The YMCA Personal Trainer Award is one of the highest qualification a Fitness Instructor can gain. It provides a profound theoretical and working knowledge of the body's skeleton and support structures like muscles, ligaments and tendons. As a YMCA qualified Personal Trainer I know about many different ways to train for Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance as well as for Cardiovascular Fitness Contact me here
An important diagnostic tool is a full Fitness Assessment which usually takes one hour and provides the Personal Trainer with important data on which the workout programme will be based.
Exercise Counselling is also part of the YMCA Personal Trainer Award and comes into its own when a client needs motivation to get started or to stay on track or when new or different goals need to be negotiated.
As more and more people, adults and children alike, are becoming increasingly overweight Nutrition and Weight Management forms an important part of the service I can offer you. It is more important to understand about food and its components than to follow any diet blindly without the knowledge why you do this. I also offer guidance if you want to increase you body weight or muscle mass.
Walking is a perfect form of exercise and most of us can do this without any problems. Done in the correct way it can be a very demanding workout, like power walking for instance, but it doesn't put as much stress on your joints as running and a YMCA Personal Trainer will know all about it.
As the average person lives longer than ever before it is very important to become and stay active to enjoy life to the full. The YMCA Personal Trainer Award recognizes this by providing in-depth knowledge of Fitness Training for the Older Adult. This is very specialized fitness training which takes the changes of an aging body into account, whether these changes come about simply through age or through ill-health.
Because of the very thorough training, a YMCA Personal Trainer will be able to prescribe the correct exercise for anyone suffering with High Blood Pressure, High Blood Cholesterol, Diabetes Mellitus, Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Joint Problems or a Bad Back.
Every Personal Trainer who is YMCA qualified will hold a First Aid at Work Certificate and this should be kept up to date.
It is important that you always ask for and check that a Fitness Professional is well qualified and a YMCA Personal Trainer Award is the best you can have.
