A must for those starting in the business
The first part of the book is pretty simple in its concept. Mostly it gives you ideas on interaction with clients. Even with issues I already knew it was nice to have the reassurance. The best part of the book from was the EXERCISE section. It gives concise and easy to follow instructions on many exercises and they are broken down by body parts. What makes this especially valuable is that she give you reminders to tell your client plus things to watch out for as a trainer for each exercise. I only wish she had added more of this in the book. I practically scanned this whole section and uploaded it into my Palm Pilot for quick access at the gym ***That may be an idea for you Teri for future products**Also in the back are several standard forms such as a medical release.

Read this and live it, or she'll cuff ya!!
I found three good reasons to read this book. 1. It's jam packed and filled to the brim with practical knowledge about how to become fit and/or a fitness trainer. 2.It discusses aspects of training yourself or others that most people never consider, such as: When to say when,Trainer ethics and credibility, and the importance of functional fitness. 3. Teri writes like she talks which means the book is more fun to read than most others. Buy it.
