Anti-Aging Benefits of Exercise

The focus of the presenter on the physical appearance of potential clients and saying that we need to have a conversation with them about if they want to age like Brad Pitt or the other actor he mentioned were outdated references that I don't think are constructive for current or future Personal Trainers. We should be focusing on how physical exercise makes a person feel and how it benefits aging populations in relation to how their body functions, not on how it affects physical appearance. Not to mention that you can't guarantee a client will age more gracefully if they exercise regularly. It might be beneficial for ACE to have another presentation on this topic with more updated information, especially since this seems to have been a presentation from 2015 (this is the year that was on the slides of the presentation). It's been a decade since this presentation was hosted, and it didn't age well.

This course was way too complicated for the average trainer and gym member seeking to improve their physical fitness. I understand that ACE is all about science-based information and training, but if the information is too complicated to be conveyed to the average person, we will lose people and their enthusiasm for achieving their fitness goals. Simple is effective communication and keeps people interested in pursuing their fitness goals.

Great information. I recommend that the main speaker slows down.

To be clear, the information was very good and I learned a tremendous amount. However, there was a substantial amount of subjective information (including results from studies) that we are to digest in order to take the quiz. Given this was not a 'live talk (like Farel Hruska) there were way too many slides with information. Farel's information was thought-provoking, sprinkled with slides and given in a more conversational tone. This was, in my opinion, too weighty to only be worth the 0.1 credit(s) earned and should be bumped up to either 0.2 or 0.3.
