Recently I’ve been thinking about getting a personal trainer certification. I don’t necessarily want to be a personal trainer — although it sounds fun, it would be a hell of a pay cut. But I do want to legitimize some of the things I’ve figured out over the years, and I definitely like the idea of helping people get in better shape. Here in Los Angeles, it’s easy to forget that people are horrifyingly out of shape in the rest of the world. But as soon as I step out of the westside of LA, it becomes pretty clear that people either don’t know how to take care of themselves or don’t care.
I am also pretty appalled at the insane industry that has built up around scamming fat people out of their money while offering nothing but junk products, junk food and junk advice in return. Taking care of yourself isn’t rocket science, but for some people it kind of seems that way.
So, in my spare time, I’ll be posting some of the stuff I’ve figured out over the years.
