Exercise
Experts are Available
If you are a
high-risk patient who needs supervised exercise,
your doctor will refer you to a Clinical
Exercise Physiologist or a Clinical Exercise
Specialist. Otherwise healthy individuals may
still benefit from a non-clinical fitness
professional such as a Health Fitness Specialist
or a certified personal trainer. Use the ACSM ProFinder to
find one in your
area.
If
you choose to work with a fitness expert, find
out about their costs, areas of expertise and
types of clients they assist. Ask for a free
assessment or trial period. Make sure they are
ACSM-certified. Call their references. Be clear
about your
expectations.
