I was a personal trainer for 4 years before getting my bachelors in health and PE. Not everyone is the gym is fitness minded so you have to be ready for frustration and disappointment but for every person that you do get to assist with improving their life it makes it worth it---but sometimes they are few and far between.…

it comes easy when its right. if you aren't looking for a commitment than don't waste your time and energy on a casual relationship. it will always end in rejection for one party or the other.

I am with you there! That was how I was the better part of this year! In 2013 I lost 15 of the 20 I had gained with my son...then fell off! I knew I was gaining again, I hated looking at myself in the mirror or being intimate with my hubs. I spent $500 to do a 6 week summer slim down personal training program and worked my…

From experience with freeloading family members...your agreeing to provide a roof for them w/ or w/o them paying is a binding contract weather written or verbal. If you chose to 'evict' them you HAVE to give them writen notice 30 days prior to said 'eviction' date. Your best bet is to mail it to them at your address with a…

cardio is going to be your best bet. only thing squats, lunges and wt machines are gonna do is tone up those muscles underneath the fat bulging you out even more. Also steer clear of the elliptical for extended periods of time, its good to throw into the mix here and there but that bulks your legs too. Get on the bike or…

The elliptical is notorious for doing this. It is a good thing though....because the elliptical extensively tones your quads and glutes you may see that the pants are tighter in the thigh area but keep up the work the fat will gradually thin out and only the muscle will be left and those jeans will fit nicely.
