There are many different kinds of personal training qualification available. Many different people take part in personal training, so this consideration may influence the kind of course you do. If you want to work with people in a rehabilitation setting for instance, you would probably need different qualifications than those who simply work at a gym.
Then again, you could be really interested in seniors and want to make helping them to remain as fit as possible into their old age your prime career, then your personal training qualifications would need to be slanted towards this goal. Or it could be that you have a particular interest in helping children or adults with a mental disability to enjoy the rewards of getting fitter. Your personal training qualification in this case should include special training in how to work with people who are mentally challenged.
Of course, you may have already worked in any of these scenarios while fulfilling the obligations of another career. This will certainly make it easier for you to gain employment in your chosen area. That very necessary personal training qualification will add to your resume and enable you to take up employment where your interest lies, as well as giving you an edge over the competition – those who don’t have any personal training qualification.
Even if you are only interested in doing volunteer work with these people groups you really should have personal training qualification to ensure you know all things pertaining to your work. Only in this way will you be able to carry out your duties in a safe and responsible manner. With your personal training qualification tucked into your pocket you will have the confidence to go ahead and apply for many positions of interest and know that you have the ability to do them satisfactorily. Having this sense of confidence is what makes one person stand out above another.

As a woman, I have never hesitated to walk into a free weight room, pick up a set of 25lbs dumbbell, stand there right in the middle of the badly lit floor and just start lifting. Never mind the stares I get all around me (95% are usually men). My focus is to get my muscles pumped, walk out of the room with a tight body and take pride in the discipline that I have developed over the years. It’s a solitary sport and not many can take the repetitive motion of this chosen path but for those few who have, it is an extremely rewarding path to take. Extremely rewarding.
What exactly is strength training? According to Wikipedia, it is “the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, anaerobic endurance and size of skeletal muscles”. Basically, it means that when you lift weight, your muscles will get stronger and grow in size. How much they grow depends on a number of factors such as: how heavy you lift, how often you lift in a week, how well you plan your diet and most importantly, how much rest you get.
How does a muscle grow bigger? When you lift a weight that the body is not accustomed to and create muscular contractions, you cause microscopic tears (microtrauma) to the muscle fibres. When this happens, the body repairs itself within a period of 1-3 days by adding more fibres in anticipation of another ‘traumatic’ session of weight training. The result is known as hypertrophy. During the repair phase, it is crucial that you consume sufficient nutrients like complete proteins and carbohydrates (simple and complex) to speed up the healing and growth process. Training without good nutrition will not get you the results you want.
The beauty of strength training is its ability to shape your body according you your goals and desires within your genetic limitation, of course. Why would you get into weight training?
These are some of the common reasons:
1. To build strength in general
2. To firm flabby body parts (for most women: the “batwings” and thighs)
3. To assist an athlete’s perfomance in his or her chosen sport
4. To assist in fat loss
5. To build confidence
6. To add sufficient muscle tone without looking like a bodybuilder
7. To be a bodybuilder
8. For medical reasons (physiotherapy)
There are many other reasons but the 8 mentioned above are pretty much the general reasons for picking up a dumbell. It is usually easier to convince a man to start training with weights than it is a woman. Why? Because many women have been fed the notion that lifting dumbells will cause them to hypertrophy beyond recognition. The most common answer you will even hear is “Oh, I don’t want to lift weights because I don’t want to grow big muscles. ”
This is a myth that has been circulating for many years and has been passed down from generation to generation. The truth is, women do NOT have enough of the growth hormone (testosterone) that is required to build the muscle size that a man is capable of. Women’s ovaries and adrenal glands produce only about one-seventh of the amount of testosterone that men do. Biologically and chemically, it is virtually impossible for women to attain even a third of the strength and muscle development that men possess. So why do women bodybuilders have large muscle development?
Many of these women have exceptional genetic ability to develop their bodies they way they have. Even then, with strict dieting and heavy training, they can never equal the level of their male counterpart. For many female bodybuilders who look like men, the have resorted to ingesting steroids, which are basically testosterone, to enhance their muscle development in an unnatural way. These women will eventually develop facial hair, enlarged voice boxes and aggression.
For the rest of us, strength training will give us the curves and sexy shape that make us look like the women we see in fitness magazines. For the men, having a set of visible six pack abs will not only protect you from the many cardiovascular diseases that are associated with excess belly fat, as a bonus, you will also look aesthetically pleasing. Ladies love sexy abs on their men!

Dogs are individual creatures. No two dogs are alike. Through a combination of genetics, circumstances or development one dog may be assertive while another is timid.
Dogs in the ‘alpha’ pack leader position are assertive. These types of dogs will take bones or toys away from other dogs or be the first of the pack to enter a room and demand a great deal of attention after having done so. On the other hand, a timid dog will always eat, enter and play last. These dogs simply remain quiet and wait to be noticed.
At first glance, timid dogs may not be in need of training as much focus is placed on deterring unwarranted behaviors. Their counterparts, assertive dogs, are more suitable for training. These dogs are leashed and pulled back during walking exercises. Trained not to chase the neighbors cat is also endured.
Unlike their rowdy companions, timid dogs are the last to exit, do not display a tendency to dig or other undesirable behaviors. These behaviors are carried over into personal space. Timid dogs distance themselves inside the home from other dogs, whether assertive or not.
The fact is that timid dogs are in need of training. The training for timid dogs goes in the opposite direction of traditional training. A timid dog is taught to not let a stranger approach it on the street and offer a treat. This can have a damaging effect on the dog’s overall health. Unstable individuals will use this as an opportunity to steal or harm a timid dog.
Likewise, timid dogs need to understand boundary respect by any unknown dog or human. For this reason, a timid dogs need not to accept treats from people you meet. This should be taught once to be effective.
Work with the dog’s nature in order to set a success training tone. Although timid in nature, the dog will still enjoy the occasional reward and play times.
When there is more than one dog in a household, reserve time for the timid one to get some one on one time outside. This keeps the more assertive dog in the house next to you. Give the timid dog the opportunity to therefore enter the house first, feed first or get a drink of water first. During general feeding time, prevent the timid dog from being chased out of the room.
Take a toy – favored beef treated bone or stuffed ball – and go through the ‘sit’ and ‘up’ motions with a timid dog. Do not engage in this as long as you would with an assertive dog. Be sure to use a friendly, up beat voice when playing with the timid dog.
Based on physiological or genetic circumstances, not all timid behaviors can be erased through training. Keep this in mind and do not set the bar too high when training a timid dog. Patience and persistence will win through and be effective in changing some of the dog’s behaviors.
Consistency and commitment will go a long way in training a timid dog. Be prepared to devote an hour once a day for several weeks, months or even longer to teaching a timid dog a more suitable behavior.

You’ve been training the same for a few years, right? The weights, sets and reps might increase, and you might mix in a few different exercises. But all in all, it’s the same thing each week. You attack a body part. You do a set, wait 2 to 3 minutes. You do another set. You wait 2 to 3 minutes. You might complete 10, 15 or 20 sets.
Our bodies are remarkable creations. They quickly adapt to stresses. Your training becomes incredibly constant over the years, and your body is going to adapt. This might just explain why no matter how hard you lift, the changes in your body become very minimal over time. Growth is measured in millimeters, not inches, after you’ve trained for a few years.
Recently, pro bodybuilders have discovered a new training method which has worked wonders in helping athletes like Gustavo Badell, Dennis Wolf, Silvio Samuel, and others to reach brand new levels of muscularity and size – even after being established pros for years. They’re been using Giant sets.
What is a giant set? It’s a simple training method. The trainer will complete 5 to 10 sets for a body part with little to no rest between sets, switching between various exercises. For example, a giant set for chest might look like this:
Next, you collapse on the floor and catch your breath after these five minutes of hell. Collect yourself. Grab a drink. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until your heart rate returns to normal. Then you do it again!
Granted, there are some limitations to this training approach. Crowded gyms don’t always allow for this monopolizing of equipment. Also, the ego may take a hit, as the lack of rest means that less weight will be used. You’ll probably only be able to complete three of these “cycles” initially, but that will increase to 6 or 8 as you become better conditioned.
Giant sets force more blood into the muscle than is has become accustomed to, in your years of training. They have worked for pros to break plateaus, and they might just work for you. Give them a try as a part of a well-rounded weightlifting routine, and you might find you can shock your body into growing!
