Program Design for Personal Trainers: Bridging Theory Into Application

Have you ever been frustrated by a client who didn't seem to progress off a plateau? Are you uncertain how to train clients with special needs?

You'll learn the science behind the programming! How to completely customize a program for each new client. Case studies, client examples, and charts throughout the text help you apply the information immediately. Have a quick question? Use the Quick Index and Key Points to find the answer.
