FPLA

brought in relation to Lifestyle Magazine.....

I was always trying to find a way to get the nation capital to help support our mission to understand the importance of good health and also the career in being a fitness professional.  Many times we see that we are overlooked in the eduction and the training that is required to be able to be a leader.  I then came accross an interview with an officer talking about and complaining how the defense soldiers are just rediculous.  That the recruiting has become even harder and most yet want the benefits but come in over weight....   Us Army soldiers at Ft Jackson and Ft bragg have become worried that the obsesity is going to leave our country helpless in wartime.

A soldier stated that she was coming in weighing at 160 pounds and 30 percent bodyfat.  That is way over the average for an in shape female.  The normal female if not overweight is that stays healthy is 16 percent.  WE have regular civilian weight over.  mOst females are trying to lose 40-50 pounds and with a soldier being this much in play how can we deterimine if they can handle the harsh conditions and be ready for wartime.

Even so the diet and exercise are really important for are american soldiers.  With this in mind we also find that pergnant soldiers are a situation where during this time even though not at war they need to be in still shape and healthy.  These soldiers still need to keep some form of healthy diet and exercise... 

I know that many athletes pregnant have stayed in shape all the way up to delivering on the treadmill.  So it is becoming a major thing where the defense is really considering the health in americans and also the training.  With this though many times the professionals are not given this opportunitiy.  WE find that again we are left out to help in this situation.  With the funding going to some building for this and not allowing a place where there can be contracted outside professionals who can help.  Yet with this in mind we are not sure of the ones who are contracted and they don't really inspire with the right training and benefits with it.   I hope to change this for this is something needed.  Many times eduation and certification are important and yet we are robbed of our profession with this crap.  Be that all about the defense.  We are trying to impose a global spread the word for allowing better pay and benefits through the defense to work as a different uniform to help train and guide officers and such for this specific reason....

To give a chance for a place to allow them to stay and also work by continue the education and training.  The defense health care is great where the civilians in their jobs are maybe sometimes robbed.  Then to find out that we don't get to work in our career.  Many times we are not able to get paid what we are worth.  You see very low wages with trainers but physical therapist are given sign on bonuses a facility and expenses.  Where many times trainers in companies are sabatoged and treated like sales people because we are not able to get the secure jobs and so we find ourselves not able to do the work need in health instead become a struggle in order just to get paid.....

I have interviewed many trainers who are on all different levels including doctors.  They find themselves a sales person and not really allowing care.  Doctors are not sales people therapists are care providers.  Trainers find they hate their jobs cause of the pressure of sales and no benefits and no secure employment and growth.  They find that at times companies are not really good companies and job security puts them independent and costing them out of pocket.  To hear how clients are selfish and dont want to pay for the service.  Trainers in health are professionals in levels.  As anything they go to school , they study some spend $1000 in one weekend to get the knowledge and skills to be the best. Some are proathletes and artists that should be making 3 million a year or more...yet we find struggling for only $20...

It must stop.  WE need to find women in sports and professional of health a better way for them to get the right salary wether be pro or amatuer in their career.  Everyone must start at the bottom as any job.  But if you have been doing this for 15 years you should be paid as a basketball player is or a soldier in his career at that point with the benefits.

Lets join to stop the abuse and help this for if we dont many times health care is rejected to clients because of this and end up with someone who can give them bad advice and not able to help them and it could jeaparize our country.

I oppose we stand up and shrink the nations waist and demand for better pay and salary in our profession.

Give associations a way to build facilities to help train and prepare......if you would join me in this.
