Creative Potty Training
When I was potty training my two young boys, I discovered this method of potty training that made it an enjoyable, yet very effective way to potty train toddlers.First, make sure your child is ready for potty training, shows interest, wants "big kids pants" etc.
If they show no signs of readiness, it may be best to let them mature a bit more.
Make this a game, make it fun and you will not run into stubborn opposition (after all it is the child's body). Go out and buy or find around the house items you don't normally let your child play with.
Some examples might be toys that can be used in water (3 or 4 things), like little plastic pitchers, balls, tiny cups, whatever, but make them SPECIAL.
The only real rule to this game is these special "potty" toys can only be played with while the child is sitting on the potty!
This is very important; no breaking this one rule, or it won't work. Once the child is sitting on the potty fill a large bowl or...

Bridging the Gap: The Top 5 Fitness Secrets for Housewives and Athletes

"How can an athlete and a housewife train the same way?"Here is your answer: Because each of them works diligently towards their respective goals using the same time-proven training techniques that you are about to learn. The goals of an athlete may be different than those of a housewife, but the science behind the training program is exactly the same.EXERCISESIf your goal was to bench press the heaviest weight in history would it help you to take ballet classes?

Health Club Owners: 4 Ways The Personal Training Department Can Improve Your Bottom Line
Copyright 2006
The Fitness Consulting Group
In most health clubs the personal training department is viewed as a source of some additional cash flow and is focused on the affluent component of the clubs member base.
Typically trainers will offer an assessment to new members and will only impact the club's bottom line by selling packages to those members who can afford one, two or even three sessions per week training.
Unfortunately, this is very shortsighted.
A well-structured personal training department can be much more than a profit center impacting only a small segment of your club's member base, it can be your club's customer service center, referral and retention center and a source of as much as 25% of your club's gross revenues all rolled up intro one.
You just have to look for ways to maximize your trainers' impact in your club.
Here are four tips to get you started.

Maximum Muscle Development with Chaos Training
(May be reprinted freely if linked to www.ExerciseCertification.com)Chaos is the scientific study of orderly disorder. It offers a way of seeing order and pattern where formerly only the random, the erratic, and the unpredictable (viz., the chaotic) had been observed. If a rock cliff is inspected, with its many jagged and irregular patterns splitting off in all directions, it can be concluded that the rock's pattern appears the same whether looking at 100 square feet or 1-square inch of area. Hence, although the overall structure appears different, i.e. the divergences and measure of rock cut, the fragments that constitute the composition maintain close resemblance.
Consequently, although chaotic in appearance, its nature is predictable and purposeful. Similarly, exercise can be very chaotic yet predictable, ever changing from one workout to the next but with direction... extreme variety coupled with standardization for purposes of sufficient measurement and comparison.Chaos TrainingTM...
