Jenscats Road to Recovery Log

[*Bunny*]

I my massage therapist ... I wish you were close, I'd buy you a session b/c, well your JC

 

[2dagym]

There are a couple discussions on here about that - I bought all the stuff for a NESTA cert more for craps & giggles than anything and almost did a cert for training at Bally's but couldnt' get the time off to do the Bally's trainer prep.

I think the ACE cert is the most common one required for training at a gym.

I might actually boot this question up to HH - who is now the queen of all PTs at World Gym locally here.

I'm gonna look for some of the posts about that question - but my own experience - I've worked w/ people w/ some different certs & lots of veterans of the BB competition community. The certs become less important at the level I'm looking at for my purposes. My biggest complaint is that they don't really address diet, but then there are huge liabilities for people to give out diet recommendations who are not qualified nutrition / diet experts. So, for me, hard to say.

Thanks, if you learn any more I'd be interested in knowing

Hey thanks!! Appreciate that....

It's amazing how bizarre the Electric Stim is!! They plaster two sticky-flat things onto my quad & turn it on.....I have to sit for about 12 mins with 12 secs on, 50 secs off of stim.....feels like a swarm of bees attacking me.....I'd rather do squats....

I had a lot of the electro stim on my lower back for rehab. Its pretty weird feeling.
