Question: What level of fitness is required before you start taking Tai Kwan Do? I'm just begining to get in shape, and I've got a long way to go. How in shape do you have to be to be able to keep up in a beginner's Tai Kwan Do class? What fitness "landmarks" should I be able to reach to be successful?

Answer: Note: It's spelt Tae Kwon Do. (The guy who reposted first claiming to be a black belt should have noticed that). You don't have to be of any particular standard to start TKD. The training will make you fit. The more you train, the fitter you get. It's all about going at your own pace and reaching your own goals, not someone elses. Go to the frequentlly asked questions part at www.tagb.biz if you have any questions. If in doubt, speak to your local TKD instructor.

Question: What is your vision of a fitness program? I am a coordinator for a university and was just given permission to start my own fitness program. It can be for anyone, students, community, staff. I wanted to know ideas of things people would want in a fitness program. How can I make the best one possible. Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.

Answer: You've got a wide range of ages and types, not to mention whether you want both sexes in your group. What type of program do you want? Since you are the one leading it, where do you want this to go? How physical do you want it to be? What level of intensity do you see this program being? You may need to have two or three programs at different days. Do you want weights or resistance machines, cardio only or a mix of both? What's your budget? What can you do? How big is your facility? Check out local exercise programs already in the area, like the local Curves or Jazzercise places. Locate and talk to some independent gym owners. Get ideas and then do an impromptu survey to see what your clientele would like and how much time they have to do it per day. Then, get your results together and do that. You may not be successful right away but you will catch on and go from there. Also, you may want to check out the U.S. Army and other military branches. Bases have very transient groups but have workout programs for enlisted personnel and their dependents. I understand that over the last few years they have become very user friendly and very duplicatable. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

Question: What is the difference between a fitness and bike and a road bike? I am a regular mountain biker, but like to road-ride, too. However, my full-suspension is way too much drama for the pavement and even my hardtail is too heavy for efficient road travel. I want something lighter and better suited. The problem is, I am not super fond of the "feel" of road bikes. I saw that Trek (my fave) had "fitness" bikes and "urban" bikes and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what are the advantages/disadvantages to choosing a fitness or urban bike over a road bike? THANKS! :) Just to add, a fitness bike is not a stationary bike. It is an actual style of bicycle like urban, road, mountain, triathalon, etc. I was just hoping that someone had some info on what might be better suited for me. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Answer: Okay, here goes, a Road bike is a race inspired design. It has you in an "attack" position the whole time regardless of how you place your hands on the bars. The frames are MUCH lighter than MTBs and the tires are much thinner as well (obvious). What is NOT completely obvious is the change in the riding position. The seatpost is higher and the stems/hb is positioned so that you are more erect but arched forward as well. The hybrids, aka fitness bikes/urban bikes are basically a mixture of MTB and road bikes. They are using the geometry of MTB but the concepts/ideals of a road bike. The wheels on a hybrid are 700 cc which is similar to a road bike but the tire size is actually a little bit wider and thicker. (instead of 18-25, it is 32-38). The riding position is similar to that of a MTB with a little more relaxed feeling and not an attack position. The components actually go both ways. Some models have MTB components while some have Road bike components. That depends, however, on how high of a model you get. Some, also have carbon fiber distributed throughout the frame/fork while others are fully rigid. Sometimes you'll find a suspension seatpost but on "fitness" bikes it is usually a rigid fork. Weight wise, the hybrids range from 20-25lbs but are actually surprisingly fast. Trek, Giant, Specialized, Cannondale and a couple others all offer hybrids now. Pros: hybrids are cheaper and have the same basic concept of getting from point A to point B quickly but comfortably but still a nice ride to work out with. The geometry is very similar to a MTB. Faster than MTB. Not much maintenance required if you take care of it. Cons: Not as light as a road bike. Components can be cheapy if not purchasing a good model. Can be as expensive as road bikes if purchasing a good model. I have both MTB's and Road bikes and I love both. I just love to ride regardless of what bike it is. However, there is a HUGE difference between the two. If you just want to get from point A to point B, I say get a hybrid. If you want a cardio work out and get HUGE legs, get a road bike. It took me a while to break down and buy a road bike. I owned only MTBs for years but decided to finally give it a shot after starting to work at a bike shop. I like both but nothing beats MTBs. Go to a dealer and try them both out, hybrids and road bikes. Ride it for a while and see if you can see yourself getting comfortable on a road bike. If not, your choice is pretty much made up. If so... well.... questions... questions... questions... and price... price...price. Good luck mate.

Question: What is a good fitness dvd for loosing weight? I want to loose about 20 pounds in 1 month. I am very lazy and I would like to get a fitness dvd that is helpful but you don't have to work as hard. Unlike the Jillian Michael's dvd. Thankyou very much.

Answer: pretty much if you want to lose weight and do it the healthy way, you can't be lazy. i know its hard to start getting motivated, but what kinds of things have you tried? and why cant you get motivated? things that help motivated are working out with a friend, switching up your exercises and workout programs and activities so it doesnt get monotonous and boring. i always try to get my friend to go running with me and he's so lazy! but he hates it because it's not fun and its boring. so, he happens to LOVE racquetball, so we play that for up to 3 hours some days. dont feel bad about not wanting to bust you ass for hours a day because most people dont want to do that. but you really are going to have to challenge yourself a little if you want to lose weight. make it fun and be creative and hopefully that will help. like the person above, Jillian Michaels is GREAT!!! her stuff is definitely hard but do it with someone else. her dvd "30 day shred" is awesome. its only 20 minutes long but its hard and definitely pays off. also, tae bo is great too. if you like dancing, find a dancing dvd that will burn calories. good luck and hopefully this helps.

Question: What are the requirements for being a fitness instructor? I would like to be a fitness teacher. One that teaches classes at a fitness center, & not a personal trainer. But I wasnt sure if certifications were mandatiory.

Answer: In most cases your local community college will be able to answer that question. The reason for this is that every state has it's own guidelines to be certified.

Question: What are the basic fitness requirements to be a Cop? When you go into the Police Academy you have to be able to pass their Fitness Test or whatever. What are some basic things you have to do in this test, and how many push ups, pull ups, and sit ups and whatever.

Answer: This will vary, but the requirements should be provided to anyone who inquires. Very, very early in my time on Yahoo Answers, I was able to find the requirements for one city on their website to answer a similar question -- so if you tell me which force you are attempting to learn about, I might be able to find it. I also had a patient who was moving across the country to join he force in a major city on the West coast, and he had hearing loss from military service. Fortunately, their guidelines were very specific, and he was actually able to meet there criteria. Of course these requirements are to for ENTRY to the academy or force -- they don't seem to perform routine fitness evaluations! LOL!
