How to give a good lecture?

I’m a Personal Trainer specialised in Advanced Anatomy & Physiology, Health & Fitness Appraisal, Nutrition and Weight Management, Endurance/Strength/Power & Bodybuilding Training.
Even though with my experience in this industry, I am going to work for Steiner, a recruiting company for spa, health & fitness centres aboard cruise ships.
I will have to give seminars, lectures.. And this is worrying me a lot. How to communicate with the public and make the lectures easy for them using terms they would understand? e.g. lecturing about general health.

Is it the actual lecturing that worries you……do you get nervous speaking in front of crowds? Or are you more worried about what to actually talk about that will be interesting yet not too technical? Maybe a little bit of both? Remember that the audience is there because they are interested in what you are going to talk about and are not there to judge you. That should hopefully make you feel more at ease. And in regards to using terms they would understand, practice your lectures in front of friends that are not as knowledgeable as you and make sure they can understand what you are talking about. They can stop you as soon as you start to get too technical, and you can make notes on your lecture to simplify that part of the lecture. I think the people that give the best lectures are those that are confident, knowledgeable, and relaxed. If you speak from the heart and not read from notes, even better. Have your lecture outline memorized but don’t try to memorize word for word. Good luck!

Can we agree that there should there be a BMI calculator somewhere in the Diet & Fitness section..?

..so there won’t be 10000000000 questions a day asking if they’re overweight/underweight/average weight?
ALSO! Why all the goddamn spam in this section? it’s ridiculous!

Yes definitely, so here it goes….

BMI CALCULATOR:

Convert your weight in Lbs. to Kilos (ex. 122lbs=55kg)
Convert your height in inches to Meters (ex. 63inches=1.5Meters)

Mulitply height by itself (ex. 1.5×1.5=2.25)
Divide Weight by height (ex. 55/2.25=24.4)
So your BMI is 24.4 which is healthy.

18.5-25+ Healthy BMI
Over 25= Overweight
Over 30= Obeses
Over 40= Morbidly Obese

For future reference… hope this helps!

after taking a fitness and nutrition course what services can one offer to a fitness center?after taking this?

and is there anyone else who has taking this course as well as me? and what do you do now for job title?

In terms of the nutrition side of things, anyone can technically call themselves a ‘nutritionist’ with a variety of qualifications out there.
The real approval of your status comes from completing a bsc or msc in nutrition however and the HPC regulate at present health professions in a hospital but they will soon also regulate the title ‘nutritionist’.
Most people in a gym who see a personal trainer do so to obtain motivation to achieve goals - whether that be weight loss or a fitness goal or both. Gyms need to offer a holistic service because both work hand in hand. Personal trainers in gyms will usually be self employed and have clients referred to them from gym member enquiries so don’t expect to have a full client list straight away. If you become employed by a gym, you will often start as someone who is giving inductions to the safe use of the equipment.
Holistic is definitely the way to go - fitness goals need nutritional support and weight loss needs exercise support - in short, the long term achievement of your goal is to concentrate on both!

How can I take horse riding from a hobby to my life?

I have decided to have a career in horses and go to a horse university,. I am 17 but have been rding for only three years.

You mentioned that you’ll be taking a gap year. Spend that year immersed in the horse world… mostly.

During your lessons, (especially if they’re group ones, like mine) think about things that you can improve. For example-when you’re warming up at the walk, see how far you can stretch your heels down. And at the trot and canter, drop your stirrups for one lap and pick them back up for another. This increases your leg strength and balance, and it helps you practice picking up a lost stirrup at the more jostling gaits.

Don’t just stick to the discipline you’re riding now. Find lessons in Western, if you’re riding English now (and vice versa). Spend some time learning about every nook and cranny of the riding styles out there- even if it’s just a lesson or two or if it’s just reading about it in a book. This way your that much more knowledgeable about different riding styles, horsemanship, training methods, and riding in general.

See if you can spend time with a trainer. You can learn about different training methods and hopefully pick up things that you can use later on. Many professional riders also train to keep up the bills before they get that “breakout” ride.

See if you can get a job as a groom at a well known showing barn in your area. This way, you can be in the competition environment and gain the mindset. You’ll also gain contacts and references for later. But I’m assuming you know that this pays… nothing.

Which brings me to my last (almost xD) point. Find a job in retail, etc. that you know a little bit about. Even if you work part time, it helps bring in the money. I would even go so far as to recommend that you save everything that you get from that job.

OK. Last thing- SAVE. I know it’s so obvious, but it’s necessary. Eat mac and cheese and ramen noodles. Don’t buy new clothes. Live at home. Go to the extreme. If you’re buying a horse 6 months before you go to college, you’ve got a double whammy of new costs coming your way.

I told you everything that I could think of because you didn’t mention what you want to go into. Pro rider? Trainer?

Wow. All this talk about horses makes me want to take a gap year myself. Hmm… Might have to consider it.

I Applied at 24 hour fitness online, should i call and do a follow up?

I applied just today, and i was wondering since it is an online application, they have no idea who you are. Should i go in and introduce myself? Or should i call them and tell them im doing a followup on my application? Ive worked only in retail stores before so i dont know how fitness clubs differ from retail. Any help would be great, if you work or worked at 24, even better. Thanks in advance for the advice.

i would wait a week or so before calling give them time to process the applications
