No problem...nothing wrong with challenging the instructor either...it provokes thoughts and ideas, and enhances the learning process. I teach for WITS and we use the ACSM text for the class, so I am consistently asked "why's" and "how's" that the book's content is, as Allerious" stated, outdated.

It is clinical and basically places everyone on machines in an effort to keep them "safe".

BTW...you look RIPPED in your avatar. Good going!
