Hey Tammy, my lower back hurts while I do the 2nd and 3rd exercise. Do you know why?
no offense but this woman is too thin and gangly!
i'm not sure about online trainging, but if you go to careercruising.com, they tell you all about it, and courses you should have to become one.
No its not hard. You just have to know what you are doing and how to help other without being to pushy. Plus you do have to have some brains if you want to be good. Their is places were you can get your training hands on ask around your local gyms. This might open your eyes to what is expected of you to get certified. Good Luck hope this help.
It is better to get a certification in a gym so you get "hand on" experience and you get. Studying in groups of more people help you uncover more, ask more questions you may not have thought of, etc..
-Online is cheaper / in class is more exspensive
-Online you go at your own pace / in class is usually condensed and based the assumption you have a base level of knowledge
getting your certification is the beginning of the learning experience.
good luck
i dont think so
running
google: High Intensity Interval training . its meant to burn fat!
very nice video and it doesnt have to have lot of stuf i like it
There are several organizations that certify fitness trainers. These include NASM, ACE, AFPA, ISSA, and NFPT.
The courses are usually under $1000.00, and you can do some of them via regional seminars or online.
I recommend you Google "becoming a certified fitness trainer" and look up the various organizations, and see what they offer.
i would recommend maybe going for physical therapy
i'm from wisconsin and our best school for that kind of stuff is UW-Lacrosse
other than that i can't help you much
