Getting into the field
Hello Mariana and Tony! I am a 16-year-old who has really been into the science behind fitness and nutrition. I would like to go to school for some sort of exercise physiology degree. What advice would you give to someone starting out? Is there anything that I could start doing now that would help me in the future? What do you know about internships? How do you navigate finding a job that expresses what brings you joy? Thank you! I have loved your podcast since you guys started, and I am so glad I get to be a premium member now!
Trainer followup
Is there enough meat on the bones to have some sort of long form personal trainer podcast? What to expect, what to look for, what to avoid, like a ‘so you want to work with a personal trainer’ soup to nuts episode. I’d like to find one but I don’t know where to start and what to expect (especially since I only have a membership at planet fitness)
How heavy is enough?
I am progressively overloading as you suggested. However, how do I know if I'm going heavy enough? I can do 20+ reps with 75lb dumbbells on chest press for example, but going heavier seems to always cause injuries for me, so where should I go next? Even that weight is not "hard" at that many reps, like I could keep going. I want to understand where to go next.
