*Reflection

The meeting with Dwayne and Christina (a trainer in training, and from Lock Haven!) was an open discussion about the workouts, pre-exhaust, and explanation of exercise order.  This was a very productive meeting and it especially helped me with getting know the workout circuits better because it was more interactive than just reading the modules.  I was able to get “quizzed” on what single joint and compound muscles were working in each exercise and what was the benefitting and limiting factors.

When working with the teen athletes, I was partnered up with Christina who has a pretty strong background with strength and conditioning.  We demonstrated to the teens how to correctly execute their exercises.  This lasted for about an hour.

In the second meeting with Dwayne and Christina, we went over Module 1 and summarized what we had read and if the first module needed any additional information or if some of the information needed to be taken out.  Our homework was to come up with ten questions that were to test the trainers in training about Module 1.
