NASM v. ACE?
I have a new goal. I want to become both a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Fitness Nutritionist. I'd prefer to just take courses to become certified rather than go back to school.

C25K Success!
I began the C25K program in April of this year.

I did a round of physical therapy which did not help at all. After about 2 years, a cortisone…

Looking for lifting advise.
Dang-it. advice, not advise... Hey, all! A little background. I am a 5'1" female and 170 lbs. I'm looking to lose about 38lbs (my goal is by Christmas but that's neither here nor there). The weight loss aspect is on hold as I'm getting married in about a month and can't lose any more inches without needing my dress altered…
