Disbelief!!!

I am writing this post as a rebuttal to the most insanely asinine article that I have seen in a long time!! By a well respected newspaper notheless. The article is titled..."The good news: No more sit-ups". Here is the link http://tinyurl.com/5z63xj. The article is presented to women and the author and so-called trainer that presented it are completely off base on the vast majority of the information. As a certified personal trainer and a well studied individual on women and training, I am completely offended by the information presented! Three of the five exercises that are mentioned as ones to stay away from have been documented and researched as the best exercises for any type of training goal. I am open to any research that has been done that proves otherwise.

Sorry for the rant...I just wanted to make sure that women who are looking to begin a resistance training program are not fooled by some of the so-called experts. Do your research and seek the most qualified pro to educate you so you can reach your fitness goals!!
