With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I'm just about to start college (hopefuly with the fall semester), and I'm interested in becoming a personal trainer/health and fitness expert. Basically, I was wondering if anyone might have some helpful input as to what sort of courses will be necessary for this, or even if it's necessary, and /or worthwhile to go to college for it. I know you can get certified for it, but is becoming full-on college educated for it much better, and how would I go about it? Thanks a LOT in advance.

Getting a background will help with any area. Good Luck. ============= Thanks a lot! I'm actually interested, and looking into all the details of, becoming a fully certified personal trainer, as well as a chef, so hopefully with all that, I'll have all the necessary tools to formulate a completely healthy lifestyle for anyone I train. I figure if I'm a personal trainer, that will help with the exercise portions, and being a full-on cook/chef will help with the nutrition parts, since I'm looking into also taking some nutritional courses. Any other feedback is more than welcome, since this is pretty shaky ground for me. Thanks!
