Tom Purvis – IDEAFit Teaching Exercise-Critical Skills for Personal Trainers

The language we use with our clients carries a great deal of weight. So often we categorize the success of a workout by describing it in terms of muscle burn or degree of sweating. Here is an opportunity to explore verbal and nonverbal cues for creating the correct positions and motions, as well as for directing and progressing the client’s effort. In addition, we’ll examine the objective effects of cues on the resistance profile. Watch in on this thought provoking discussion of the key elements of communicating pertinent cues to your clients.

Among the Topics Covered:

• The correct way to communicate with verbal and nonverbal cues
• Creating an exercise experience
• The importance of gradual progressions
• Increasing results with proper training and cuing
