Reaching out for a Helping Hand

Approaching 1000 Pages!

My fingers feel like a sweat shop worker in a 3rd world country.  I’ve been literally working my fingers down to the bone for the past year and half.  I have accomplished almost everything I have set out to do but there a few more things I need to do before the website is in cruise control and I can focus on new projects.

Looking for Personal Trainer Article Writers

I am making an effort for AskTheTrainer.com to become more interactive for not only the website guests but also for the writers.  I feel I have covered enough and created enough to keep most people interested beginner to late intermediate general fitness for a long time so I’m going to begin to create sub sites for special interests.

Bodybuilding.AskTheTrainer.com

You can visit the design scheme but there is no articles at this point.  Many online bodybuilding websites are based loosely on facts of science and more on anecdotal evidence or ‘bro science’ and it will be interesting to see how bodybuilding takes on a different light in the eyes of certified personal trainers.

I require a copy of the personal trainer’s personal training or strength & conditioning certification before I accept any articles.  The best part for trainers who write for AskTheTrainer.com  is they can become part of the featured Best Online Personal Trainer program which is currently in development and get paid well to write personal workout programs for clients.

Applied AppalledNutrition.com

The site is currently under development.  I contacted my friend Rich Lee who is an amazing graphic designer and I highly recommend for any graphic design or illustration work to hopefully create a header worthy of the scope of the site.

I communicate with many personal trainers online at internet forums and there is no surprise to me that they have little tolerance for the poor aspects of the fitness, nutrition and dietary supplement industries.  Applied Appalled Nutrition is going to be a community blog which is going to break down everything from incorrect information posted on internet forums, to misleading advertisements, to magazine articles to what personal trainers hear on a daily basis from clients.

Once I get to know a poster I will give them a username and password to the blog’s posting control panel.  Posters will also be able to post via email which is the same concept as Answers.AskTheTrainer.com although I will moderate the posts to make sure no spam or BS goes live.
