405 Full Circle Fitness<br />
JANICE HUTTON<br />
How often do fitness professionals stop and<br />
consider a long term approach to fitness? Do<br />
you personally have long term fitness goals?<br />
Do you work with your clients/participants to<br />
develop a long term fitness plan? The fitness<br />
industry is rather young and we tend to focus<br />
on fitness for today, rather than a plan for<br />
tomorrow. This lecture will help you design a<br />
long term fitness plan for yourself, your clients,<br />
members or participants and will give you<br />
great tools to be more visionary in your<br />
fitness design. In this session we will discuss the<br />
needs, attitudes and considerations for all<br />
types of individuals from kids to older adults<br />
to help you understand the value and<br />
necessity of developing full cycle fitness plans.<br />
You will leave with solid preparation to design<br />
a long term fitness plan immediately. (L) FIS,<br />
