ACSM - American College of Sports Medicine (best one to get, in my opinion) ACE- American Council on Exercise (very common among trainers) NSCA - National Strength and Conditioning Association (good if you want to work w/ athletes; training football players, etc) Hope that helps!

We have about 3 inches so far in NH - supposed to get 6-12" by 5:00 so it's coming down fast, it's so pretty! Classes are cancelled today, yahoo!! I love this weather when I have no place to be. Hopefully it will stay cold and we'll have a white christmas :)

It's the same when you have something in your eye! It always feels like a boulder but it's usually a tiny speck of mascara or dust, if you can even see it at all.

Overall you should cross train using both methods and you will see definition. The single most important issue for visible definition is decreasing your body fat (no lower than 13%), so diet is key. To answer your question, there is no one answer. It really comes down to what your muscles...

I will be after next semester! I'm in school for an associates degree in execise science and I may continue on to get a bachelors depending on whether I can find a good job or not. The test is easier than it used to be (according to my advisor), they got rid of the practical portion of the...

Soooo CUTE!! Love his name :)

I just scored on a pair of Paige Premium Denim Jeans on ebay! The normally retail for $170 but that's just ridiculous! I got them for $80 which is the max I'll pay for jeans. They are the best fitting jeans I've ever put on - they actually call them "the butt" jeans, lol. The designer...

It's much easier to be open and honest when no one is looking at you, especially a mom or dad. I love IM, DH and I will IM in the house as well - just jokey back and forth stuff here and there. I really like the Audibles on yahoo messenger, they're hilarious and they change them up quite often.

Lol! No, I'm not that desperate! I had tried it before I read the article... I do live close to Canada though :P

I tried it for a while, then I read an article from a make up artist that the ingredient that is supposed to reduce the swelling is no longer put into the Prep. H in the U.S. - you have to get it in Canada or overseas for it to have that particular "miracle" ingredient. When I used it I didn't...

Mariela, The calipers are a really hard to master, even trainers don't use them correctly and anything can throw the numbers off - bloat for instance. I'd really recommend using a tape measure, they're cheap and pretty much fool proof. Don't be discouraged! ~Shannon

I'd be a giraffe or a beaver. Giraffe because they are so graceful and sweet, beaver because they are monogamous and create their own ecosystems - very cool.

She explains it a few posts above this one :) Great rotation thus far, really fun!

Yes please! I love the ability to have a dual workout premix!

That's so annoying! Like you don't have anything better to do. I work at a gym and the woman who does the daycare didn't show up one day, so I called my boss to tell him since there were moms and their kids waiting around. He knew she wasn't coming in and said, "oh yeah, Kelly can't make it...

High reps, moderate weight builds muscle. This is what competative bodybuilders do. Low reps, heavy weight increases muscle strength by increasing muscle fiber density - how competative weight lifters train. Both increase muscle size, the key is working to failure, adequate nutrition and...

Do the calipers have a way to measure the amount of pressure to use? I don't know how to word that to make sense... Plastic calipers have a line that guides you, squeeze to that line and then take the reading... hope that makes some sense. When doing triceps, grab the tissue first, then...

I can't recommend any, but these are the two that I'm contemplating... http://www.sundancecatalog.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=7687&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=6&iSubCat=46&iProductID=7687...

I actually have to take a practical exam on caliper use tomorrow :o IMO, if your bf is really 9.4% you would know it, no period, mood swings, etc. Women should not go below 13%, anything below is messing with hormone secretion - not good. Certainly if you are training for a competition or...

The thing that I can't understand is the people who go on Survivor and they are stick thin! Like the sports caster woman (can't think of her name) you could see her ribs and hip bones on the first day! Now she's disgusting to look at. I couldn't belive that she chose to do the challenge...
