THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PROFESSION

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PROFESSION
If you like to move, and you do not want to sit in the office from morning to evening — choose the profession of a fitness instructor. There are many pleasures in this work: classes to the music, smiles of satisfied clients, and even pay for the fact that you train yourself and keep fit. You can work on a flexible schedule and choose from a huge number of specializations to your liking.

A fitness instructor has many career options. You can achieve such heights in your specialization that you will become a welcome guest in fitness conventions, where you can demonstrate your technique. Or start teaching beginners yourself. Another very logical way is to go to the management of a fitness club: it is from instructors that the best fitness managers grow, then fitness directors, and then, if you have ambitions and abilities, there is a direct road to the club managers or even the network. Another area is the improvement of one's qualifications for work as a personal trainer. Here the possibilities are almost endless. You can find your niche and specialization: from preparing athletes for fitness bikini competitions to the rehabilitation after serious injuries of the musculoskeletal system. This is a very highly paid job — if you have a reputation and confirmed success stories when clients begin to recommend you and pass you on hand. At this level, you can already open your own studio when the flow of customers is guaranteed by your previous work.

BE READY FOR DIFFICULTY — IN THE BEGINNING
From the outside, it seems that the work of the instructor is always a continuous celebration. This is so — when you love your job, and when enough experience has already been accumulated to conduct a group lesson “on the machine,” easily and naturally adjusting the load depending on the reaction of the groups. In the beginning, almost every beginner instructor has difficulties in order to “get into” music; there is not enough attention at the same time on choreography, music, and teams. Not all clients are equally pleasant — some, for some reason, do not like your style, they are capricious and refuse to do what you give them, they say that the previous instructor did everything differently. Supporting one’s form sometimes ends with injuries (and one needs to work!), And somehow I don’t feel like getting up for morning training at 7-8 a.m. But this is all surmountable — after some time many difficulties go away, and the pleasures really added with experience. Remember the main thing — if you want to become a good fitness instructor, be prepared to overcome yourself at first.

TEACH ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND BIOMECHANICS HERE GOOGLE

In principle, it is also possible to work without all this knowledge (alas, some do so). There is a huge amount of information on the Internet, you can find thousands of exercises at any time. But without your own knowledge, your work will simply be copying movements. Without anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics in any way. Whatever specialization you choose in the future (personal trainer, Pilates or children's fitness), you must understand the anatomical subtleties and laws of the functioning of the body in order to correctly draw up training programs for your clients. Imagine that a client came to your training session who for some reason (for example, an injury or joint disease) can neither push up nor squat. And these are one of the most popular exercises that you will be the first to find when searching on the Internet. They are one of the most effective. If you have enough knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics, you can analyze this situation and still give the client an adequate load, picking up other exercises or other variations, etc. A knowledgeable coach will have a lot of different ways to give the planned load. So if at school you preferred to skip the lessons of anatomy and physiology, then it's time to buy school books on these topics in the bookstore and study them again (preferably, before you go to the Basic course — it will be a little easier to study!). Of course, besides anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics, there is still a lot of everything you need to know, but start with this!

LEARN THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE
This is a vital point. In a literal sense. If you want to work as a fitness instructor happily ever after, put yourself a technique right away. For former athletes, it’s easier — they have a culture of movement “in the blood”. And those who are not seriously involved in sports in childhood and adolescence will have to work separately on technology. In your role model, you should have sports gymnasts, artists, synchronized dancers, ballroom dancers, ballet dancers, in the end. Posture, the position of the back, body, and limbs during movements — all this, in the long run, will protect against injuries and problems with the musculoskeletal system. The trainers have heavy loads, and if for some years some wrong movements are made, this, in the end, will be reflected in the back and knees, without which it is problematic to work as an instructor.
