i have books on front of me for online fitness and nutrition classes. my dream is to be acsm certified. but how can that be when I am battling my own weight demons????

I was in the gym a few months back and the trainer employed by the gym remarked to a client...."i cant be fat I am a personal trainer" gosh thats not nice to say when you are training a client and also when thats my dream and you just pissed on my parade.... I wanted to compete in fitness comps, but I have excess skin from my initial 100 pound weight loss......

ok...lets do this whole u support me I support you thingy,,,,,

thx

Well i have two thoughts about that. One, it is important to represent health as a trainer and so being a trainer I hold myself to a certain standard. I must always be putting forth and effort to better myself and live a healthy life.

However...trainers are humans, and even the healthiest humans have their ups and downs. I went through a year and a half of very hard health problems. My weight fluctuated, i lost muscle and I wasnt in as good as shape as I "should" be. But my clients appreciated that I always did my best and never talked down about myself. My clients appreciate that I am a human...not a robot...and I was in the best shape i could be in for that period of my life.

So...anyway, all im saying is...being a fitness trainer is about teaching people how to be healthy and treat your body well...its not about teaching people to be perfect, demanding and intolerant of anything less than perfection.

well I can say this.....she does not look like a trainer and she should not make those comments. I can out lift her daily and she knows that and admits it. I dont know how she got certified. She is flabby and I have watched her work out....its pitiful. Maybe where she got her cert. does not require much out of the person. I have watched her train and its not all that great.....it makes me wonder if she really has certification.

Oh well......I do have a question for you as this is a great debate in two gyms I worked out in and as well as with some gym rats I know.....

cardio before or after weight training?????? I was trained to do it before weights....so as to raise my heart rate and keep it up.....

pls advise

What a GREAT debate. I often discuss this with my fellow trainers.

Im on this cardio throughout the workout kick right now.

Keeping your heart rate up will burn more calories....so i figure short bursts of VERY intense cardio throughout the entire workout may have a great effect on fat burn.

So for example, right now I start my workout with a brisk 3 min walk just to warm up. I then sprint on the treadmill for 6 min and then run at a steady pace for 4 min. Then I go to half of my weight training for that day. Then I get on the elliptical and keep it at a very fast pace for another 10 min, increasing the resistance every 2 min. Then i go finish my weight training. I finish with another 10 min of cardio and my cool down. Stretch, roll out any knots, drink my post workout shake and off to the shower

We'll see what kind of result my new workout has for me

good grief.....

I have the one trainer (with the remark) saying cardio after weights to lower heart rate. Ummmm last I knew when I do cardio my heart rate is up unless I am walking at 1 mph.

My trainer I had last year and my spin instructor both say cardio before.

I wish I could run. Do you suggest trying it in the privacy of my own home on the treadmill before trying outdoors?? I feel very un coordinated....and my fat bounces and my new boobs....which I need super duty support as I am not wanting to effect their perk!!! lol thought about wrapping ace bandages around my bust to keep them very very still.

I wish I could afford a trainer again, but too costly for me. So I am referring to my books and trying it on my own and watching others in the gym.

have a good day

Wat do they do if you c an't pay for them, take them back? :laugh: Just joking. I didn't realize it was that much. How painful was it? My mother in law has had both done. I think when I reach my goal I would like to still be a D or maybe move up to a DD. What made you go to DDD? Do you have a close up picture.

You can do this :flowerforyou:

tabstattooed · August 2009

DDD is really not that big, its just really full. I have always been huge anyhow and I guess to avoid a major reduction we went with a fuller implant, they are silicone and I was medically approved for silicone as it was considered re-constructive. Silicone was not available for cosmestic reasons due to more research when they went off the market years back but in 2007 they got re-approved by the FDA and were avail for everyone not just medical necessity.

Did it hurt,......I have a high tolerance to pain, so no. I had them re-lifted in Nov of 08 and I was awake during that procedure, once they settled and healed they were lower than we wanted so he lifted them in office, I was on valium and lortab. Took a couple hours and I was home.

If you saw my DDD's you would not know they are that size or fake or silicone. They bounce when I move they are not stripper boobs where they are round at the top as they are under my muscle.. I can wear medium sized tops unless it is way fitted or a bathing suit top then I go xl.
