I decided to start what  I call Fitness Rant . And no, I'm not ranting angrily or loudly, but just taking opportunity to blog and reeducate people about exercise science. I get questions that are associated with fitness myth(s) too often, thus I decided I'll rant about it. Question:  I started going to the gym for the past 2 months. I have a trainer and my trainer told me to do chest press, leg press, bicep curls etc etc (she demonstrated a few other exercises that she did not know what were they called) . But when I told my friend about my exercises that I am doing, my friend laughed at me and said If I want to lose fat, I should be doing Sit-Ups and Cardio, that would be enough. Is my trainer doing the right thing? My answer:  What your trainer is asking you to do is good.

I gave a talk on Fitness Within You ... Anywhere, Anytime at Turning Point Welcafe a few hours ago. The talk basically covers that to be successful in something you do, there must be a desire, knowledge and action plan. That includes fitness.

The talk ended with Q&A session - where many, and I mean it, many interesting questions were asked. I would try to recall as many questions as possible and share it here. Meanwhile, I'm sorry that I did not prepare the exercise list and instructions handout for the participants. But would be emailed to them later.
