This package includes the following:
  • Smarter Workouts ebook
  • Online continuing education exam
Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple gives you efficient and effective workout programs that use only one piece of equipment. Help your clients work out in a shorter period of time without expensive equipment or gym memberships—all while targeting their personal goals.

Exercise doesn’t have to be difficult to figure out. In Smarter Workouts, fitness expert Pete McCall explains the effects of exercise on the body so you can identify what will work best for your clients. You’ll get access to workouts designed to work smarter while delivering maximum results. You and your clients can pick one target: improving mobility, strengthening the core, or amping up metabolism with sweat-inducing conditioning work. Then select from among the equipment options: bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, stability balls, sandbags, or resistance bands. The variety of exercises and organized plans in this book will save valuable programming time for you, and precious workout time for your clients, while producing real results.

After reading the ebook, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.

Fast, efficient.

I applied to receive the exam and got the email and practice test within a minute. The practice test allowed me to prepare for the final exam and pass it on the first attempt. Thank you.

The Smarter Workouts book is a great addition for a personal trainer's library.

I enjoyed reading this book and was looking forward to receiving the CEC's for my certification. The book is well written and prepared me for this exam. (I could not have successfully taken the exam without the book.) I definitely wanted to see if what I learned, that I could earn those CECs. And yes, all worth it!
