The Tin Man Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Those are some good updates after 9 months, now get on that debt!I've thought about getting a Personal Trainer Certification too. Do you know which one you'd go for? Unfortunately I know that isn't the type of test I could walk in cold and do well in...

tasty` Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 congrats on your progress, it's nice to see people making headway with their goals.How is the Rebel t3 i was planning on buying that Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Level 2 Human Adventurer My Bucket List/Epic Quest || Tasty's Reckoning: Becoming Bane | Str: 6 | Dex: 5.75 | Sta: 5 | Con: 5 | Wis: 10 | Cha: 7 | Link to comment
Mama T Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 thanks guys! Tin Man - i'm going for the ACSM. seemed like a respectable certification to get. I've got all of the materials needed to study, but i'm not very good at studying on my own, so it's hard for me to figure out what to study and when. need to come up with some sort of breakdown of info, i think.tasty - the rebel t3 is awesome. it was recommended by a professional photog friend b/c it is incredibly user-friendly and therefore good for beginners. it's really fun to play with the settings, and super easy to figure out what each one does. i definitely recommend it.

The Tin Man Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 mmm.. I may look at ACSM as well. I don't really have the time to study now though, at least it'd be lower on my priority totem pole. Quote The Tin Man: Cyborg Ranger Tin Man's Out of Date Epic Quest I am what I do. Link to comment
Mama T Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 mmm.. I may look at ACSM as well. I don't really have the time to study now though, at least it'd be lower on my priority totem pole.yeah i kind of feel the same way. with work, grad classes, working out, and other stuff, it's hard to get motivation to use any free time to study for something else. but i've been talking about PT certification for like 2 years... i just need to buck up and do it! work hard now, then work hard later, and then party after that!

aj_rock Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 What are you studying? Last I checked, dietician was a full out university degree, at least round these hurr parts.

Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment
Mama T Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 What are you studying? Last I checked, dietician was a full out university degree, at least round these hurr parts.AJ, the dietician degree would be a couple years. that's completely separate from what i'm studying now (master's in management). my BA is in Journalism, so the dietician thing is one that would require lots of pre-reqs and courses and internships, etc. Quote ...we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment.

aj_rock Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Ah ok, I thought you were talking about taking a course not unlike PT Masters in management eh? I'm looking into doing an MBA myself...
