Lincoln Blandford provides a personal trainer’s perspective.

Personal training is one of the few careers in which you can push your clients to their absolute physical limits, especially with resistance training. Although the rewards for personal training are high, the aspiring trainer needs to consider what is at stake. Whether your clients are celebrities, athletes, bodybuilders or just wanting to ‘look good for the beach’ they have placed trust in your skills and knowledge.

The responsibility for producing an engaging, challenging resistance training programme for a wide range of clients is not to be taken lightly. The chance of injury must be minimised, the whole body must be targeted in a balanced approach and the results that the paying client demands must be achieved. To do this, trainers need to understand how the body’s muscles move its joints.
