hello, i am wanting to work in america next year and was wondering how about getting a visa without the green card lottery. i am a tiler and a qualified fitness and aerobics instructor aswell as a personal trainer. i dont want to be illegal and want to enjoy the american way of life. go to the ball games etc. i also have about 40,000 dollars to bring to the states so i am hoping this will help. thank you for any help.
The best way to get a work visa in the US is in the information technology or health care fields. Basically, you need to be a doctor or a programmer.

I am looking for a martial arts school with the true martial values i.e., Wushidao/Bushido…?
I have recently left a martial arts school in the West Midlands. I am looking to join a school that upholds the true martial values, not a commercial organisation that markets fitness and self defence. Ideally a mixture of the physical and mental/philosophical. Are there any suggestions?
You sound like ripe pickings for a cult.The philosophical thing was never part of martial skills and practice .BUSHIDO was only codified in the early 1900’s and accepted as a “way”to promote the militarism of the JAPANESE war lords .
To know if you were being presented with a real philosophy and not just a hodge podge of collected and made up sayings by the unscrupulous you would have to spend years studying .
Doesn’t matter where or what you study philosophy will always be a personal thing your “way”.
Why don’t insurance companies cover or help cover gym memberships?
I would really like to join the fitness center in my area, mainly because they have a pool & I used to swim competitvely, and I would also like to get back into shape. (I work out at home, but this place offers small classes for kickboxing etc, & I would like something new) Also, my daughter takes swim lessons there & we would get a discount on them. Anyway, membership for almost all of the fitness/wellness centers is pretty high. We are on a tight budget in my household too. It got me to thinking about how if insurance companies would help cover the cost of these places, maybe more people would join, and in turn stay healthier, which in turn would help keep insurance costs down. Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Or do you know of insurance companies that do this? I have BlueCross, which is pretty good, but I have never heard of insurance companies helping with this. What do you think?
KC-

some do, the offer a reimbursement… you just have to ask and the company will send you a form that you have to fill out. I know my insurance company gives $300 back which helps.

i really want to become a fitness instructor and work on a cruise ship. does anyone have any advice as to how i can become a fitness instructor and a healthy exercise and diet plan will also help a lot?thanks!
Enrol at you local college for the course, or try a at home learning course, sometimes your local area also has adult education centers that teach you. Once you become qualified you can then apply for a job.

Can I count sex as exercise on my fitness journal?
I have a fitness journal. I have to do some sort of exercise every afternoon after work. I either swim 5 km, ride my bike 40 kms on the bike lanes, jog 5km, walk 20 km. I have other kinds of exercises that are hard to measure how many calories I burn, but I still count them as exercise: like playing football with friends, rappelling, playing baseball, ice-skating, or rollerblading. I’ve never lifted weights, but I should try someday. Last week, I had sex 3 afternoons, and I didn’t do any exercise those days. The only thing that ever keeps me from doing exercise is when my boyfriend wants to have sex. It takes me from 2 to 3 hours, and I end up really tried, it leaves me wanting to go to sleep afterwards.

Holy crap 2-3 hours; you better count that as exercise!
I want to start mountain climbing and so I’m starting with the three peak challenge in the UK. What kind of exercises are the best to get in shape for mountain climbing? I know that climbing mountains will help me get in shape… but I have none close to me whatsoever. I’m assuming I’ll need some strong leg muscles?
Thank you so much! That is everything I need! I go to the gym 5 days a week anyway but only really do cardio and maybe about 20 minutes daily of weights on my legs - but didn’t really know what was best, so thank you very much - its been a great help!
I do mountaineering regularly, so I hit the gym 4 or 5 days a week and hike on the weekends.
You will need to do both strength training and cardio training.
I lift weights 4 days a week, alternating between upper and lower body. I do concentrate on my legs, back, and shoulders since these do the majority of the work when climbing.
I also do cardio 5 days a week - 30 to 60 minutes. I do a cycling class 3 days a week, hit the stair climber for 40 minutes one day, and do sprints on the treadmill for 30 minutes (2 minutes of sprinting, 3 of walking, alternating).
I usually do a high altitude hike on the weekends too, but you could probably just do a long, fast walk.
An EXCELLENT book on this subject is Training for Peak Performance by Clyde Soles (Mountaineer Books).
