Hi Carol, are you still around? Do you still have some questions about training the morbidly obese? Christina
Hi Christina: My name is Carol and I have read a few of your threads that I found very informative, thank you. Did you receive your personal coaching certification? Your post on working out the morbidly obese struck a chord with me. I currently have a client that is morbidly obese with a ton of medical issues (fibromyalgia, neuropathy, and psychological issues). I started training by way of a chair workout and then worked into a recumbent bike and light free weight workout. I have taken walks with her as well. But I totally understand the frustration regarding the lack of motivation on the part of the client. I give weekly goals only to find that she has not completed them each week. Were you able to help your friend, and if so how did you do it?
