I always watch my client and see how much they could do. I always start them off on a slower pace and increase the workouts as they become stronger and more comfortable. I watch for signs such as breathing, red face, possibility of fainting, etc.

The first one would be the plank as it works the core, lower back, glutes, thigs and hamstrings. The second one would be squats as it works the whole upper leg and finally the third one would be tricep curls as they will help get rid of any bingo wings.

Once again, a sales question. The employer probably won't want to hear that you're going to wait for new clients to simply walk in the door.

I did help a lot of friends to train well if you have a look at almost all my high school friends everyone is ripped or big or even competing in bodybuilding shows because they were inspired by me..I was always there for all my friends either with a fitness program or being there trainer.

Nutrition is massively important as it is the key to recovery from fitness and increasing fitness. Yes I would suggest a better diet as if a client wants to lose weight they will need to eat less fatty foods and and carbs where as a body builder will need to increase their carbs and protein in their diet. Diets will vary on what the client wants to achieve.

PE should never be taught in isolation! I like to talk to classroom teachers to find out what their students are interested in, which students especially need a chance to take on leadership roles or get energy out, and what they are studying in class.

before moving on to do another group of two exercises.

When employed in weight lifting, alternating between different exercises might be referred to as ‘super-setting’.

Actually this is my second career and neither of my jobs lived up to my childhood dream of racing car driver (it took me three attempts to pass my driving test so obviously it wasn't meant to be!).
