Ever Thought About Becoming a Personal Trainer?
When you spend a lot of time at the gym, you get to know your way around. You learn how to use all the equipment, and you take classes or have sessions with a personal trainer to learn all the killer strength training moves. I'm wondering, after spending so much time becoming fit, have you ever thought about becoming a personal trainer or fitness instructor to inspire others to be strong and healthy?
Fit Tip: Split a Personal Trainer Session With a Friend
So it's January and you've vowed that 2009 will be the year you get in shape. If you're not sure how to get started, a personal trainer can teach you how to workout with all the challenges of new exercises and proper technique. Let's be financially realistic though.
Personal Trainer or Personal Chef?
Celebrities make loads of dough, and keeping up their svelte appearance is part of their job. To help them stay slim and toned, most stars can afford to have live-in chefs prepare healthy meals for them all day, everyday. They can also afford to hire full-time personal trainers who coach them (in their home gyms, I'm sure) and give them advice on how to get the bodies they want.
Fit Tip: Consider Your Personal Trainer Temporary
Hiring a personal trainer is a fabulous way to start or pump up a fitness routine, just don't rely on her too heavily because eventually you are going to need to learn to exercise on your own. Use your trainer to learn new moves, how to use the equipment, how to establish a routine, and to end a plateau.

5 Ways to Know You Need a New Trainer
A personal trainer can help you tremendously in your efforts in getting fit. Most trainers are with you 100 percent in that goal, but some can be lacking in their efforts. Trainers aren't cheap so here are a few tips that could be indicators that you may need to put your money (and time) towards another trainer:
Personal Trainer: Male or Female?
When it comes to personal trainers, I have no preference for a female trainer over a male. As long as a trainer inspires me, keeps me moving, and helps me get stronger to attain my goals, I am fine with either.
So which do you prefer?
Fit Tip: Pick Your Own Personal Trainer
A lot of gyms will lure you in with a few free sessions with one of their personal trainers when you sign up for a membership. I am a big fan of taking advantage of this offer, but don't let the gym pick your trainer. Instead, ask questions so you can learn a little bit about each of them and then pick the one that seems to suit you best.
Would You Want Danny Bonaduce as Your Trainer?
Recently I was checking out Podfitness, a new site that offers personal training podcasts by many prominent trainers. Names such as as David Kirsch (Heidi Klum's trainer), Mandy Ingber (Jennifer Aniston's trainer), Michael George (Reese Witherspoon's trainer), and Danny Bonaduce (former child actor?) are available by download.
Wait, Danny Bonaduce.
Have you ever worked with a personal trainer?
