One of the issues, at least in the US, is that requirements to call oneself a personal trainer vary from state to state and are very lax in general. So pretty much anyone who gets it in their head that they want to train people - can. :/

Thanks. It should be exciting. It will be the first race I've done that has a stellar elite field. Too bad I'll only see them for about .25 mile at the beginning.

You are in critical situation now. Don't be worry. End the life isn't the solution at all. Keep yourself calm and enjoy the world.
Heart rate depends on the person body types.My normal heart rate is 98-110 when it become130+ I cant tolerate it. But my father normal rate is 140 when it up to 160+ then he feels pain. So I think it depends on human body types.
What you said is so true. I know my trainer never wants me to run so hard that I am going to be sick or work out that hard. She says it is not good you and that is not working out is about. I wonder sometimes if trainers get this idea from the biggest loser

What does "have to" mean in the context of your subject line? If you think exercise is just for staying thin, then that's incorrect. Exercise is also important to maintain cognitive function with age - to me, that's a pretty big "have to" that we ALL must do. Regardless of whether we're thin or not.
