I’m a personal trainer, and i have been for more than 5 years but that was all individual training. I’m teaching a womens fitness class starting next month, and i already have most of the class designed but i wanted to hear from some women and do a quick survey

1. What’s your biggest health concern?
2. What part of your body do you stress yourself over the most?
3. What are your favorite and least favorite ways to get exercise?

And if you could just name some things that you would love to be taught in a fitness class, that would be great

By the way, the class is for ages 16 and up, but if you’re younger you can still answer.

Here are the topics i’m already covering

1. Weight loss and cellulite reduction
2. How to target specific body parts
3. How to get motivation to exercise and eat healthy
4. How to design your own workout/diet schedule
5. Meditation and mind over body techniques
6. Preparing yourself to run a marathon

Need avg. $ of a few procedures plz:?

This is going to sound somewhat crazy, but during the next few years, I want to have some procedures done and need to know how to calculate an out of pocket cost for all. I am just looking for an estimate or at least a web site reference where I can research prices for the following:

Invisalign (my teeth are not THAT crooked)
Lasik Eye Surgery
Breast Reduction and Lift (to big C/small D)
Liposuction + cellulite reduction on thighs
Microdermabrasion

This is a link to a pic of me:

Preferable for women to answer since they probably know more on this subject than men, but any comments and constructive criticism would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

Cellulite’s appearance after weight loss?

I realize this is more of a "diet and fitness" kind of question, but I think I’ll get better responses here…

I have cellulite on my bum and a bit on the backs of my thighs. I am about 10-20 lbs overweight, and am wondering if weight loss reduces the look of cellulite at all. I am assuming that exercise/toning would help a little too, but I am aware that there is nothing (not even plastic surgery) that can "cure" cellulite.

Has anyone out there that has cellulite seen a reduction in its appearance after losing a bit of weight? Less dimpling, etc?
Ok thanks, but I don’t need information cut and pasted from an article about celluite….I am asking if any women noticed a reduction in cellulite’s appearance after weight loss.

That’s all.

Does too much exercise cause cellulite?

I found the following information online. Is it true?

"How Much Is Too Much?

So if thirty minutes of cellulite exercise is enough, what does over exercising do? How does cellulite exercise become excessive and why does cellulite reduction stop when you over-exercise? Well, doing too much cellulite exercises, over 40 minutes more than four times a week, can have a negative effect on the body in the following ways:

1. It does not give the cells time to recover and so any damage that was already there will remain until the body is given time to rest, therefore the cellulite stays in place.

2. The body becomes dehydrated and so the cells do not get enough nutrients or water to them. This will further degrade the collagen that keeps the thighs firm and will make the cells either shrivel or take on too much water to try and combat the dehydration. Either way, your cellulite remains in place.

3. Finally, too much cellulite can cause the body to become dependent on it. As such, missing a couple of days of exercise could actually lead to your cellulite becoming worse if you normally exercise every day. As such, bloating is common and this could mean that your cellulite appears worse than it would normally be."

Have you experienced Amerismooth cellulite therapy?

I am considering getting cellulite reduction therapy from American Laser Centers. It’s quite pricey, so before I do I was hoping to hear from others who have been through the treatment. Are the results worth it?

Any Cellulite reduction success stories?

If you have read my recent questions you will notice that I have been trying to improve my physical appearance but sadly have had bad consequences. Nonetheless when I asked about the stretch mark cream I forgot to mention that cellulite has surfaced on my thighs. One of the guys at the gym said it was because I am working out and that that’s what happens first but I want this gone by halloween and xmas is coming around the corner! I still plan on working out and eating right but who here has gotten rid of cellulite AND FAST!

Laser skin treatment coupon?

I few days ago I was on Facebook and on the side of the screen I saw an ad about laser skin treatment about permanently removing hair. The slogan they used was "Goodbye razor, hello laser!" So I clicked on it (I felt it was relevant to me) to see what it was all about; I’m interested.

When I got to the website, there was a contest where I could enter my info and have the opportunity to receive a coupon off of a laser treatment. Today, I got on and check my email and I got one from someone by the name of "Cortney Williams" telling me that I’ve won.

GOODBYE RAZOR HELLO LASER!"

So, it seems like a great offer, and I’d really like to take it up. However, I’m afraid that this may be just a scam or something I should be watching out for. You know, I don’t want to end up as one of those people you see on Oprah crying about what the fake or inexperienced surgeon did to their skin and body.

What do you guys think? Should I do it?
