Would anybody like help with an exercise program?
Disclaimer: I am not a registered dietician. I am not (yet) a personal trainer, nor an exercise physiologist. I'm just a student, and want to try to give advice to those who are struggling. I take no responsibility of damages. ^Please^don't^sue^me.
I'm studying exercise science and I'm taking my test to become a certified personal trainer in like 3 weeks, so I'd really enjoy the practice in writing exercise prescriptions and helping anyone who may be struggling on where to start with exercise.
So if anyone is interested, send me a PM or post here and I'll see what I can do to help out. :)
EDIT: Okay this is already blowing up more than I expected so I’m just going to post this here. You can either post it here or PM me. :) (Everyone who's already posted here or messaged me, I sent this to you already so check your messages.)
