I am actually the manager of the library and I’m trying to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle as well. I know that I basically want to have weekly weigh ins with incentives and idea sharing as well as invite experts in different areas of fitness and health to come in once a month. Has anyone else done something like this? I’m open to all tips and suggestions.

What are some well paying health and fitness jobs. I want to get a well paying job in the health and fitness industry but not sure which job or career path would be best?

I’m interested in researching careers for myself that involve helping people and learning more about fitness, nutrition, and overall health. Some examples would be a kinesiologist, allergist, etc. Things along those lines. I’m a senior in highschool and I would just like to know more choices out there that I haven’t heard of. Job security is also very important to me; I want to be able to know I can pursue a career that I will plan to work out for many many years. Basically a stable career where I can stand and financially independent. I’m very determined. Any HELP! thank you.

I’m starting a point-based fitness club at my school and need some good health and fitness related prize ideas for both individuals and groups of about five people. It would be very helpful if the prizes were cheap and gender neutral.

people in need for sport personal trainers, nutrition and lifestyle advice

I am obese and has never been into sports….okay, not even exercising. But I do not want to make the same mistake with my daughter who is currently 15 months old. Can anyone suggest me what kind of sports, exercising facilities, diet etc. should I give her, so that she can remain as flexible and well-coordinated as a gymnast, so that if she wants she can take any sports as a career or at least does not lose her self-confidence and health like me.
I went to my local sports center and they said that I should wait for five to six years for any formal training and let my daughter play as she likes. I would like your advice on the subject too. Can anyone tell me what is the youngest age these sports persons start and whether it is a help or a hindrance? I like gymnastics but any sport that can keep her fit and fine is fine enough for me too.

i want to have a job that has something to do with health and fitness .. but im worried that i wont make enough money to live on .. is there some good paying jobs that have something to do with health and fitness?
