Hey! I'm currently training to be a PT, but have been training clients for the last 9m. I generally send out at least a few messages a week to clients to see how they are doing. If they seem to benefit I keep going and may even up the messages…if they seem to prefer just a session with me, that's fine too. I believe that…

Thanks for your ideas! @Athenasurrend: To be honest healthy is just healthy….I don't believe in cutting out food groups completely though I do get clients with various goals to change the amount they are having of certain food groups if that makes sense. In terms of recipes, we tend to use a traffic light system for meals…

Making my way down the list of messages so will hopefully be replying to you all soon!

Will accept your friend request so we can chat!

I will send you a PM about this. Adam

Crunches and sit ups are 2 exercises which people often do in order to try and get themselves the flat stomach. Unfortunately it's not as simple as that. In order to get a flat stomach, you need to lower your body fat because the fat lies above the muscle and covers it. Sit ups/ crunches and general ab exercises won't help…

Thank you all for all your comments etc. I am trying to make my way down the list and message everyone but it's taking me a while as lots of people have replied and mroe have PMd me! Will get to you all!

I reckon I'd be able to help with that :)

Thanks for your message. Will send you a message.

Have sent you a message trying to answer your question and will send you a friend request. If you have anymore questions PM me! :)

Good quality protein! Realistically this doesnt have to be every time you eat but whether you want to lose weight or gain weight its important your getting protein!

Stomach/Core/Ab exercises whatever you want to call them....most people hate them! But they are important! Some basic exercises: The plank - you need to be very careful with your technique, if you google or youtube you'll find videos showing you good form Basic crunches Reverse crunches Squats Have a look on youtube for…

With kids I would not wrry too much about there caloric intake. Just try to ensure they are getting a balanced diet, lots of fruit and veg where possible and not too much processed stuff. Ideally try and give them healthier snacks but I would never limit a certain food group for kids. By limiting things it can lead to them…

Seated boxing workout....if you have pads and someone you can punch at, otherwise grab some dumbells or whatever and air box???

Couldn't agree more! No one is too big to workout....yes things may need to be modified but that's it!

The steak and bacon is exactly what I'm talking about....some people think you cant have steak or chicken for breakfast...but why?

For strengthening your core< the 2 best thing are planks and squats. BUT good form is really important with both! :)

You can get a pretty good workout by doing a bodyweight circuit workout. So basically chose as many exercises as you want do them for a certain number of reps or set a timer cycle through them all without a break then take a break and do the circuit again. Some exercises you might want to include: squats, press/push ups,…

If youre a fan of chilli, a few drops of chilli sauce are a great addition.

Sorry forgot to ask you to message me if youre interested in getting involved, that way its a little more private! :)

How about tennis, women's rugby, swimming, join a gym, dance or fitness classes.

The oven doesn't have to e the only method to cook healthily! Do you have non-stick pan? You only really need 1. The non stick means you can really cut down/cut out oil! Have you hear of oil spray? It's great each spray is about a calorie! Or try olive oil but not too much So ideas depends on what you like. Chicken breast…

Really depends on your goal and current fitness level.

Variety is important! Ok not sure on you fitness level but I would say do some interval training. So spend 30secs working hard then recover 30 secs working at a lower intensity. Do this in any piece of CV equipment or outside. In the gym, grabs some dumbells and a Swiss ball and do a circuit of resistance training. Mix…

I'm not sure what rates for a personal trainer are where you are, I'm guessing the USA! But here PTs cost anything from £15-£200 per hour. The offer you mention may be a good deal, but it really depends on the level of knowledge the trainer had and what you are hoping to achieve. Half an hour is not very long for a…

It's quite difficult for you to lose fat and build no muscle at all. That losing fat is not just cardio! You need to eat well and also do Some strength training

Not really best placed to give fashion advice but I can say that black hides sweat quite well.

You've always got me for support and for a kick up the a***. But glad your are using the site to get support! Keep smiling!

Nope homework is just for you lot!

Stretching is not always essential effort working out but I think it's really important that you stretch when your finished. If you can stretch before a workout great but if not make sure you gently wanted up so that you prepare te body for your workout. As for your current soreness! Try googling hamstring stretches.…
