This class has not only taught me the fundamentals of designing a 5k program for a client, but also demonstrating the importance of cardio and how beneficial it is to the human body for health. Adding cardio in your workout regimen is defiantly crucial for anyone to benefit from physically and mentally. I really loved listening to all the guest speakers and the activities we did in the gymnasium during lab were a blast! Everyone looked to be engaged and having a good time. My favorite thing we did in class was designing the workout video with our partners. I really enjoyed putting it all together while staying confident and encouraging throughout the entire workout.

       I enjoyed designing a yearly structured seasonal periodization program for firefighters! We had the honor to create weekly training templates based on the number of fires they would have to fight. Then we made a yearlong calendar making sure to have something marked in for each day so it can be clearly followed. The project to a lot of time and work but was fun and very rewarding!

Through INShape I had the opportunity to personal train a 57-year-old client by creating weekly workout plans that met my client's goals and needs for 8 weeks. INShape had allowed me to really put together the knowledge and skills I had learned over the years from countless lectures and apply it hands on. This program has drastically increased my confidence in regard to my capabilities and improving on exercise selection as to what works best for my client and how to properly go about making minor tweaks when necessary. It also improved my time-management skills as far as how to best go about the time I have with my client making sure they get a safe & effective workout and always end on time!
