I am completly lost on this assignment. I need to chose a decision support system that will help a fitness center track which activities it’s members are doing, and also help the members plan a fitness program to meet their particular needs. Can anyone please help?

How do I start a fitness program based on ’skipping’?

Mishelle D asked:


I run/jog most days of the week, but recently felt like a change and saw this as a way of adding some variety to my fitness routine.

Approximately how many minutes a day should I start off with? I tried to do it continuously for about 10, but found I cold only manage 5 - it is so strenuous, but also fun!!

I am a coordinator for a university and was just given permission to start my own fitness program. It can be for anyone, students, community, staff. I wanted to know ideas of things people would want in a fitness program. How can I make the best one possible. Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.

How do I start a career in fitness?

Written by healthys on February 9th, 2009

Karen H asked:


I am making a career change, from law to fitness. Fitness has been a lifelong passion of mine. As a kid, I skied (and taught skiing), danced (and taught dance), and ran. As an adult, I go to the gym 5 times a week; I do cardio, lift weights, go to classes, swim. I worked at a Y for a while, directing a youth fitness program (unfortunately the Y doesn’t pay well enough). I have some Y certifications, and a BA that is totally unrelated to fitness (in economics), so I’m basically starting out from scratch. I don’t know exactly what kind of career in fitness I might like to pursue… what are the options? I am looking for any and all starter tips. Classes, certifications, books, DVDs, websites/forums… anything to get my new career path started. Also, feel free to email me if you have lots of advice or if you think you can help/mentor. Thanks!
