Mountain bikers risk their necks

Helmets don’t protect you from this type of injury.  1 in 6 severe enough to result in complete paralysis.  Ouch! I guess it really depends on the trail that your on and the time of day.  Imaging riding along in a somewhat dark part of the trail… the sun has set… you reach to flip your headlight on… BAAM!  Over the handle bars you go.  Been there done that.  Not doing that again. Of course… what sport is there that’s safe? Mountain bikers risk their necks – Fitness- msnbc.com. Read More

Becoming A Better Personal Trainer

Some very good points.  In summary, every person is different and a good trainer will identify your body type and develop a plan around it. I was surprised and it makes 100% perfect sense after watching many seasons of Biggest Loser.   The girl who had issues and was a  battle to train so dropped her as a client.  You lose the business, but it really plays a mental game in your head… and in the end most come around and start pushing themselves.  Just like a mother eagle dropping it’s baby to fly on it’s own.
