I am having trouble deciding which role the trainer is playing when a client has canceled a session. He has sent them stories about other clients and their successes. Would this be considered nurturer or converstionalist?

Isn’t the 220 – age equation outdated?

Has anyone come up with some memory "tricks" to help remember all of the terminology and formulae we are responsible for when we take the personal trainer exam? I am most anxious about my ability to remember what I'll need to know on the day of the exam, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be...

As I go through the prep materials in the Distance Learning personal trainer prep, I often find myself a big panicked as I take the individual quizzes. Thus far, I have managed to pass all of them.

Nicole Rogers

I was reading about plantar fasciitis and think I might be getting it. What can I do to alleviate the pain?

BJ Kimble

I was reading about carpal tunnel syndrome on page 306 of the course text. However it did not elaborate on how to train for this. Can you give me some pointers?

Stan Erickson

I have elbow pain when I exercise but my doctor said it wasn’t tennis elbow or golfers elbow. So what can I do to lessen the pain?

Alfred Timmons

The book lists props for stretching one of which was a stability ball. How do I know which size is right for me?

Chrissy Sherwood

If female muscle has the same physiological characteristics as male muscle why shouldn’t I worry about getting bulky?

Robert Pargo

I was reading about grips on page 167 of the book and then just today read an article that mentioned a hook grip. I reviewed the book but did not see anything on this. Can you please help… thanks a lot.

Austin Christiansen

A lot has been reported about the abuse of steroids in baseball like the recent Alex Rodriguez confessions. I hear that many are turning to growth hormone. Is this a safe alternative?

Georgia Lombardy

The book says that one of the benefits of training is connective tissue improvements. That being said how can we specifically improve our connective tissue through exercise?

Tristan Stephane

I was reading about creatine as an ergogenic aid in the book and went to GNC and the clerk said I should load creatine. Is this true?

BJ Kimble

One of the common training errors the books lists is that people do not know their limits. I see great routines in Mens Health and do well for a week or so but get so tired and exhausted that I give up. What is wrong with me?

Sierra Foster

I was reading about Fartlek training but the text didn’t give the source of the principle. I am an avid runner and always wondered who invented this training principle?

Willy Jesse

I normally don’t warm up and noticed I get nauseous sometimes. Does it have something to do with skipping a warm up? I’m guessing I should warm up like the book says?

Leon Johnson

The book says higher intensity training can be dangerous but there is a lot of "press" lately on replacing "long, boring cardio" (30 min or more) with shorter duration (20 minutes) of interval cardio. So which should I do?

Arnold Simmons

Why does caffeine make my heart rate fluctuate whenever I drink coffee or soda and should I worry?

Chris Dalton

One of the terms the Module list to keep handy was Fibromylagia. My boyfriend’s mom has this and I was curious as to what it is and what I can do to help her?

Chad Hobbs

I know this might be a dumb question but what is a metronome?

Tina Rogers

How does VO2 max relate to training heart rate?
