best way to determine whether or not that trainer has a grounded knowledge of his or her trade is simply by looking at their body. Regardless of certifica- tions or degrees, are they in shape or overweight? Is there a flat tire around the belly? Lets face it, many trainers today are fat, especially the multi-degreed, "Master Trainers" at the large, Walmart-style gyms! I maintain an online photographic diary as a means to visually adjudicate my pro- gress. It's a way for me to judge how far I have come physically, and where my next goal needs to be set. In many cases, a picture does speak louder than words, and in the world of fitness, it allows you to determine if your eating is propelling you toward your goal (or not). As the old saying goes, you are what you eat. You need to find a photo - a fitness goal photo - of a body type you wish to use as a canvas on which to build; you also need to take a before photo and then maintain a collection of photos to see if your loosing body fat and gaining muscle. You also need to find a photo of the body type you want. Check out this page for ideas. My objective as a trainer is to set the standard, lead by example and help the client set their own fitness goals.
