Is Your Trainer Asking You These Questions?
If not, and if he/she is not getting a recent medical history, dump them.
Mine are more extensive than this, the training interview last at least one hour and can often involve spouses, family members, input from physicians, etc. What are your goals concerning weight and exercise? Do these seem realistic to you? What behavioral changes are you ready to make right now? (eg, give up smoking, start an exercise program, change my eating habits) Are there any behaviors you do not feel ready to work on right now? Have you tried making lifestyle changes in the past? What has kept you from succeeding in the past? What are you willing to change to become successful this time? Is there anything preventing you from exercising? (eg, unsafe neighborhood, cost, access, support system) Considering everything else going on in your life right now, is this truly the right time to make a serious lifestyle change? Can you set a specific date when you will be ready to begin? Are you able to devote time each day (eg, 15-30 min) toward planning and achieving your goals? What do you need or want from others to help you succeed? (eg, support from family and friends, enrollment in an exercise class, transportation to and from Weight Watchers meetings, help with menu planning) Do you feel comfortable asking for help? What are you willing to do right now? Let's discuss the specific behaviors you are going to address first. How confident are you, on a scale of 1-10, that you will be able to meet each of these goals? How can I help you with this? (Provide referrals to other specialists as indicated.) Just in case it's needed, what kind of back-up plan can we develop if your plans are not working as well as we hoped? And last and perhaps most important, can you purchase a treadmill and a dumbbell set (with a power rack close behind) with an inclining bench. Will you have room for these in our domicile? |

some events that -
without this precis - seem to take place in a vacuum: motiveless, random, out of place; yet in Exner's case, recurring at regular intervals. As we shall see the promulgators of the following, are very aware of the results of the Church Committee. Exner To The Rescue The committee had found that Hoover had a meeting with President Kennedy on March 22, 1962. Through his investigation of Sam Giancana, the Director had discovered that an acquaintance of his - Campbell - had called Kennedy at the White House on numerous occasions. Once Kennedy was told of this, the calls to the White House stopped. Campbell's name was included in the first draft of the report. But in deference to her privacy and the fact that she denied ever communicating any messages between the two, the committee - by a unanimous vote - did not name her in the final draft. She was referred to there as a "close friend." Some staffers, perhaps the CIA plants to which Marchetti referred, leaked her name to the Washington Post. Significantly, four days before the final report was issued, the Post printed her name in an article about her. This did the trick. The |
