Books and Chapter 1

The books have arrived! Chapter 1 has been completed, and I scored 100 % on the quiz.

I can't say that there is too much to discuss about this chapter- it was kind of just an overview of what a trainer's role is. And of course, the Code of Ethics. 

One of the study guide requirements is to write out all of the definitions of the bold faced words... here's a funny-- when's the last time you really wrote something that you might use to read again later? Sure, I take notes in meetings at work, or scribble grocery lists, but really writing like this is weird, I keep criti I think my hand is tired!

Back to School

It's September 1st. Labor Day is 2 days away, and for most of MN- school starts on Tuesday! It makes me want to go back to school too! So, I decided it was time to go for my personal training certification.

I have enrolled (and paid for) the class, and am (slightly impatiently) waiting for my texts to arrive. In the mean time they allow me to view the first lesson online. I've started reading, but the weather is beautiful and it's hard to be inside at a computer.. so I'm hoping the books come quickly!  

Based on what I'm seeing online, it works like this: there are 18 chapters. The package I bought comes with the texts, and study guide, videos to watch, and an online quiz. I have until 2/28/13 to test for my certification (and get my CPR certification). So this basically means- a chapter a week. I can do this! I'm thinking I might try and set aside one night a week for "class". But we will see once everything arrives!

I'm super excited! Can you tell?! I hope this is blog worthy! :)
