Training Session #1 Reflection
On the date of Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at 2:00pm, I had performed the
initial fitness assessment with my client. It expressed a lot of the strengths and
weaknesses the client had in regards to his fitness capabilities. He definitely has leg
power, and ability to do push-ups. He has weakness in the flexibility component as well
as his back muscles need some work in the muscle endurance area. Our first official
training session was held on Wednesday, February 4th, 2015 at 12:00pm at the high
performance gym facility. Before the training session, the results of the fitness
assessment (Pages 30-31) were interpreted to the client in order for him to understand
why there are specific areas that will be worked on during the first few sessions. The
objective for the first session was to observe the client’s exercise form as well as ability
to comprehend my instructions and perform them. A full body training session was done
due to the fact that the client is not on a consistent fitness program therefore he was
considered a beginner. Flexibility was a component that was added into the client’s
program in order to improve in this fitness component.

The second training session was held on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 at
12:00pm. During this session, the objective still consisted of focusing on getting exercise
technique done properly. Major muscle groups were worked within this training session
as well. A barbell was added to the client’s deadlift exercise form to progress his
difficulty for this particular exercise. In addition, the flexibility type of cool down was
again performed to increase his muscular ROM as well as increase his flexibility.

On the date of Wednesday, March 4th, 2015 at 12:00pm, the third session was
completed. This session specifically had a change in the warm-up by adding seated Y and
seated W pre-exercise movements due to the observation of the client’s protrusion of the
lower scapular area. His upper back also has a more natural rounding, which shows a
more prominent shoulder rounding posture. I incorporated the seated Y and seated W
warm-up exercise to activate the back and shoulder muscles that are necessary to open up
the client’s shoulders and improve his posture. In addition, within his strength-
conditioning component, I included more core-focused exercise during the last few
minutes of the session due to the client’s request. His core needed more strengthening in
order to improve his exercise posture, which will allow for a more neutral spine rather
than a rounded back.

The fourth training session was done on Wednesday, March 11th, 2015 at
12:00pm in the high performance gym facility. The main focus within this session was to
perfect the previously done exercises as well as progress/challenge certain exercises that
the client had already been performing well. Since the client’s push up technique was
correctly done during previous sessions, I challenged the client through this exercise by
adding the bosu ball. The balance aspect was definitely a change for the client. A few of
the client’s loaded strength exercises progressed by increasing the weight. Client’s
flexibility was slightly improving as each session consisted of flexibility cool down.

On the date of Monday, March 16th, 2015 at 11:00am, my client informed me
that he had injured himself the week before during his recreational hockey game. He had
injured his left hip, which had acquired inflammation and soreness. Due to my client’s
injury, I had to change my objective for this training session and instead, focused on
relaxing and stretching the client’s lower body. The session consisted of 2
flexibility/stretching components, one set of stretches were performed before strength
conditioning component of the session, and another set of stretches for the lower
body/hip was performed after. All stretches focused on hip abductor muscles, which was
the area the client felt his muscle pain. The strength-conditioning component only
focused on the upper body such as the chest muscles, arm muscles, back muscles,
shoulder muscles, and core. The client did explain that the stretching helped slightly
relieve some of his left hip pain after the session.

The sixth training session reflected the same type of objective as the fifth
training session due to the client’s left hip injury. The training session was held on
Wednesday, March 18th, 2015 at 12:00pm. The same idea of having 2 stretching
components within the training session was incorporated as well as an upper body
focused strength component. The only difference was that the weight increased for all the
loaded upper body exercises to incorporate the progression aspect of fitness. By this time,
the client had expressed that his hip injury was slightly better than how it felt during the
Monday training session; therefore recovery of the hip was progressing. I encouraged the
client to put ice on the area to reduce any swelling/soreness that it may still have.

On the date of Tuesday, March 24th, 2015 at 12:00pm, the seventh training
session was completed in the Humber general gym facility. By this time, the client’s left
hip had recovered but I still took precaution towards the type of exercises prescribed to
the client. The objective during this session was to increase weight for exercises that the
client had become comfortable with in order to progress as well as not bore the client. I
also focused on power by adding a plyometric type of exercise, the split squat jumps. I
did ask the client to express any pain that he may have during the session but it seemed
that the client was capable to perform the lower body exercise very well. A new
back/core exercise was added to expose the client to a new exercise, which were the
supermans. Within the cool down of the session, I also wanted to focus on teaching the
client how to foam roll certain muscles of the body to show him how much myofascial
release is effective on relieving muscle soreness. He was not used to the feeling but due
to his muscle tightness, the foam rolling at first felt painful but as it progressed the client
did feel relief.

The eighth and final training session was held on Tuesday, March 31st, 2015 at
10:30am. The objective for the final session was to incorporate all the exercises that were
performed with the client throughout the on-campus training semester. I decided to
expose the client to circuit type training since he has improved his exercise techniques
very well. With circuit training, power and strength fitness components are focused on. I
did warn the client during the previous training session to prepare for a more intense
workout session for the final session. The exercise forms were done fairly well, client’s
cardio/ aerobic fitness ability can use some work, as he was a little winded from the
circuits. He did however, see the importance of continuous exercise and despite the
challenge of circuit training, he expressed an interest in doing more circuit type training
for his future exercise programs.
Within this final session, the client also provided me with constructive feedback
and reviewed his assessment with me. I responded to my client by appreciating his great
cooperation and having the pleasure to work with a very easy going and understanding
client.
