Training : General Tips What is the optimal training heart rate range for burning bodyfat, and what type of aerobic exercise is best? Why is it that after some workouts I experience extreme soreness in my muscles and after other workouts I don't? What does my personal trainer mean by the term "muscular hypertrophy"? I've heard the terms "isometric [or static], concentric, and eccentric contractions." What do these mean? How can I increase my intensity during workouts? Do you have any suggestions as to the best programs for becoming certified as a personal trainer to those who lift weights? I've read about Swiss Balls in Muscle Media magazine, but I can't find a location where I can purchase one. Any suggestions? My personal trainer told me to start stretching more, but then I read there are different kinds of stretching and I don't understand what the differences are. Can you help? I want to purchase some free-weight equipment like a squat rack, barbells, benches, etc. What's a good brand and how do I contact the company? I recently went to a chiropractor, and he did some sort of exam then told me I have muscle imbalances. Are those common with bodybuilders? What causes muscle imbalances in bodybuilders? What's the phone number and address for ordering some of those magnetic incremental weights I've read about in Muscle Media? Is it necessary to wear a lifting belt when lifting heavy weights? I'm a personal trainer and many of my clients are women. Are there are any profound gender differences in training protocols?
