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.)

To start, I need to know your:

General stats:

  5. Body fat % if you know it:

  2. What is your goal?

  3. Are you currently active right now? If so, what does your current program look like?

  4. Do you own or have access to a heart rate monitor?

  5. What is your resting heart rate? You can use a heart rate monitor, or check yourself but taking your pulse for 15 seconds and multiplying the number of beats by 4.

I know this is a pain in the butt to answer these questionaries, but it’s for your safety!

  6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?

  7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?

  8. Do you smoke?

  9. (Women) Are you currently pregnant or trying to become pregnant?

  10. Do you have asthma or any other pulmonary condition? (COPD, Chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, etc)

  11. Are you diabetic or pre-diabetic? Type I or type II.

  12. Has anyone in your immediate family (Mother, father, sister or brother) died of result of a stroke or heart attack? If so, who and what age?
