Personal Fitness Training Beyond The Basics: Beyond The Basics

Most personal training textbooks are :TOO expensive TOO long TOO complicated and they cover stuff that you will NEVER need to know in the real world. Joe Cannon, MS, CSCS, NSCA-CPT has been a self employed personal trainer for over a decade and teaches personal training too. He teaches the science so you can understand it. Personal Fitness Training Beyond The Basics, 2nd edition, is a personal training textbook that communicates not only the exercise science that you need to know - but ALSO how to apply that science to training clients. This book contains the essential information that Joe -himself -has needed to know when he works with clients. The idea is that If Joe needed to know this information, YOU DO TOO.
