I have a wonderful personal trainer who I meet with 2 times per week. He is a really good trainer, really knows what he’s talking about, but most of all he is a really nice easy going guy. I’m not gay or anything like that, but i truly would like to get to know him a lot better, but he is 20 years older than I am. I plan on keeping him as my trainer for as long as I possibly can. I would like to get to know him better. Do you think around Christmas I should get him a card or a gift certificate or sometihng? Do you think there is chance for us to ever get to know one another. I would like to have him as my trainer and confidant or friend. I am slightly shy, but I am learning how to control that. Please give me advice, thanks.
Can anyone tell me the best way to become a personal trainer or something similar because I love fitness and I plan to keep fit all throughout my life.
I don’t know where to start because i’m on my last year of school and I haven’t really researched about it.
What inspired me was The Biggest Loser and various other things.
I was planning to become fit at the end of the year because I have to focus on my schooling because I want a good HSC.
Any suggestion’s would be great thanks.
I’ve been getting into fitness a lot lately such as weight lifting/body building. I just started college not to long ago and decided that I want a career as a personal trainer/fitness trainer. How is the best way about doing this? What is the best to major in? Also do they make good money like 50k or above. I know this is what I want to do but at the same time I want to earn a comfortable living. I plan to eventually open my own gym in the future after I graduate.
I am 16 years old 167cm tall and weight about 90kg i am happy with the way i am. Recently i have been feeling really run down normally i am a very upbeat hypo energetic person but in the past couple of weeks i just don’t seem to have the Energy to do anything. i went to see my Doctor and he suggested that i take up some kind of fitness plan and started keeping records of what i eat. Here’s the problem i have never kept track of what i ate or had a fitness plan i mean i do my normal sports class at school but actually taking the time out to do this seems like a nightmare to me. i know for some people this is easy but for me an exercising plan and keeping my life’s eating habits in a book just seems like a heel of allot of work… this is something that i am taking very serious i really want to do this to improve my health and my personal fitness if anyone has any tips or guidance’s please feel free to give me a yell thanx heaps in advance

Personal Fitness Question?

I liked Angela Lansbury’s Positive Moves, which was her personal plan for fitness and well being as well as a lot about her life.
I’ll face it- I am an obese American male. I am 18 years old, with a weight of 219 lbs, and standing at 5 ft. 8 inches. I was wondering what is a good daily workout plan, detailed please, and a good daily diet. I cannot do the running machine for long periods of time, do to weak knees, and my goal is to get to 210 lbs by the end of August(or a better goal, if suggested). Please include details, most people I ask simply say eat less and excercise, but I have no idea how to. Also, there is a fitness center less than a block away, but no personal fitness instructors. Thanks a lot!
