Finally!!  The last post in the AFAA certification series.  If I’ve been a little long-winded, I apologize, but you never know what piece of information will be helpful to which person.  Thanks for making it this far in the series.   If you’d like to check out the previous posts, they are here:  Post 1,  Post 2,  Post 3,  Post 4.

MUSCLE GROUP DEMONSTRATIONS

This topic is covered in great detail during the workshop.  A presenter will take you through each muscle group and demonstrate several options for exercises you can perform for the demo.  You can also come up with a game plan prior to the workshop and use that opportunity to confirm that your choices are acceptable.  Here, we won’t discuss exercises you’ll do for this group, only what is expected during testing.

Here we are with another installment of the AFAA Certification series.  We’ve discussed the whole workshop from registration to completion, but in this post we’ll give a little more attention to what you should know about the Practical Exam.  This is a long one, so we’ll cover the cardiorespiratory demo here and the muscle groups + individual presentation next.  If you are interested in the previous posts, here they are: Post#1, Post #2, Post #3
