Assignment - Exercise Prescription Essay

You are a personal trainer and working with a client to meet his/her fitness needs. Choose your client based on the slides posted under week nine. Or you can make up your own client. Please describe your client's health history and fitness goals. Please be specific. Do not say that your client wants to get into shape. Does your client want to increase stamina, strength, muscular endurance, lose weight, maintain weight, etc. All of these fitness goals are different and you will create a fun and unique workout to help your client achieve these goals. Think outside the box on your workouts. Don't just use the gym since right now, people want to get outside and take advantage of the warm weather. You are not limited to a boring workout. Consider training in a park or hiking a local hill. Will you use high intensity interval training? What specific exercises will your client perform and how will you measure the intensity of the workout (heart rate, perceived exertion, a talk test)? Please consider the importance of warm-up, active stretching, main workout in which your client sustains an elevated heart rate. Will you focus on strength or endurance, or both? Also, choose exercises that your client will enjoy and be able to perform. How will you challenge your client to work hard, but not build up too quickly, too fast so your client is susceptible to injury. How will you motivate your client to work hard? Don't forget to end your client's workout with stretching. Also, provide frequency, intensity, duration or exercise, and specific types of exercises in your workout.
