Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I love the incredibly honesty in this, a. That is the kind of attitude that will put you where you want to be, when you're ready to go there. Re: Met with my new client... I think when people get combative against trainers and others who offer genuine tasteful advice on how to get in shape etc...well they just aren't ready to loose the weight emotionally and are self-handicapping themselves. You see it in the gym, on the internet, at work...excuse making and blaming everyone but themselves for their own failures. No one, not even the world's best trainer can help you unless you are really ready to make a change.I struggle with my diet in this aspect. I think I'm not ready to put the work in to journaling. But I only have myself to blame and I need to do some intense thinking on the subject ;-)a > > > > > A good trainer would never ask you to do any exercise that wouldn't be safe for you. Good ones will ask you to fill out a detailed health information form that includes space to give them information about things like your feet and knees.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Chalene is so cute, I wouldn't mind looking like her! Then again, I wouldn't mind looking like any of the others you mention, Voight is amazing too. Interesting thought this all brings me too... when I was doing that meeting about fitness on the cheap Thursday, several of the ladies said they don't want to do exercise videos because their perception is that all the instructors and backgrounders are super fit, gorgeous and that they (the WW members) couldn't possibly do the workouts because they are overweight and far from super fit (let's put gorgeous aside). One of the other members, who has about 30 or 40 pounds to lose, said she'd been doing Turbo Jam (I'm not sure which one) and absolutely loved it. She also said she'd kept watching after the workout because there was going to be information on the cast members. She reported that several of them had lost 60, 70, etc. pounds doing TJ and that they were not slim & strong when they'd started at all but did it anyway and look where they are now. She made it clear those women were just like the women sitting in that room. She was so inspired by that and wanted to share it and I am so glad she did. I realized too that I don't think like that and don't know if I ever have. I've looked at people in videos (and still do) thinking, I want to look like that, if I keep this up and make sure my eating is fairly clean, I might be able to (and on good days I think I can). I was so glad they spoke up though because I needed to hear that view. It is extremely important for me to be aware that they think that way because that attitude can be such a road block. It is even more important that the other member spoke up and shared what she did because it is soooo much more powerful coming from her than me. Re: Met with my new client... I agree, ! I often pick up free sessions at the gym chain where I work and I've only had one out of about 5 that I felt were truly good. Noel, however, is excellent. He made sure I did the exercises properly, asked if I was in pain other than muscle discomfort, and really knows what he's talking about, has he is a professional bodybuilder and trains other bodybuilders who place in shows. If I can just look like a normal aerobics instructor I will be very happy! I don't need to look like Cathe or Jari, but maybe more like Voight or Chalene >> Give me a break, Jen. Of course not all are good. I wasn't saying that, I was just pointing out ways to know if you have a good one or not. If you choose not to use their services then don't but please don't put down a profession that does help a great many interested people.> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well, if you ever move this direction or I ever move in that one... it would be so much fun!!! I'm not surprised to hear your clients stick around, Darcy. You give so much of yourself here, I'm sure you're even more so in person! Re: Re: Met with my new client... Thanks , we would have an absolute blast!!!That is one thing for me. I don't get new clients very often, but the ones I have stick around for a long time Darcy On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 7:21 PM, <nancydewolfsbcglobal (DOT) net> wrote: I hope your clients stay easy to please and pleased with your services, I'm sure I would love to work with you!
