Becoming a Personal Trainer - What Is Expected From You

by dailymuscle on July 11, 2007

There’s been alot of talk on dailymuscle.com on what the expectations are from a personal trainer. Many of them, I’ve always considered as my own personal opinions. In fact, one of my all time favourite writeups is >> Choosing A Personal Trainer. (I can even still remember that night I sat down at my dining table and typed that out.)

Over time, I’ve received plenty of feedback from my readers - both positive and negative, and one feedback that I’d always get is that the majority of Personal Trainers in the gym aren’t bothered about correcting/helping those who aren’t their clients. I guess it’s okay if you do not approach them to seek help when you’re unsure of operating a machine/lifting the weights, but it’s just plain wrong when they see you do it wrongly, risk injuring yourself - and yet ignore you. Almost to a point where we wonder what it is that they’re supposed to do at the gym anyway? Even strangers help strangers!

Also, by now, most of my readers also think that I despise Personal Trainers - so I need to set the record straight - dailymuscle.com DOES NOT DESPISE Personal Trainers - I think that they’ve got one of the most life changing and rewarding jobs. [click to continue...]

Having Jennifer Aniston’s Thin, Toned Arms

by dailymuscle on July 3, 2007

Jennifer Aniston - GQ Magazine Dear DM,

I’ve been obsessed about having thin, toned arms - exactly like Jennifer Aniston’s for ages now. I first tried weights (in balance with cardio), but gave up after really unsatisfying results. Then I cut out all fat from my diet and subsequently lost a lot of weight. Yet, my arms never changed, and when they are straight by my sides the wobbly underarm squashes out so that my arm looks flabby and big. PLEASE can you advise me on a routine that will eventually give me arms like Jen’s. Whenever I think about my arms it gets me down, and I really can’t afford to lose anymore weight. Thanks.

Dear bARMy,

Jennifer Aniston does have really great arms… and the fact that she flaunts it alot kinda tells you that she herself knows they look good. But you know, I’m pretty sure that it came with a price - and for the price she paid… she deserves it. Perseverance, determination, effort, and watching what you eat should all form the foundation of what you do. [click to continue...]
