Regarding client’s training

In the past, most large Gym personal trainer focuses on boxing training, equipment training, fitball, etc, which are more traditional. I joined Pure fitness as personal trainer in 2012 and had a good grasp of many kinds of training, including PURMOTION™ system functional training, weight-lifting training, Power Plate training, kettlebell training, HIIT training, etc. Through those trainings, I understood the strengths, specialties and advantages of each kind of training. The sharing of tips of training between my trainer colleagues benefited me a lot and enabled me to use different tools to increase the fun of training.

Regarding academic information or lectures

Since becoming an advanced personal trainer of AASFP in 2008, I took the following courses:

Exercise Ball Instructor Certification Course (AASFP)

Specialized Prescription Program: Elderly Fitness (AASFP)

Specialized Prescription Program: Chronic illness (AASFP)

Regarding self-training

In November 2013, my nasal bone needed an operation and my body weight dropped from 155lbs to 143 lbs. Given my immunity deteriorated after the operation, I rested for 4 months. When I resumed my training, firstly I started with aerobics exercises (running) three times a week and each time my exercise heart rate did not fall under 80%. Besides, I had weight exercise once or twice a week and adopted the traditional pyramid style to 6RM to achieve my goal to increase muscles percentage. As for my diet, I adopted the diet with more meals with smaller portion and had 4-5 meals per day. My training result is that I managed to increase my weight from 143 lbs to 151 lbs with 8 more lbs of muscles.
