Personal Training/Fitness Components
The following components will be considered and progressively implemented in a safe and proper training program for each client.
Fitness Assessment: Client will perform physical testing in order to provide trainer with a basis for making decisions for exercise selection. This will be an ideal time to evaluate client goals and needs.
Warm Up: Trainer will instruct client in proper technique, including 5-10 minutes with light cardio training, Self Myofascial Release and active range-of-motion exercise. Once learned, client may opt to perform warm-up before each training session. If client is not properly warmed up, time will be taken during session to prevent injury and early fatigue during training sessions.
Core Work: More important than displaying a “six-pack”, developing a strong core within the deep musculature of the trunk and attached limbs is essential for proper form, efficient movement and injury prevention.
Balance: Often taken for granted, balance is a key component of any movement or activity. Balance work stimulates minute muscles and nerves within the body and is essential in keeping joints stable.
Cardio Respiratory Training: Not only helpful with warm up and cool down, but also important for maintaining general physical and psychological/emotional health. The key is to find a method that is fun for the client.
Flexibility Training: This aspect of the training program is essential for decreasing muscle imbalances, joint dysfunction and injury and is best performed at the end of a cool down period.
Reactive and Speed, Agility and Quickness Training: Depending on fitness level and goals of client, these may be implemented for fun, as well as to achieve maximal power, reaction, speed and coordination.
Resistance Training: In order to implement a safe, effective and appropriate training program, the client’s goals, fitness and needs will be considered and a program designed to take the client progressively through a system for the purposes of altering body composition, strength, endurance and metabolic and cardiovascular efficiency.
