Assignment #1 Instructions:
As you proceed through this class, you will begin to apply the information to assessment and program planning for yourself and future clients/athletes. Many of you are already working as a Personal Trainer, either one-on-one or with a team. If so, you will see many parallels, and the information provided in this class will help to improve your efficiency as a Personal Trainer and Coach. If you do not currently work as a Coach or Personal Trainer, this is the time to start!!
For all of the assignments in this class you will use yourself as the “client”. You have 24 hour, direct access to all of the information necessary to complete the assignments.
If you have any limitations or cannot perform any of the assessments due to location or physical limitations (pregnancy, injury, etc) email your Instructor and they will work with you to find a “client” that you can use.

There are several ways to incorporate a Template/Table into your WORD document; a few hints:
If you are unsure of how to do this -the easiest way is to complete your template on one document, then take a screenshot (I use a Mac & the command for screenshot is command+shift+4, which then gets saved as a pic. On a PC, there is often a “print screen” button which actually saves the screenshot to your desktop OR to a clipboard for you to paste in a word doc), open and copy the picture, then paste it into the document in the appropriate spot.
Please refer to the attached rubric for additional details and guidance.
