Always continuing my education...

So I will be attending the SCW Fitness conference in Philly next week.

I'm incredibly excited to spend the weekend furthering my education and
step my game up - I'm sure my clients can't wait to play guinea pig when I get back.

I will also be taking a pre-convention seminar being taught by the CHEK Institute.
Its called, 'Equal but Not the Same: Special Considerations for Training Females'.
The course details the differences between men and women both structurally and
chemically, and these differences need to be taken into account while designing and implementing an exercise program that really works.

Some of the other areas that I'll be learning more about are:
training athletes with limited equipment and resistance, golf mechanics,
low back pain and functional solutions, stabilization movements, lactate threshold,
creativity with kettlebells, periodization training, proper training for runners and
a few more.

Next to real-life experience, I feel that continuing education is the most important
asset of a personal trainer. When choosing a fitness professional, you should always
ask if that individual has taken any recent classes or attended any seminars such as this
is the recent past.
