Jim NonnemacherCertifications: American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Certified Personal Trainer National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certified Personal Trainer, CSCS Kripalu Certified Yoga Instructor LYS LMT #020736 Areas of interest: Running, cycling, weight training, and the science behind improved performance in these areas. Philosophy of Fitness: My philosophy of fitness can be summed up in one word: Balance. Many of the musculoskeletal problems people experience are due to muscle/muscle group imbalances that cause alignment problems. A well designed strength program ensures that opposing muscles/muscle groups are properly developed. The balance between strength and aerobic fitness is also important. While a good strength program addresses the needs of the musculo-skeletal system an aerobic program ensures that the cardiovascular system is in good health. And if weight management is a goal of the client, a balance between the strength and aerobic fitness programs is needed to attain and maintain a target weight/body composition. |
