The ACSM 3 day workshop I planned on attending was canceled due to too few people signing up. I won't be able to make it to another workshop until January.

I was planning on taking the exam...

Unbelievable, you can definitely tell you put the time in. I wish I could rep you again!

People willing to spend the time/cash working with a trainer 4-5 days a week are few and far between. 2x 60 min. sessions weekly are the norm at my gym. I always give my clients suggestions on what...

I am 19 and, no offense, but I have to say your perception of 19 year olds is pretty far off the mark.

Agreed. For some certifications requiring a bachelors you can actually take your exam during your senior year as well I believe (or maybe during your last semester).

I'd be careful recommending supplements as a PT, that could easily be a lawsuit waiting to happen unless you have some sort of nutrition cert.

Try to find out whats wrong with her knees specifically. I'm a firm believer that squats are only bad for your knees if they're done with poor form.


If she can get out of a chair, she can...

I would stick with exercises that will relate to her daily activities first and foremost. Walking, going up and down stairs, chair squats, etc.


There have been 1 or 2 posts on this site about...

Make it personal for the client. If someone comes in and says "I want to be able to run a 5K", don't stop there. Try to find out why. It may really be "I want to run a 5K with my husband because...

I'm reading it now, tons of great info and it's an easy read. Definitely worth the 20 or 30 bucks.

No offense, but that question is dumb. Nutrition is 80% of weight loss. You could write this guy an absolutely perfect program, and if he goes straight from the gym to McDonalds, he might not even...

I'm only 19 and work as a trainer. I began working at the YMCA which was a great way to get my feet wet and to put on my resume, but they did not have many PT clients at all and in retrospect I...

A guy came in today and said "I just want lots of abs".

How does this translate to it being a program aimed solely for chiropractors?

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. My school's Kinesiology program has a curriculum specifically for people looking to become a trainer.

Physical therapy, exercise physiology, athletic training, cardio rehab, etc. etc.

I used this exact exercise with a client who was a hiking enthusiast. Training on an unstable/uneven surface carried over well to hiking on an uneven ground. I'd never add weights to this exercise...

Most girls 'round these parts think it's weird.

You gots a case of the skinny fat broski. You're probs around 15% I'd say because it doesn't look like you have too much muscle mass.

I wouldn't worry too much about BF though as long as you...

Lolol of course it would, it's the physiology of EXERCISE!

But seriously, it will help. There is an exercise science program at my school which teaches students "to assess, design, and implement...
