Description
This course is designed to provide trainers with the tools they need to critically evaluate training theory, apply properties of human tissue, and create training protocols that are suited to specific clients’ goals. The course begins with an introduction to evidence based research and reviews tissue histology. After this foundation is laid, “common knowledge” exercise theories are completely dissected. This section reveals many training mis-conceptions. The final section of the course provides trainers with the Cloud9Fitness “Exercise Portfolio” insert. This is an insert with more than 40 pages of training protocols that allow trainers to create routines that are tailored to their clients’ needs and desires.
