Before I pack everything, I would like to know that I will use it :) Lizz K. Thank you for the web pages. I've already viewed them, but thank you for taking the time to find them.

i wanna ask if a fitness gym owner is allowed to sell and admister an injectable steroids.? this guy is not a doctor or a nurse to inject a steroids to some of his costumer who want to buy it to get this substance into their system.i think theres a lot of what we call it ILLEGAL in this action of this owner to earn more money other than just using his fitness equipment and some teaching on how to use them by his gym instructor and other normal way of being physically fit of their member or costumer.as what i've known STEROIDS is definitely an enhancing drug and is included to the lists of what we call DANGEROUS DRUGS.and selling it out of pharmacy and most likely doesn't require any prescription.and the fact that aggravate this irregularity is this substance was being administered by a non medical pracitioner person.if ur interested about this case,just let me know.i have a picture that this guy is actually injecting this illegal substance to his gym.it's really easy to make an entrapment to bust this wrong doing.THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TIME TO READ THIS LETTER.GOD BLESS...

Now it doesn't seem secure, as if it could fall over at any time. The center itself is fine, so it must be the thick carpet. What can I use?

Don't USA gyms provide fitness trainers as standard? If not, why not? I have been stunned over the last couple of days at the number of people asking about weights and exercise. They speak as if they are going to a gym, but seem to have no guidance when they are there. I know some gyms in the USA don't do this, but is this the norm? A gym SHOULD provide, as part of the membership of the gym, a programme consultation every six weeks as a minimum. A good gym (in my experience) will also provide a fitness assessment to start, plus progress assessments every 6 or 12 weeks. They should show clients how to use all required equipment and how to perform each exercise. If this isn't happening, you guys need to start demanding it! People power!

post partum weight loss.? Hi I gained 75 lbs with my son...lost 30lbs after delivering and now I am 3 months postpartum. I have about 20lbs to go now. any ideas for exercise with Baby? we stroll everyday for at least an hour...and if I can fit it in during the day I will use my fitness equipment. run on the eliptical and do at least 100 sit ups a day. anyone have an ideas on how to up the weight loss?? I havent lost any lbs in the last month...but I've lost lots of inches! But I want to fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans.... or any of my pants!! or am I just pushing it?? it has been only 3 months.

I dont know my measurements from before. I'm guessing my hips were about 30inches....and my waist around the belly button was about 27inches...does this seem right?

So, any specific workouts that work well for the arms and abs besides using things like weights you'd buy, a fitness ball, etc.?

Anyone have any idea on how I could replace them, or know a place to look?

I'm looking for a good selection of cardio and strength training exercises I can do at home with no equipment I live in an extremely polluted city in China and therefore need to exercise indoors. Int he past I've always trained as a distance runner, but running outdoors here is just not that wise due to pollution and traffic concerns, so I would like to develop a fitness routine I can do indoors when I can't make it to the gym. I would ideally like to combine strength training and cardio and use no or minimal equipment. Also since I'm not running much anymore I'd prefer to build some bulk rather than stay lean like I usually am. Tall order I know but any routine suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

Gyms for energy/power production??? Has anyone ever used all the energy generated by people using equipment in a gym or fitness room to provide power for a building? If not, could this be a practical possibility?

Gym Fitness Plan/Workout? Hi I am joining my local university gym. It is cheap and has every piece of equipment you could ever imagine. However, it does not offer tailormade fitness plans.

Question about working out.? I use this exercise equipment http://www.fit-shop.com/fitness-exercise-equipment/gyms/tuffstuff-apollo-5-home-gym.asp . I am doing different exercizes, just a little bit of everything. I do about 6-7 curls, stop, do about 6-7 lat pull downs, stop, do 4-5 seated mid-rows, stop, do about 7-8 floor mid-rows, stop, then i do some of the arm cross over exercizes with the pully. I do all of these with the most amount of weight i can do and low reps because i want muscle. Now, I just did this exercize a few times yesterday and today I am not sore at all, should I work out again? If im not sore are my muscles still rebuilding?

Any workouts? I would like to find any easy home workout. I don't want to use equipment and that stuff, just normal fitness. I will give you 10 points for the best answer. Also if there is a website I would like that even more.

ADVICE Please? Okay so my mother is throwing a christmas party this weekend and i have nothing to wear. I've gained a lot of weight the past few years and none of my clothes fit me the same from when i bought them, however my mom gave my sister and i 75 dollars each to get some new clothes and think id rather spend my money on diet food, reason being i showed my sister the outfit i was going to buy a cute sweater and some new jeans and basically she told me i'd look fat., and i've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what i buy i would make "IT" look fat b/c i am fat. so i got some fitness equipment about 2 weeks ago and i've used it religiously since the day it arrived and i;ve been on sparkpeople for about a week and since im currently not working i think it's best to buy diet food for the next week or so instead of purching a new outfit that i'll wear once and never again since im determined to lose weight and more motivated than i've ever been in my entire life.any advice on what to do

fitness center etiquette? I joined one center on a trial basis, never got an orientation, but kept to myself, and got a couple of odd looks. I tried a new one today and got plenty of odd looks. If a piece of equipment is not in use, it's fair game right? If you do free weights and are doing a circuit, you don't have to remove the plates if your obviously coming back to the bar right? Am I right when I chose a circuit with Ipod off and on second set Ipod up and want to do my other 4 sets in sequence, even if I have to wait? What the heck is the deal in the gym? I've been doing great in my basement for a year, but I notice I get a better workout at the gym, I don't want to be rude, but don't want to be stepped on either. to follow up: I have been lifting heavy for a year, and am a lot bigger than the people giving me looks.

Creating a fitness plan? I recently got a gym membership, but use of a trainer costs an arm and a leg. So I dont really know what I'm doing. I'm paying for use of all this fancy equipment, but I only ever end up doing cardio and then maybe trying out one or two other machines. I'm looking for a website that can tell me which machines I should use, how often, and for how long. Something geared towards women prefrably. thanks.

Your opinion on the RAF Regiment? I am half way through selection at the moment to be a RAFR Officer and am so far thoroughly impressed with the calibre of the men and the squadrons as well as the equipment they use. In terms of fitness, training and determination they certainly are on a par with the Royal Marines or the Parachute Regiment (in fact, RAFR Officer training is actually longer than RM Officer training by a week or two!). Bear in mind I am still relatively unbiased as I haven't been selected yet and I'm running a secondary application with the Paras too. I know that the RAFR are restricted by their role, but they do patrol up to 200KM from any RAF installation. So why do you nenver hear about them in military or civilian circles? What is you opinion of them please, honestly? Serving, ex military or close family only please. Thanks!

Opinions on Curves vs. larger gyms? Curves fitness centers are geared toward women and uses hydraulic resistence machines for their patrons to lose weight. It is a 30 minute workout conducted in a circle of machines in which every other workout station is a space for you to jog or speedwalk. Is this as effective as the workout equipment used at the larger gyms? I want to join but I am not sure that Curves will be an effective mode for me to lose weight. Opinions please. THanks.

Are there any good fitness videos that...? I've seen a lot of videos out there in the stores that focus on one area of the body, but are there any inexpensive (less than $20) videos out there. I'm looking for a video that gives an all-around workout for 15-30 minutes using all of the major muscle groups, is low impact, and doesn't require any special equipment such as a ball, or weights? And does it have more than one workout on it so you can alternate workouts? If you have used it how did you like it? (Ideally one that can be used by a middle-aged woman). To the person who suggested I get myself to a gym, it's a pretty expensive activity and not always open when I can exercise.

Wondering what type of weight-training equipment to buy? I am serious about starting weight-training, into my fitness plan. I want one for home use. First, I considered getting a basic, weight-bench for this, but I am not so sure, now . .if this will do. My goal is to weight-train for building strength, but slightly building lean, toned muscles . . . not for big, bulging muscles. I am a petite, but healthy-weight woman, who is aiming for lean, feminine look, but strong build. So, based on this info that I have given, which type will be more suitable, and effective to achieve this? A weight-bench for bench pressing free-weights OR a weight-train machine that has weight-blocks on it with pulleys? Or both? I am not an expert on this, so I am kindly asking: Do YOU have an answer that may help me with this decision? All answers will be appreciated! Angela

Can you give me advice on my knee? I recently started working out at the gym and had a fitness trainer show me how to use the equipment. However I've had a problems with my right knee before and it had torn cartlidge in two spots and healed nicely and never had problems with it since. Now, my left knee feels like jello and I have to constantly crack my knee joint and ankles to make it feel somewhat better, but it still feels like my knee is surrounded by jello and when I do crack it it does hurt but it feels like some of the pressure is off of it.

Fitness, Health & Exercise Question? I am 28 years old and I want to be like how I used to be, fit and healthy, over the past few years I have let myself go a bit. I am 5"11 and around 17 stone, however to look at me I have no big belly etc, as I am quite solid, nice legs etc.. Anyways I want to get down to around 13 / 14 stone, I want to get back in my 32/32 jeans :) Now I struggle with 36/32. I bought a bike and some weights, and I have stopped smoking. At present I really dont eat a lot, I have bowl of breakfast in morning with banana and pint of water, and then that is me until dinner time where I try to have things with vegetables etc and peice of fruit for dessert. What would be my best way to exercise, with the equipment I have, bike, walking, weights. Also what else, sit-ups etc, how do I start it all out, what I guess I am looking for is a routine that I can follow, and something that will really make me good, sweat hard etc, but also take in account I am out of shape. Thanks

Fitness Ideas Needed? Okay, I need to burn off about 15 pounds. I have been using my bowflex and you can tell I am tone underneath but I do have some fat I need to burn off. Normally, I would go running, biking or get on a tredmill . My tredmil broke, Its too too cold outside to bike or go running and I have no other cardio machines in my house. Just the bowflex. How do I burn calories as if I am running without going out side or buying new equipment. I can't afford to because of the holidays. I want to sweat and yoga just won't cut it. What ideas to you have that will help increase my sweat output and up my calorie burning without leaving the house. Please don't say sex..that isn't an option either.

Step exercise equipment? I already have an eliptical trainer, but I was thinking of buying one of those fitness stepper's. Where you stand on it and kind of like step up and down. Does anyone use this and is it any good for toning your legs and boosting you bum up? Since it would be like walking up stairs which is suppossed to be really good. Anyone know? Thanks

Can you make a Slogan out of one of these words? I need to make a slogan for a physical fitness & well being program for a company. The company sells Cat Construction equipment. Using one of these words, or one of your own that relates, can you make a mnemonic type phrase that would be a good name for such a program? Words I have considered: Iron, Mac, Track, MacTrack, Dozer, Improve, MacLife, LifeFit....come up with your own! Example would be I.F.E.P.F. (initiative for employee physical fitness). Obviously, that one's not clever at all, nor does it form a word.

If men and women are expected to physically perform in the military...? then why are physical fitness standards augmented depending on sex? A female soldier and a male soldier will be expected to run just as hard, march just as far, carry just as much, use the same equipment... so why alter physical fitness standards to allow women to get in more easily? Forgot the link: http://www.la.ngb.army.mil/156BAND/apft.html I'm wondering why standards differ based on gender (and age) even though all soldiers are expected to perform equally.

According to the person who gave me the link (and has been in the military 14 years) women do in fact sometimes wind up doing some fighting.

Should I keep my gym membership? I live in an apartment complex that has a fitness room. The clubhouse at my apartment has three treadmillls, one elliptical machine, two old bicycle machines, and one of those 5-in-1 workout centers that you see at hotel fitness rooms, and some dumbbells. But there is WAY much more equipment at the gym that you don't see at the apartment complex. The gym has an arc trainer, better treadmills, stairstepper machines, more types of elliptical machines, and free weights, and more weight machines. But the gym charges me about $60/month, and I have been a member for about a year. Do any of you live in an apartment complex with a fitness room but still go to the gym? If so, why do you continue to go to the gym. If not, why don't you go to the gym where there is more equipment to use?

What kind of insurance do I need for a infant toddler parent/child mommy and me activity class? I am looking to open up a play space indoors for parents and their children under four. There will be music, songs, story telling and I want to use soft play equipment like Gymboree. It's basically a preschool environment (but parents come with their kids to do fun stuff). It is not a day care. I really don't know what type of insurance I need in California. Day care insurance? General liability insurance? I need some help. The classes will be held is basically 10 to 15 hours per week and I'm renting a dance studio in a fitness center for 2 to 3 hours a day. Please help

If I go back to school to become a personal trainer can I write that expense off of my taxes next year? I wish to become a licensed personal fitness trainer. When I file my taxes next year can I use my education and equipment as a tax write off. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?

What is the best way to get a new business financed ? My wife and I are wanting to open a womens fitness center in our small town. We live in a small town of about 5,000 people. We are centrally located between two of the largest cities in texas. The only gym in town is located in the back room of a dry cleaners and is usually occupied by 16-18 boys from the high school. We have a historic building located in the downtown district which is approx. 7500sq.ft, with a asking price of $ 150,000. We would like to borrow $ 250,000. to buy the building, equipment and to remodel for our purposes. Traditional financing seems out of the question because this will be a new business. What can we do ? Has anyone had any experience with SBA loans for women owned business ? Are there any investor's who would be interested in a loan of this size using the building and equipment as collateral ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !!!!!!

Has anyone used the Gazelle Glider (fitness equipment) and lost weight? Did you loose all over?...How many minutes a day and how much did you loose?

Can I get out of a lease if the landlords don't hold up their end of the bargain? I'm pretty sure I have a standard 12 month lease agreement in Texas. The landlords/apartment owners have not kept up one of the amenities on the property that I've lived for over two years. The fitness room is full of broken equipment and that is more than likely caused by underaged children using the facility incorrectly. I wrote a letter to the manager at one point about it and was told that the equipment was being replaced with new equipment but it's been over six months and that hasn't happened. They've recently changed owners (or possibly just management companies) and now the fitness room has been completely locked up (after hours, I assume, as I'm never here when the office is open). Is there any action that I could take against the management company and/or owners? I've looked over the lease and parts of it are very vague referring to the property and not specifically amenities. Any push in the right direction will be appreciated.
