- Is the training program that you are designing appropriate, safe, and effective for the client, given the client’s physical abilities and primary goals?
- Could you defend your program from a legal standpoint? Who would be held liable if your client was injured during training because of either lifting too much weight or exceeding a certain heart rate?
- Is your program justifiable from a business standpoint? Are you professional with your current clients? Would they refer their friends, family, or colleagues to you based on the guidance that you provide in your program design?
- Imagine that YOU are the paying client. Would you feel that your money was well spent if you were handed the training program/dietary recommendations?
Calculations: Calculate the client’s target heart rate using the Karvonen formula.
