Personal Trainer $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A personal trainer is a person who helps people exercise. The scope of practice for a personal trainer is to enhance the components of fitness for the general, healthy population. The five classic components of fitness are muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, although there are other subsets like power, skill, and speed. The general population is defined as an age range of 18 to about 50 (45 and younger for males, 55 and younger for females). The definition of healthy in this context means an absence of a disease that would affect ones ability to exercise. Anyone outside that scope of practice should be placed in a trainers scope after a visit to the doctor to see what kind, if any, exercise they are capable of.

Confessions of a Certified Personal Trainer: Volume I the Fitness Revolution Educating You on the Right Way to Exercise $16.98 Robert Linkul has been in the certified personal training business since 1999. A former hammer thrower turned trainer, Robert brings with him a passion for personal training and a desire to educate others. Robert operates his own personal training studio in Sacramento, California where he trains over 100 clients per week. Arden Hills Resort Club and Spa provided Robert a 1000 square foot space in which he designed and developed into his private personal training studio. Linkul trains the majority of his clients in groups and has had tremendous success mentoring his clients toward achieving their fitness goals. Robert’s commitment to the personal training business earned him the honor of serving the National Strength and Conditioning Association as their Northern California State Director (2010-2012). Robert has his masters degree in personal training, his bachelors degree in kinesiology, is a certified strength and conditioning specialist with distinction, a certified NSCA certified personal trainer with distinction as well as a certified USA Weightlifting Level I coach. Linkul is the "Career Builder" columnist for Personal Fitness Professional Magazine’s (PFP) website. Robert also writes for OnFitness magazine and has been published in the NSCA Performance Journal. Linkul puts out a bi-weekly newsletter, which inspired this book, as he sends out information to assist both his clients and other trainers. "I have grown tired of all the "fads" and "myths" of the certified personal training business and decided I would put out a email to all my clients discussing a topics like "site specific reduction" or "crash diets." The support I received after sending out the first newsletter inspired me to keep writing. My goal is to change the way people think of fitness. I call it the "fitness revolution." This book is a combination of education, experience and research all put together and thrown down on paper. These are my confessions as a certified personal trainer. Many trainers will not tell you information like you will read in this book. That is why I call it a revolution. We are breaking away from the norm and developing something new. With science and research as my guide, I will educate you on a new way to train, the right way to training." |

Body Mechanics: Complete Fitness Journal and Guide $16.95 The human body adapts to adversity. The more stress that you place on it, the more it will adapt to those levels of stress. By defining you fitness goals and then recording the results of a work out, you are able to see what progress you have made… and what needs to be done to reach those goals. Body Mechanics Complete Fitness Journal & Guide was the meeting of two minds. Both Mary Basham and myself are certified personal trainers. But where I am a designer by profession, she has spent the majority of her adult life in the health and fitness industry. I was able to bring to the project what someone who is serious about fitness wants to know… but more importantly, she was able to bring the project what someone needs to know. It was that collaboration that formed this unique and exciting publication. For this project we focused on the record keeping aspect of working out. Discouragement and frustration are powerful forces that can influence anyone who works out, especially those that are new to physical activity. It is a simple fact that even though the human body can make enormous improvements through fitness… it does take time. And here in the 21st century where everything is available to us so quickly… people can get impatient, impatience leads to discouragement, and discouragement leads to quitting. By having the ability to see what you have done for each muscle group written there in front of you, you have, in essence controlled time. Like an anatomical road map you are able to chart the progress of your workouts and have hard evidence that progress is being made, even though the mirror may say other wise. We designed Body Mechanics tolet you record everything about your work out. From scheduling times, medical history, personal goals, measurements, body composition all the way down to how much weight you are lifting and what your target heart rate is.

Dear Cindy, Love Mom: Letters of Love, Loss and Life $5.7 Early on the morning of April 23, 2007, my daughter Cindy left her Lower East Side Manhattan apartment and began her day with a bike ride on Riverside Drive. She was training for her first Ironman Triathlon in Lake Placid, NY in July. This would be a busy day with training for the 100-mile cycle portion of the race, a packed schedule of personal training clients, and a run in Central Park. But this was not to be a typical day. Midway through her ride, Cindy suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and died at the young age of 33. No one could have predicted her sudden death. Cindy was a dietician, a trainer of trainers, a consultant to Fitness Magazine and the embodiment of good health.Cindy’s death left me paralyzed with grief and certain that I would never experience another joyful moment in my life. After three weeks of unspeakable suffering, I sat before a grief counselor who suggested that I start a journal. I wrote to Cindy each day, trying to relieve my pain and to describe my dreams, my journey and my efforts to deal with, and ultimately accept, her untimely death. This book is the result, a compilation of some of those letters. |
