Continuing Education - Professional Responsibility.


As a Certified Fitness Professional, keeping up our education is probably the single most important aspect of ensuring success in the business next to providing the best care possible for our clients. Virtually every profession requires continuing education, and the Personal Training profession should be no exception. As a fitness professional, our clients and their families entrust their bodies and lives to us, and turn to us for questions and advice. We must be able to provide them with accurate, current information, and the only way to do that is to continue our education.


I am glad to have completed this continuing education course. I certainly have a better understanding now on various lower back pain(LBP) conditions in terms of it's major anatomical, physiological, skeletal and risk factors of LBP, therefore would be able to design safe and appropriate exercise programmes for people with Lower Back Pain conditions.

Motivation Got Me Started, BUT The Habit NEVER Keeps Me Going....

with Fitness First.



Yes, after months of contemplating, I've signed and agreed to terminate my membership with Fitness First today.
No doubt it's the best deal that I'll ever get for a commercial fitness centre, paying RM105 initially and just 3 months ago, increased to RM111. Still, it's a steal for a passport membership.

I've not been going to the gym as frequent as I used to for various reasons. No point paying RM111 if the most I am only going 5 times per week month.

Crosstraining at the park has been fun lately, for myself and my clients.
There's no need to drive, paying tolls, facing the jam, looking for parking etc. No resistance machine or free weights available at the park though, but with understanding of anatomy, biomechanical concepts and kinesiology of exercises, we can always work out/train creatively with what is available around us.

I am sure I will miss RPM classes.

Dream Analysis




Lately I've been having dreams with similar continuous pattern.

Not only during night sleep, but even during afternoon nap.

It's not pleasant, and I'm expecting some shits to happen soon.

Since I'm studying Personality Theories ...

this semester ... under Mr James,


Click to view my Personality Profile page


Some characteristics might overlap each other, but there is a dominant one usually.
To me, there's no one fixed personality, because they changes depending on environment/situation.
This where non-self kicks in, so I don't usually say " I'm a (insert characteristics) person ".

:)

Don't understand what I'm trying to say? take your time to digest it.
