 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Oh the fun of being a blogger sometimes. \u00a0I literally got an anonymous phone call from someone connected with \u201cThe Biggest Loser\u201d who wanted me to know who the two new trainers are for the upcoming season 11.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019ve got \u2019em. \u00a0Cara Castronova<\/a>\u00a0(you have to scroll down a bit to see her info) and\u00a0Brett Hoebel<\/a>. \u00a0I do NOT have confirmation of this from the show but \u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The rumor has been going around that it\u2019s Brett and my anonymous tipster confirmed that was true. \u00a0He\u2019s a martial artist and a personal trainer who has trained some Victoria\u2019s Secret models. \u00a0His bio\u00a0states that he<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

is an award-winning group fitness instructor and nationally recognized personal trainer with certifications in Personal Training, Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching, Metabolic Typing\u2122 Nutrition, C.H.E.K. Holistic Exercise Kinesiology, Hatha Yoga, and Prenatal\/Postpartum conditioning.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s not too bad of a list.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be checking on it further \u2026 it doesn\u2019t list specifically what his personal trainer certifications are, so I\u2019d like to find out more about that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now for Cara.\u00a0 She is very pretty and a two-time Golden Gloves boxing champion with amazingly gorgeous hair. \u00a0She has been trying to establish an acting career since 2007 or so and is represented by agents in Hollywood. \u00a0It appears, however, she has zippo for certifications. \u00a0I can\u2019t find one single reference to a fitness certification anywhere. \u00a0I also couldn\u2019t find a reference to her being a personal trainer anywhere. \u00a0I don\u2019t know if she\u2019s ever had clients in real life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The pictures above are two stills from video clips. \u00a0The outline profile on the left is from the \u201cBiggest Loser\u201d season 11 teaser promo on NBC.com and the second still is from a History Channel documentary about Warrior Women. \u00a0Looks pretty darned similar no?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you listen to the voice of the new female trainer on the\u00a0promo for season 11<\/a>\u00a0as well as Cara\u2019s\u00a0acting promo<\/a>\u00a0tape, it sure sounds and looks like the same person to me. \u00a0Ditto for Brett; I listened to a\u00a0TV interview<\/a>\u00a0and compared it to the \u201cBL\u201d promo. \u00a0Their body types, bios, and voices all match. \u00a0I think I\u2019ve got it right this time. \u00a0By the way, I thought Brett\u2019s cueing was good; he had good pacing, used breathwork well, and corrected form. \u00a0All good signs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What do you think? \u00a0How do you feel about Cara, who potentially doesn\u2019t have ANY certifications to speak of working with a morbidly obese population?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019m not happy if that\u2019s the case. \u00a0I hope I\u2019m wrong.<\/em>\u00a0For the producers to go and hire just a pretty face without a fitness resume is pretty darned disturbing. Is it more about the ratings or more about saving lives?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By the way if you\u2019re new to my blog please feel free to click around and see what else I talk about it. \u00a0A lot of fitness and nutrition information delivered with a healthy dose of humor. \u00a0I also have a newsletter which gives you a peek behind my blog and extra tidbits that don\u2019t make the regular posts. \u00a0Just sign up at the top right hand column. \u00a0Thanks!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s get the discussion going.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lisa<\/p>\r\n\r\n
