As a health and fitness writer and personal trainer, I am constantly asked questions regarding fitness, weight loss, diet, strength training and more. Most of my clients want to learn about introductory fitness concepts, not bodybuilding techniques or quick-fix diets. These essential details are often glanced over or assumed in fitness videos, books and websites, yet they are the most important questions to ask!
My most frequently asked questions deal with issues like:
- Where do I start working out?
- Why do I need strength training?
- How do I read a food label?
- What is the “core” and why is it important?
- Will women bulk up from lifting weights?
- What is a good source of protein besides chicken?
- How do I fit exercise into my schedule?
- How can I exercise and eat right on a budget?
Trainer Confidential is my attempt to answer these questions (and many more!) and demystify the process of losing weight and staying healthy, especially for those of you just beginning an exercise program!
We all have questions about what to eat, how to exercise at home, how to lose weight successfully, etc. And let’s be honest – weight loss is difficult, even when you know what you’re doing. To be successful, you don’t need to drop hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars on gym memberships and diet books. You just need the right information. Trainer Confidential can arm you with the resources you need to take control – without ever having to step foot in a gym. Think of this website as your own personal trainer, and let’s reach your goals together!
The questions you see on this site are from clients, friends, family and readers like you who want real answers and actual solutions. My answers are based on my own education, research, and personal experience with training clients, nutrition, and losing weight (I struggled with my own weight for years before I became a trainer).
My hope is that this website becomes an active discussion about healthy living, so please share your own thoughts and tips on the subjects presented. And don’t forget to send me your fitness questions – just click on the Contact page!
Thank you for reading! I look forward to hearing from you,
Nicole Gauvin, Trainer Confidential
