I would like to think that everyone could "come together" to reach a common ground, because it seems that people are getting more and more unhealthy despite how hard we try to get the message across.<BR/><BR/>But I still want the cracker-jack trainers out of the picture :D<BR/><BR/>Keep it up!<BR/>Sarah E.

The rising obesity trend of children should fully capture the attention, not the need for one more person telling US how to be.<BR/><BR/>That attention is best suited for our society, who clearly needs the regulation more than us!<BR/><BR/>LET'S GET IT!<BR/>Sharyn<BR/><BR/>Fitness Fusion Training<BR/>http://fftrain.comFusion Fit Sharynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12504789772524771571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692958226539023018.post-42251064241249761392008-12-07T08:11:00.000-08:002008-12-07T08:11:00.000-08:00Good Post Rick!I agree with you, the energy spent ...Good Post Rick!<BR/><BR/>I agree with you, the energy spent on trying to regulate the industry via the government could be better spent on educating instead of mandating additional requirements to work.<BR/><BR/>Our industry is closely watched by IDEA, ACE, NASM, NSCA , ACSM and others who take their position to educate and certify seriously. <BR/><BR/>We do not need more certifying or regulating bodies, we need grass roots promotion to reach society and finally get a grasp on obesity, as it is at a 61% occurrence in the current adult population! <BR/><BR/>LET'S GET IT!<BR/>Sharyn<BR/><BR/>Fitness Fusion Training<BR/>http://fftrain.comFusion Fit Sharynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12504789772524771571noreply@blogger.com
