Foundations and Applications for a CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER WORKBOOK WORKBOOK ABOUT THE WORKBOOK This Workbook serves as a resource companion to your personal training textbook. The Workbook has been designed with one main purpose: to help you better understand the content of the main text. This is accomplished by focusing on important points and concepts, and having you write the answers directly in the guide. This way of studying also provides an easy way to follow the flow of the course text. If you follow along with the Workbook, you will have covered ALL of the main topics of the course text. Students employ different strategies to learn course materials and to prepare for the CPT Certification Exam. The most commonly used strategy employs reading and underlining text material; another includes outlining or writing key concepts. This Workbook encourages each of these methods. Experience has shown that individuals who faithfully use the Workbook achieve greater understanding of the course materials than those who do not use a Workbook.
