As trainers we are looked at as the ones who have all the answers to your questions regarding health & fitness.
Well, here’s the bad news. Not really.
Although I have met many that will act like and tell you that they don’t have anymore to learn. I am very skeptical of anyone who has all the answers. Personally, I hope I never stop learning.
I was asked today by another trainer about metabolic rate, and how to measure metabolism. He was with one of his clients and they were wrestling with different ideas.
