certifications can be

nov.25th.

Today's training: 3 miles of walking and running about 40 min. in local park.


Workshops and certifications you may want to attend takes a little up front work prior to attending if you want to get your moneys worth. Yes, you can drop a grand or two on your favorite workout method cert like spinning, battling ropes, kettlebells, crossfit, yoga, etc. and the list is endless. In the last few years the price has gone to obscene levels for 16 hours of training and a piece of paper to show you attending.

So if you want to get one of those three letters after your name or several more to impress you friends, sign up for your favorite certifications but get ready to work for a few days at the training if you want to get your money worth. Therefore I would be a good idea to start training a few months prior so you can last the 8 hours for a few days and still look good. Remember, the goal of the certification is to obtain the expertise to train others and a role model for that method, therefore you will be required to show your teaching and techniques before you are given the certification. If you go to the cert cold with little physical prep you may fail, become fatigued or even injured.

So even a hardcore body weight workshop will kick you ass for a few hours if you don't get some frequent multi training sessions before you attend. The best way to train for a cert. is to do mini workout sessions several times a day to see if you can maintain the stamina all day without falling apart after a couple of hours. You will get breaks during the cert. but most people only get accustom to one training session, but you will be getting mini workouts all day at the cert and depending on the type, it can be intense. I attended a spinning workshop and we were on the bikes for 6 hours a lot of it at interval mode.
