TOOLS FOR CERTIFIED FITNESS TRAINERS

Wed, 10/15/2008 - 8:25am — DrSquat

Let’s face it, all personal fitness trainers need a host of rather sophisticated resources at their fingertips to fulfill their professional obligations to their clients.  Sure, you can “get by” with nothing other than knowledge of how to use the equipment in the gym you train your clients in.  Sure, your knowledge of nutritional science is adequate to provide rudimentary guidance to your clients.  You would not be certified without these tools.  And, “getting by” is NOT the hallmark of ISSA-certified personal trainers!  I know, because I taught many of you personally.  And those of you whom I did not train followed the curriculum I developed for ISSA.

A Brother’s Saga

Thu, 10/09/2008 - 8:35am — DrSquat

The mighty men of Iceland sing
against the wind and winter's sting.
Viking blood and Viking ale
have conquered worlds in truth and tale.
But never a man of ice and winter
doth lift the Manhood Stone like Hinter.

Doth lift the Manhood Stone like Hinter.

Blue lagoons and lava caves;
Geysers blow, volcanos rage.
Such a place is Hinter's host;
"The Gates of Hell" it's called by most.
But never a man loved home like Hinter;
He revelled in the cold dark winter.

He revelled in the cold dark winter.

“That’s the magic of the word: We are left to imagine our own worst definitions. And in the process, we render the word more unspeakably awful than the speaker ever could -- just as the monsters on the old radio horror shows, being products of our own dread, were scarier than anything TV could show us.”

As the legend goes, an ancient Cypriot King named Pygmalion sculpted a beautiful girl from a block of granite, only to fall madly in love with it. He successfully begged Aphrodite to bring the statue to life. They lived happily ever after.
