*Reflection

The article that I read basically disproved that working the core has an effect on athletic performance.  The article believed that working out the whole body and not just the core will make one a better athlete.   However, I felt that the studies that they did were not thorough and didn’t have enough information to disprove the core exercises.

I really like shadowing the trainers because the more I am familiar with the machines the better I will know them and be able to set-up a client.
