As a strength coach or personal trainer, continuing education is essential. Simply developing the habit of learning through reading can be beneficial to improving knowledge and ensuring you are at the forefront of training information. In a 2010 study from the European Journal of Social Psychology, it was established that it takes on average 66 days to create a new habit. If you diligently read and apply one strategy every day for the next 66 days, you will develop and or improve the habit of learning. This book provides 66 program design strategies to help you as a strength coach or personal trainer refine your programming expertise.
