Fat 2 Fit Show #56 – Personal Training With Tom Venuto
Written on February 18, 2009 – 10:10 am | by Jeff Ainslie
Tom Venuto joins us today to discuss Personal Trainers and Personal Training in general. What can you expect out of a personal trainer and how do you find a good one for yourself?
Tom Venuto might be the most recognized name on the internet right now as a fitness and weight loss expert. For the last 20 years, he has been involved in virtually every aspect of the fitness and weight loss industry. He has worked as a personal trainer, nutrition consultant, motivation coach, fitness model, health club manager and has written 2 best selling books on fitness and weight loss.
In our e-mail and comments section, we received a comment from an Exercise Physiologist named Alex who informed us how to calculate your true maximum heart rate. He dispels the myth of the “220 minus your age” that most people use the estimate their max heart rate. We also heard from Karen who is having more success with her weight loss by eating more food and not being hungry.
In our Web Report section, Jeff managed to find America’s Worst Food of 2009. Russ found a blog entitled “This is Why You’re Fat” that visually shows some of America’s most extreme foods.

Homework:
Do you just want to lose weight, or is your actual goal to be smaller? How many inches have you lost from around your waist, hips, belly, thighs or anything else you care to measure? If you want to be smaller, start measuring this and tracking this – get a measuring tape and start recording. It doesn’t really matter exactly what you record, just keep measuring the same places to track your results over time.

Hey guys! This was an AWESOME podcast. I have been kicking around the idea of becoming a personal trainer for a while now. This podcast was very inspiring and couldn’t have come at a better time!!!
I’d also like to Thank Mr. Venuto for his interview. He really sounded like a down to earth guy. Since I listened to this episode, I started reading his blog. WOW there is a ton of great articles there!
Thanks again
John

It’s great to know that so much helpful information is now available to those of us who have struggled with weight/ health issues over the years. Finally, light at the end of the tunnel.
Tom Venuto is a very motivational, reasonable, and informative author. I’m glad he told me about your website!
