Great post, very insightful.

I totally agree with rambodoc, TV watching is a MAJOR problem. When I was a kid we were always outside, but it seems kids need to be entertained these days, rather than making their own entertainment, it’s very sad!

Great post, as many others before!
In childhood obesity, two things most important in terms of intervention that have been revealed in studies are physical activity (yawn! who would have known?!) and television watching. It is a good idea to stop kids watching TV. This is all the more if TV dinners are the norm.

Stephen,

You’re right about that. Most trainers rely on the gym’s coverage.

Personally, I carry $2 million in liability insurance.

God forbid anything ever happened to one of my clients, but with today’s medical costs, I wonder how quickly even that amount would get spent.

#3 is especially important these days. Also make sure that your trainer has personal trainer insurance before you begin working with them.
