    I agree with the other posts about your snoring-- I'm sure you aren't the first or last snorer that your trainer has seen:biggrin_25518: Don't worry too much about your snoring, it may cause you to have trouble sleeping and you can become fatigued. Maybe you might buy a pair of those earplugs to give to your trainer as a gift on your first day -- it will give him ample warning and also help break the ice. Best of luck to you!

    P.S. You might want to get checked for sleep apnea if you haven't already. Just a thought.

    Was going to say the same, but you beat me to it.

    Yeah I have very minor apnea. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago. They gave me the machine and at first I could not use it but after few weeks I got use to it. I am on a diet right now trying to loose few pounds. The doc said it will help with the snoring and in some cases gets rid of the apnea.

    In a mean time I'll get some ear plugs. :)

    Nice talking to you guys and see you out there on the road. Martin
