Why are Americans so clueless when it comes to diet and exercise?

Question by atomicdoug171: Why are Americans so clueless when it comes to diet and exercise?
I heard on the radio today that 40% of Americans are obese, and something like 50+% are overweight. Why don’t people clue in, eat healthy and get exercise? Its not rocket science? Doesn’t anyone care that we’re becoming a nation of fat out of shape pigs?

Personal trainer pay?

ExerciseScience — Sun, 19 May 2013 02:48:28 +0000

Question by jaystyr: Personal trainer pay?
I just got offered a job as a personal trainer. They want to start me at $ 18 per hour with a certification. I am also going to graduate at the end of 2010 with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. I was wondering if this is a starting pay? I live in massachusetts and I have a little experience training people already, though not for a gym. The other thing is that I only get paid for sessions I train, which each session is a half an hour long of strength training.

Should I try to negotiate pay at all or should I be happy with $ 18/hour to start with? Also, should I ask for pay per session instead of hour?

Best answer:

Answer by Gym Jock
That’s an excellent starting pay. I started with a ton of experience but no degree in Kinesiology and my gym put me at $ 13/hr to start. Mind you there was also 10% commission on whatever you sold.

Just remember – you only get paid for the hours you train… so it takes a while to get up to a full 35hrs a week. Better make sure you’ve got some cash saved up for the start.

How can a personal trainer become an overweight person?!!!?

ExerciseScience — Sat, 18 May 2013 14:52:01 +0000

Question by lonesome star: How can a personal trainer become an overweight person?!!!?
I am 24 and I have a problem. I am a certified personal trainer and I am an exercise science major. I work full time as an admin assistant and I have been married for 5 years. I know exactly what needs to be done to lose weight and to live a healthy lifestyle. But needless to say I have found myself falling in the pits of a unhealthy lifestyle. I am extreamly overwhelmed with my life. I have a mortgate to pay, a desk job, an education to finish, a marriage to work on and now I have gained 30 pounds of fat ofcourse. How can this be? I used to tell my clients that even though they have a sedentary job, they can always find time to move and enjoy exercise. Now that I am living their lives I find it terribly impossible to be me. I feel awful. I am embarrassed to say I am an junior in college studing to be an exercise physiologist. I look awful. People tell me I look good and if I have gained weight it has all gone to the right places but I know what my body was like, i know what my energy level was like. All I have been doing is emotinal eating since I have so much stress. I joined the YMCA and i have gone but not as much as I would like to since I dont have the motivation I used to. I lived and breathed exercise. I hate it. I dont know why I am writing this. Maybe I need to vent it out. People dont seem to understand me and think i am over reacting over this but I am not happy anymore. I dont have time for myself. The only reason I have been able to write this is becuase I am sick with a cold and am home. I guess I got sick becuase I am over working myself with the responsibilities that I have. I dont know what to do or think anymore. Please help. Even fitness proffessionals need help. We are also human.

Answer by RHCP
Hey.

First thing you have to do, stop beating yourself up! Yes, you may be going through some hard times and have gained some weight, but that is no reason to stop loving yourself! As you even said, your human so inevitably mistakes happen. You know what you need to do to get the body you want, that isn’t the problem. You need to convince yourself that your WORTH it. You can only do this for you, no one else. Accordingly, YOU will reap the benefits! Sounds like your endorphins need some boosting, and I’m sure as you already know the gym will do just that!

Exercises To Jump Higher – The Secret Science Behind Plyometrics

ExerciseScience — Fri, 17 May 2013 02:48:52 +0000

Of all of the exercises to jump higher that you could choose, plyometrics are potentially the ones that could have you leaping literally head and shoulders above the other players. That’s all well and good if you already understand them. No? You will by the end of this article.

Why use Plyometrics?

The skeletal muscle fibre in our frame is generally classified into two categories: Slow Twitch that we refer to as Type I Fibres, and Fast Twitch that we refer to as Type II Fibres. We don’t need to get too technical, but generally speaking Type I Slow Twitch Fibres contract slower, are smaller in diameter, have less contractile strength and burn oxygen for fuel. Type II Fast Twitch Fibres however contract faster, are 20% larger in diameter, have more contractile strength and burn ATP (adenosine triphosphatase) for fuel.

Of the two types of muscle fibre, guess which one is our best friend when it comes to jumping higher? Yep, it’s Type II Fast Twitch Fibres.

Sadly we didn’t get a choice as to which ones to be made exclusively from, and can’t change one type into the other. But guess which type responds well to weight training, short duration sprints, plyometrics and Creatine Supplementation. Right again, it’s our old friend the Type II Fast Twitch Fibre. And that’s why, out of all the available exercises to jump higher, we need to include plyometrics along with the other stuff.

What are they exactly?

A plyometric movement is one that involves a sudden overloading of the muscle whilst it’s in a stretched state. What this does is to force the muscle to generate more explosive power than it would normally do under voluntary conditions. Of course there are safety measures placed in our nervous system to prevent the muscle fibres from consciously and maximally contracting simultaneously – that would lead to injury. However we can fool our bodies into executing these moves, in order to improve power, speed and strength – all essential components for jumping higher into the air.

What is a plyometric exercise?

Imagine you were walking along a street and you didn’t see a raised concrete edge in front of you, and it caught your foot causing you to stumble forwards. Luckily your left foot shoots out in front of you in a lunging position and prevents you from having a nasty accident. The force generated by your glutes and quads at the moment the sole of your foot slams the ground is far greater than you would have been able to generate consciously.

How should I use them in my workout routine?

Essentially you need to repeatedly expose your muscles to the type of overload we just discussed above. When you do that you increase the muscle’s eccentric strength and your own conscious ability to recruit the power from your muscles on demand. However, due to the dynamic and explosive nature of the exercise they carry a higher risk of injury, so must only be performed after a thorough workout. The usual in-workout rules apply too -listen to your body and stop if you feel at the point of damage. (But still work hard!)

Studies done on sprint runners concluded that the athletes who used both weight training and plyometrics as part of their exercises to jump higher out-performed those athletes who used only one of the methods or neither.

Hungry for more? We hope to have sparked your interest in plyometrics and other winning combinations of explosive exercises to jump higher. If you’re set on reaching your own personal best, take a look at our video clips at the link below to see what’s possible using the latest cutting edge methods.
