    Well maybe I will just have to do the personal trainning certificate. I would like one that I can take internationally! Anyone know one?

     

    Now you're thinking. You want to travel the world huh? Dude I'd be so jealous.

    Roy:

     

    The tape I suppose is a good starting point . . . but personel training on Pilates equipment (reformer, chair, barrell, etc) rather than just mat classes is where you can make more money. My wife doesn't teach any group matt classes any more, just one on one or duets on the equipment. Adding on to Rain's response, a private personel training facility with specialized equipment is a good way to go. They provide you with private clients. This can also get the majoriety of your work in one location, rather than bouncing from gym to gym doing one class here, one there.

     

    Rain :

    You are wrong . . . you have all of the determination, brains, etc you need right now, you just found that the fitness industry is a jungle where you jumped into it. I think that you are figuring it out . . . using nutrition, fitness, and ethics to create your own niche. Look at what Veggieprincess is doing . . . you are extremely creative, so put it to good use!

     

    I was going to do the mat training to begin. From the certification facilites I've found they require you to be mat certified first. I will definitely get equipment certified after.

    Thank you so much. I actually just ordered a Denise Austin Pilates VHS tape (.01+2.99 shipping!) off of Amazon just to bring myself back to speed and to incorporate it into my workouts. From what I read this is actually a good Denise Austin video. I've come a long way to admit that I'm watching a Denise Austin video...

     

    Gyrotonics looks intriguing. I've been interested in using circular training ever since I read about clubbells. I think I'll take a class or two soon.

    Questions about Losing Weight

    If you do it properly you will only feel slightly hungry and then not far away from meal times. If you feel strongly hungry all of the time you are cutting back on your food too much. Ideally, you don't want to lose more than 1 - 2 lbs a week.

     

    I lost about 48 lbs about a year ago. I recorded what I did and my experiences on my blog. You might find it helpful:

    This page from the Hacker Diet answered my question perfectly (maybe I'll even read the whole thing).

     

    Thank you so much =)
