Senior Fitness Personal Training Specialist
Personal trainer, Craig Chapin, prides himself on his ability to provide personalized training to his wide array of clients. Whether you’re a new mother working on losing the baby weight, someone looking to get fit or an older individual who wants to build some strength back; working with a personal trainer can help you achieve your specific goal. Working with a personal trainer is a great first step in getting yourself in shape, but if you’re a senior client, having someone who specializes in senior training is of the utmost importance.
In an effort to provide even better training to his senior clients, Craig Chapin has gotten certified as a Senior Fitness Specialist by Exercise Etc. This training course gives him certifications including:
- Exercise for chronic disabilities: life after hip or knee replacement
- Nutrition for special populations
- Boot camp gold
- Exercise programs for older adults
- Balance and fall prevention
- Exercise and the older shoulder
- Essentials of functional exercise for seniors
- Exercise for chronic diseases
Exercises for older adults must be personalized, taking into consideration previous injuries, surgeries or challenges. For instance, a HIIT workout suitable for someone in their early 30’s with TRX Suspension equipment might put too much stress on the knees of an individual with bad knees. In this instance, a personal trainer with a focus in senior fitness training would find a workout that works out the same muscles in a position that doesn’t put weight on the knees.
