Well today I found out that the top ranking sites on google selling camcorders at discount prices were selling Chinese versions with no English. I was shocked that companies are allowed to do that. They didn't mention that anywhere on their site. I called about 5 or 6 of them and I got tremendously rude and pathetic service. ShopCartUSA.com bestpricedcameras.com bwayphoto.com techondigital.com you all suck, and should burn in hell, and I hate your guts and hope you all go out of business.
Yesterday I came across another one of my least favorite things. When you're driving down the street or riding your bicycle even, and someone with a street tank, comes to a complete stop to go up a driveway. Ridiculous, they may be driving an hummer H8 with a 400 horsepower engine and 30 inch mud bog tires or a Ford F950 or whatever. You are responsible for our country going to war and you can't even drive up a diveway. You suck and I hate you!
This brings me to the ultimate. I haven't drove in over a year and a half but I still have nightmares of this one. Have you ever been driving in the fast lane and come across a sportscar that probably cost $200,000 and you get stuck behind them. I would usually have to pass them on the right with my 3 cylinder Geo Metro. My point is, if you have a 400 Horsepower BMW m20 either drive fast or get the hell out of the way. If you are a driver of a nice car and drive slow, you should be stripped of your divers license and your car should be given to me, so I can drive as fast as you should be.
I hate you and I'm sure your car does too. You suck!

personal trainer Constantly Learning, Promoting & Sitting on my Butt
Promoting a website is very time consuming. Starting off there is a lot of entering and re-entering your personal data. I have spent the last 3 hours submitting a single article to article directories. From my limited experience and knowledge I have learned that this is a great way to get your name out there. I haven't even worked on my website fitsf.com today. But I did post a link to my fitness icons page on Digg.com Hopefully people will like it.
I also have a paid article for a website I have to write by the beginning of next week. This is a huge challenge for me because I not only have to divulge a lot of information, I also have to keep the reader's attention and interest. My article is personal training related and since I'm a personal trainer and not a writer it will be very difficult for me.
All this website stuff is tremendously exciting for me. I can see a future of less work and more free time if I continue to get this web stuff going. The only problem is realistically it will take a year or two. At my current pace of spending hours in front of this computer and not getting paid but pennies, I risk the possibility of burnout.
Identifying this is part of the solution, but I know I have to act as well. I need to find some balance and it starts with exercising smart and eating less. I have been eating like a sumo lately with a friend in town and not exercising much. If I exercise intensely for short amounts of time, I shouldn't get too hungry. This will be good because my overall activity level is way down.
Maybe when the weather gets warm again I will start being more active but for now I need to tone down my diet and eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and lean protein. I shouldn't eat out except for social situations. I have personal training today at 5 until 9 so I need to get to the gym within the next hour. Since I lifted weights yesterday I will do my 1st cardio session in almost a week today.
WORKOUT
Today I will focus on cardio. Since I haven't did any intense cardio in almost a week, I may take it easy. I have some Kanji (Japanese characters) I need to study for my Saturday morning class so I may choose to get on a machine and work at about 65% of my max heart rate.
I have been mentioning this in my blog very often. If your body is tired or not accustomed to an intense workout, progression is key. Start at a manageable measurable level on a cardio machine and complete your session. You can build on it and next time attempt a more difficult level.

Personal Training on a Rainy Day
I have 10 minutes to get to the gym and of course I'm procrastinating. I am heading there 15 minutes early because one of my clients comes early to do a little cardio before our session. It is good because it gives me some time to prepare some personal training sessions for later in the day.
Got done with all my training sessions and now I'm in writing mode. I'm trying to partition my time between my Japanese studies, writing articles, working on websites, and unfortunately a video game. I got back into this game on my PS3 called God of War II which is a mindless action game based on Greek Mythology. I'm a huge fan of Greek Mythology so when I play it and make progress, I can't stop.
I just finished submitting some articles to ezinearticles.com They are not my best work, but I looked at some of the other articles in the same field and compared to those mine are masterpieces. I will now look at a program that will submit the same articles to multiple websites. It will be a great way to get my name out there in cyberspace. I am still wondering if I should post my articles on fitSF.com or HealthandFitnessRx.com though.
WORKOUT
I had an hour break in between clients today. I spent the first 25 minutes doing some bench press and lat pulls along with seated rows. I just loaded 225 on the bar and did about 7 sets of 5 with little rest as possible. I supersetted those with different angle back exercises. I finished with a set of biceps and a set of triceps on dumbbells and cables respectively.

"Fine Dining" is Overrated! for the Personal Trainer
I may as well ad eating out to the list as well. After going to this restaurant Boulevard in the financial district I am sitting here writing somewhat disappointed. The place was nice and the food good, but I would say with 100% confidence it was not worth $100+ to eat it.
I would probably feel the same right now if I went to an Indian buffet, bloated, sleepy , tired, and painfully full. The difference is if I went to an Indian buffet I would not be a couple hundred dollars poorer. We Went for a birthday party so I think it's justified but I don't think I want to goto "fine dining" establishments unless it's a social thing. To me it is like spitting in the face of all the poor people.
Speaking of poor people, I learned something last night that made me bad. Every so often I see homeless people begging for money by trying to sell you this fake newspaper called the Street Sheet. I obviously scoffed at these people just as most people do to beggars in the streets here in San Francisco. I found out last night though that the paper is put out so it gives the homeless a quasi legitimate way to earn money.
From now on I will be sure to give the homeless people selling the Street Sheet a dollar or two. I will also spread the word about the Street Sheet to all my personal training clients.
Today is the 2nd to last day my friend Nuchie from NYC is in town. We are going to tour some sites around the city and maybe Marin county. I haven't been working on my blogs or web presence lately but a break is a good thing.
WORKOUT
I haven't been working out either very much, but a break sometimes can be a good thing.

A Blog so Nice, Gotta do it Twice!
My friend Nuchie flew in from New York City. She is very tired, has been up since 3am west coast time and is crashed right now as I type some more blog
In case you missed my story, I'll type it again below.
Why do I think being a personal trainer and personal training in San Francisco isn't all it's cracked up to be? Being a personal trainer is very great. I very muchlove personal training. The problem with being a great personal trainer and personal training clients many hours a week is just having to have an appointment at one time.
I am a personal trainer because I like personal training clients and watch them achieve their fitness goals. Sometimes it doesn't seem that my clients are really into their personal training sessions. This is when being a personal trainer is most difficult. In San Francisco people have very busy lives and sometimes a personal training session is in the middle of their day and fitness is not something they want to let into their lives, and a personal trainer can do nothing about that.
I am a successful personal trainer. While, personal training my clients I can sometimes see which ones will have success and which ones will fail. Listening to me during the personal training sessions is crucial. As a personal trainer it is must frustrating when a client does not listen to me, especially during the personal training sessions. I will tell them to perform the rep slowly and they always go fast or something like that.
Another thing that they don't listen is fitness advice from their personal trainer. Outside of their personal training sessions is when a personal trainer is most valuable. That is where their fitness goals will be accomplished and their personal training program will show results.

Sleeping Patterns ALL JACKED UP
I just got back from my Japanese class about a hour or so ago. Another class where I was thoroughly confused but still love it. I learned more charachters and I pretty much aced a quiz that went over last weeks charachters which I just really studied this morning.
I actually went to sleep a little after 12 midnight last night. I woke up in the morning around 6 and couldn't go to back to sleep. It may have been my friend from NYC who I am picking up at the airport that stressed me out. Probably my dad who was in the emergency room last night the most.
He has lymphoma and has been undergoing chemotherapy for a few months. He developed a fever over 100 degrees so my mom brought him to the emergency room. They determined he had pneumonia and put him on antibiotics. I called him and he sounded like crap. I will go visit later when I go pick up my friend from the airport.
I have been thinking of ideas for my new website AskTheTrainer.com which is going though a domain transfer right now and have some pretty good ideas to increase its search engine rank as well as number of pages.
WORKOUT
Today I walked from Japantown to my apartment which took about 30 minutes. I don't think I will do any gym activities today because I don't feel up to it. Sometimes it is better just to not do anything or take a nap. Generally the next time you will have more energy and motivation.

What Rediculous Day
So much to do, and seems like I accomplished nothing. I went and did laundry and trained a couple clients but my place is still a mess, and I didn't do my Japanese homework yet.
I really want to work on websites and write more blogs and articles but I really need to get some housework done. My friend Nuchie from New York by way of Bangkok is coming tomorrow and I'm picking her up from the airport at 12:30pm.
WORKOUT
Today I ran all over town, it was raining so hard it reminded me of living in Oregon. After training 3 personal training sessions, I was notified that my friend Jae's birthday dinner was canceled.
I just did a few sets of 225 on the bench press at the studio and a few sets of dumbbell curls. I went home, and here I am, a slacker who needs to do my Japanese homework and memorize my Kanji.
