I joined here but I am having trouble figuring everything out. for example, how do i start a fitness program? I would just like someone to explain and be there to answer questions for me. it would be nice :)

Fill in the info and see if it's ok for you. Do you go to a gym? Or work out at home?

Being in good health will give you energy. What is in Trim Spa? Caffiene? green tea extract? Ma huang? What is giving you that energy? -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.

Get your money's worth and insist on an induction You can injure yourself if you haven't been shown how to use the machines properly (and you could probably sue the gym!) - Just remind them of this if they seem reluctant!

"Get your money's worth and insist on an induction " Most gyms give you an intro to all the equipment. Especially now with all the high tech programs on the machines, also the point of safety.

danyells Posts: 3 Joined: 2004/03/20	2004/03/21, 03:36 PM yah well one time i asked a guy that works at my gym and he told me about the trainers they have but i dont have that kind of money. so now i just do what i know how to do. i dont know if i would trust any kind of pill like that. im always worried about whats in them and the side effects. is there even such thing as a healthy energy or diet pill? i mean one that is not bad for you?
