The American Academy of Personal
Training (AAPT) provides trainers with several
opportunities for supplemental education.
Continuing education courses often focus
on new trends in exercise programming,
such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

3.  Some of the documented benefits of HIIT
include an increased resting metabolic rate
and improved post-exercise oxygen
consumption, elevated levels of physical
performance, and a decrease in body fat.
Other AAPT continuing education courses
allow trainers to concentrate on a specialized
area of fitness training, such as Olympic
weightlifting. The AAPT course in Olympic
weightlifting for personal trainers introduces
students to basic weightlifting techniques and
the natural levels of progression that clients
should be led through.

4.  Like most continuing education courses,
the class includes both a lecture
component as well as a period of hands-on
training.
