ZaCH asked:

Well I’m in 7th grade, 13, and 103 lb. I am really thin and skinny. Especially on my hips and torso. My arms and legs are skinny too, so its basically everything. I used to swim with my shirt on when I was little and now I never do because I know I’m really skinny and I don’t like to let other people see me. Sort of ridiculous, I know, but its true. We are required to take gym and change in front of others next year too so I kinda need to gain some weight or muscle by September of this year. I do exercises like every day, but I can’t even tell if its making me skinnier or get more muscles. I don’t eat much so that is a definite problem. Anything I can do diet wise and fitness wise to make me gain muscle and weight? Please don’t tell me to get a gym membership and buy equipment because I’m only 13. I don’t have any equipment to work out so I need some different ideas for workouts if I need them.

Dolkite asked:

I have a B.A. in English, which has only gotten me boring admin jobs, and I am seriously considering going back to school. I identified physical therapy as a possible second career although I have no background in it. I am interested in fitness and nutrition and also enjoy helping people in a non-customer service setting. I guess the best way of saying it is that that I have a great deal of patience.

I am unsure if this is a viable career path for me; a big part of why I am considering this is because it would be steady, well-paid work. Can anyone give me a bit of background regarding training, the job market, and the general daily duties of a PT?

Strong_All_Along asked:

I’m female, 19, & currently in community college. I’m going to apply for a 2-year Army ROTC scholarship about a few months short of one year from now. I have a 4.0 GPA, I’m going to join school clubs such as Student Government and Phi Theta Kappa (Honors Society). I’m also going to volunteer at a local hospital. So I think I’m competitive as far as grades & extracurriculars go. But as for my fitness, I’m struggling, I can only run about a half of a mile before I have to walk. I can only do about 20 sit ups & I can only do about 10 push ups. I go to the gym every other day & run as much as I can & do sit ups & push ups. What else can I do?? Need to be above APFT standards with in one year from now to attend LTC. Is there really anything else I could be doing to help me improve faster? Any help is appreciated! If I continue what I’m doing now, do you think I could pass the APFT in time?
I’m within weight standards, I’m 5′ 8.5″ & weight 155 lbs.

Charlie asked:

I would think the sales poeple would all bodybuilders at golds gym.
other gyms and fitness centers I understand, but shouldnt gold be for bodybuilders only?
It was when it was founded.
I get sick of poeple going to the gym half ass or talking or acting lazy and sloppy then staring at me and making me feel uncomfortable giving me dirty looks when I’m training like an animal sweating and trying to work hard. Its sometimes unmotivating.
any suggestions??
I work out at home now because of this. My gym doesnt have any serious people like me. maybe a few. but not a lot. the only gym that does is 40 minutes away.
so far all of you have completely misunderstood my question (s) in this post.
one more rude naive answer and I will leave yahoo answers for good.
