About the Book

As a personal trainer, motivating and guiding others to a healthy and fit lifestyle is your passion. Your challenge is shaping that passion into knowledgeable, consistent, and qualified assistance. To succeed as a personal trainer--and to help your clients succeed--turn to Can-Fit-Pro's Foundations of Professional Personal Training. It is the resource you need to build not only your fitness expertise but also your assessment prowess, communication skills, and business knowledge. Written by Can-Fit-Pro, a certification and continuing education provider for Canadian fitness professionals, Can-Fit-Pro's Foundations of Professional Personal Training is the manual used for the Can-Fit-Pro Personal Training Specialist certification program. The text includes the essentials of fitness theory and practical application, client assessment and screening, safety considerations, and program design. This information is complemented by chapters on the business of personal training, the psychology of personal training, the purpose and goals of Can-Fit-Pro certification, and a section on evaluation standards. Plus, two photo-rich appendixes provide you with an increased repertoire of exercises to share with your clients, including 20 core resistance-training exercises with two or three variations and progressions to each and 30 stretches for flexibility. Included with the book is a special bonus CD-ROM titled Essentials of Interactive Functional Anatomy (IFA Essentials). Using a 3-D model of the human musculature, IFA Essentials provides a vivid and detailed review of the components of structural anatomy. This interactive interface allows participants to rotate the skeleton and remove all 11 layers of anatomy--from muscles down to bones. It is a valuable guide to structural anatomy for personal trainers at any stage of their career.
