What is your goals as a personal trainer? Job related not your fitness0
-
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 lifestyle0

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!0 -

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.0 -
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.0

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!0 -
He was here to help now he is gone. Probably realized how nonsense his post was0

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 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
No. No, no, no, no, no.
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?
Full-fat yogurt, milk, cheese, for example.
Nuts. Avocados.
