FOR THE YOUNG TRAINER

Very little social life– you are working when others are free
Gym fees for gym trainers, and equipment fees for independent trainers
- may get less than 50% of what you’re actually paid
Becoming a trainer is more than just taking a 3 month course
- education never stops
Trainers have to be masters at all types of training — discussed in Fitness Confidential

TRAINERS ON TV

Vinnie has been a filler on a morning “yuck – yuck” show
Trainers are generally not on TV — TV does not get you anywhere
Radio is much better!

Having never rowed before, Sam and Meredith rowed from San Francisco to Hawaii in 56 days doing the equivalent of 2 marathons per day
They were both fat-adapted and after this huge undertaking, they had no breakdown in body
They had no inflammation at all

DR. STEVE PHINNEY

Dr. Phinney has been advocating fat as fuel for 30+ years
He is the father of low carb and high fat for athletes
His findings support no need for sugar or grains for fuel
Intermittent power athletes who are fat adapted show positive results

WHY SUGARY SPORTS DRINKS STILL PROMOTED AS FUEL

Lots of businesses do not want this information out there
They have major financial support and momentum behind them
