Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / January 2008What Is A Personal Trainer
Imagine stepping into the gym for the first time in your life. There are so many machines and gadgets. What do you do first? Is this one safe? Are you using it right? There are so many questions to ask about trying to get physically fit as well. How much should you push yourself? How much is too much? A personal trainer is someone who steps in and will coach you through your weight loss regime. What is it that a personal trainer does exactly? Finding Out What A Personal Trainer Does Is Step Number One Whenever I want to find out what it is that a personal trainer does, I simply visit the website or look at an advertisement of another personal trainer. From one location that is located in California, I have found the following list to be exactly what a personal trainer does. Coaching workouts that intensify gradually at different stages Working to increase improvement function of the body from walking and running, etc. Keeping a client up to date on nutrition Practices safe stretching and exercise techniques Helps to increase muscle tone and metabolism in the body Minimize the possibility of injury Increase the client's self-confidence and put good 'stress' to encourage Eliminate laziness and excuses from stopping the client from getting what they want What is it that Clients Ask When Looking for a Personal Trainer? One that I have found says that finding the best personal trainer is to simply ask a lot of questions. If you ask questions of your personal trainer and he or she does no http://www.dontplayplay.com/html/Finances/20060930/34158.html > Imagine stepping into the gym for the first time in your > life.

Some do possess narcissistic tendencies, but they would never share those tendencies with anyone else - especially at a cost. We modelers are cheapskates by nature. At least the ones that actually build/design/campaign models are modelers. Who knows what you'll find in the RTF/ARF crowd?

I've always thought the hobby was large enough to please "modelers" of all interests, so I'm always surprised when I see one modeler blatantly attacking another in a different segment of the hobby. John >>>Imagine stepping into the gym for the first time in your >>>life. There [quoted text clipped - 81 lines] > > John ---------- First of all, I have a garage full (literally) of ARFs and kits. Mostly ARFs, so I don't dislike ARF assemblers. However, to me, they are not modelers using the old school definition. Just as hams that did not learn Morse Code are not real hams, to me. They don't know anything about radio. The latest no coders are merely slightly elevated CB'ers because there was no sweat equity invested to obtain their licenses. It goes further than CW (Morse Code), the FCC has also eliminated the need for any technical knowledge in electronics to pass the license test. It is all law and manners. Breaker - breaker - 1 - 9. Since we do not need licenses to fly a model airplane in the USA, it makes it difficult to separate the modelers from the buyer types at just a glance. I'm 61 years of age, for a few more months. Isn't it normal/expected that someone who has been into the model airplane hobby and who has a vast amount of years and memories to form their opinions from, would have a different view of the hobby? Categorizing people at a glance is a survival instinct that has worked well, not perfectly, for many aeons. Getting angry because someone points out that we all categorize folks and temporarily place them in a box is a bit silly, since each and every one of us do it spontaneously. It is part of how we think. Now, let me say that I do not snub anyone because they are new to the hobby, or because they are flying RTF or ARF models. On the other hand, I'm old enough to have learned that there is a lot more to human beings than just the status they may possess in a particular hobby. Yes, there are those folks in existence that will try to lord it over newcomers in any hobby. Ignorance and bad manners are universal and they pervade every niche of life. I'm not saying that anyone should tolerate rude behavior simply because the misbehavior has a lot of time in the hobby or on the planet. Rude is rude. However, sometimes folks do not realize that their comments may have hurt someone else's feelings, even when the writer/speaker meant no insult or harm to anyone. I suspect that this is what has happened in my post that you are responding to. So, with that having been acknowledged, I can tell you that while I feel the comment was natural, for an old fart such as myself, to utter, it was not intended to offend you or anyone else. See ya at the flying field, my friend. Ed Cregger My wife is a personal trainer. She doesn't SPAM newsgroups. She has a lot of happy clients. You'll never see her post about her gym here. I strongly suggest that you do the same. Geezer You left out the bl.wj.b as a final relaxant. (G) Now buzz off! CR |
