“Applying
these
materials to senior programs should make a remarkable improvement in
the
training outcomes.”
-- Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D., CSCS

| SrFit™
provides advanced
training for certified personal trainers who wish to work with the
older adult. There are many programs that currently train people to be
senior fitness exercise leaders, but there are fewer training programs
that build on the expertise of the personal trainer and that require a
certification in personal training as a prerequisite. It seems
reasonable to expect that anyone designing personalized fitness
programs for seniors should be a certified personal trainer with extra
training for the senior population. This will become even more
important as the industry sets standards for personal training, and as
the medical community and insurance companies begin to recognize
personal trainers as a viable option for referring patients who need
help with lifestyle change. This in depth course includes a 330 page
manual, 60 page study guide, 2 1/2
hour DVD set featuring Wayne Westcott, a one hour audio CD
featuring
Tammy Petersen with her husband Mark, a geriatrician and
examination
and qualifies for up to 24 hours of CEU credit with major certifying
organizations. Instructions for completing the online
examination and obtaining CEU credit are also included. MORE... |

| Based on the book The Mayo Clinic Plan, the
program Move More, Eat
Better – YOU Matter!™ links the
medical community with the fitness
community by providing effective tools for physicians’
patients who
need to improve their lifestyle to either manage or prevent chronic
conditions that are associated with poor diet and lack of physical
activity. This course is designed to guide the participant in change to
healthier living and, in turn, to a happier, longer and more productive
life. There are six sessions presented in a classroom setting over a
six-week period that address the components of a healthy lifestyle and
how these relate to the quality of life. Activity, healthy eating,
coping with stress and staying motivated are discussed, along with
setting SMART goals and self-assessment. The Mayo Clinic Plan
hardcover
textbook, pedometer, and five additional Mayo Clinic booklets: Walk
Your Way to Fitness, The Mayo Clinic Core Fitness Chart, The Pocket
Guide to Eating Out, Healthy Weight for Life, and Healthy Solutions for
Managing Stress are included as instructional materials.

Every facility
has different needs. We personalize our programs to fit your unique
requirements. For a personal consultation on how to bring the

| Functionally Fit™,
through on-line trained Certified Nurse Aides (CNA), reaches the
chronic long-term care and assisted living patient to provide daily
functional training as an accepted and expected part of the daily care
plan. It is also feasible to train family members in the Functionally Fit™
philosophy so that they can be involved in the process of keeping their
loved one as independent as possible. The CNA, or other
front-line caregiver, is educated and then certified to provide this
type of care. Society must change its view that long term care
facilities are just warehouses where we store people until they die.
Ideally, functional training, with a focus on strength, should be part
of a person’s lifestyle at any age. But as people grow older
and
begin to lose muscle strength and mass, it becomes even more important
to reverse, or at least slow, the effects of aging and to guarantee
independence for the activities of daily living into old age. Along
with the course manual, there are 29 sessions presented in an on-line
program to facilitate the learning process. A color-coded DVD and
poster set of the program to be used with the patient is also provided
as an additional instructional guide for each resident’s
room. MORE... |
