I Am Trying To Open A New Business And I Am 16 How Old Do You Need To Be To Start Working Towards Getting A License? Please Help!

You have to be 18 in the United states to own your own business. I’m also pretty sure you have to be 18 to be certified as a personal trainer though I’m sure you could begin working through the testing materials right away.

I recently learned that the owner of a fitness training facility is training kids without the proper license and certificates. There are some states that do not require personal trainers to obtain one, but it is a must in this particular state. Who do I report this to? Thanks in advance.

The Better Business Bureau, your state department of labor, and/or your local district attorney's office.

It depends.

I want to purchase a single piece of workout equipment that offers aerobic activity but will also tone muscle. I want to burn fat and calories and tone my muscles without bulking up.

I have been running on a treadmill in our apartment complex gym, and love the results. But I was wondering if something like an elliptical machine would offer the same results or better without the wear and tear on my body caused by running?

All you need are dumbbells. Use light dumbbells to make the treadmill harder. You can also do high intensity interval training like that. Then with heavier dumbbells you can do a full body basic weight lifting routine a couple times a week to tone your muscles. Don't worry, you can't bulk up without steroids. You will gain some muscle, but you won't look big at all. It will also help you gain bone density and keep your joints healthy. This will help you avoid osteoperosis and stiff joints when you get older.

I do like elipticals. I do my intervals on those. You just switch between a high and low setting. Why not get get both. Adjustable dumbbells are cheap anyway.

I have a recumbent stationary bike for home use, and it stinks! There is no removable parts to wash. I assume the smell is in the seat and back and the grip things on the handles, but dont know what to do to remove it.

Lysol was the best answer if you don’t wish to get your hands wet. If you don’t mind, then try a bucket of water w/bleach and your favorite scented anything after. Wipe down EVERYTHING on the bike especially those things you believe may be hosting the scent. Use VERY hot water so that it dries rather quickly. Then spray it with your favorite scented spray or wipe it down with your favorite scented oil.

I am looking for in home equipment for cardio. I have never owned a piece of gym equipment. I am on a budget and definately don't want a treadmill. I have quite a bit of weight to lose and am in my twenties. What would be good for me? An Elliptical, Stair Climber, what else? Also, what is a good brand to look for that is not overly expensive?

A jump rope helps alot and its cheap, builds cardio and burns calories. And you can take it anywhere.

I am building a GYM at my Hotel and I need the best of the best

The places I have been all seem to use Precor.

Please include the brand name and everything.
It can also be videos, I would like to know the name of it.

a membership to the gym.
besides that, a set of exercise bands from jumpstretch.com. theyre expensive, but they most definately work when you use them as an additional tool to work out with.
