1. Have Pope Richard Simmons bless your jock strap.
2. By memorizing everything on this website... it's one of the best I've seen: http://www.bodybuilding.com
3. Your local YMCA usually has programs to certify. Try there and with the health club managers. Good Luck!
4. 1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism. 2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed). 3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water. It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me. Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!! http://www.calorieking.com A sight with some really cool diet calculators and interesting calorie counting calculators is here. Check it out. http://www.caloriesperhour.com/... Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk. Good LUCK!
5. Find an organization that offers certification in group fitness training, then do some research to see if their certification has merit or not. I'd assume that being a certified personal trainer would give you the credentials you seek. There are many certifications to choose from, so again you will need to do some research to see how well a given certification is recognized within the fitness industry and whether or not it will be enough to be considered employable.
