, and to show to your roommate.

    .
    I really don't want to push myself eating. What should I do?
    If you don't want more volume, choose more calorie-dense foods.
    Full-fat yogurt, milk, cheese, for example.
    Nuts. Avocados.
