Week 4 Complete!

Week 4 into my quest to become a Personal Trainer is over, and what did I learn? Well, it was a tough week. My subject to learn for the week, as part of my Future Fit training, was the Circulation and Respiration.

This includes:

Intro to Circulation and Respiration
The Circulatory system and the heart
The blood vessels and blood
Blood pressure and the pulse
The respiratory system
The mechanics of respiration
Exercise and the circulatory system
Energy and oxygen
Oxygen and exercise

So basically I learnt the process of breathing in Oxygen and exhaling Carbon dioxide, the use of Oxygen in our body, how the Heart works (amazing piece of equipment) and how the lung work and finally how exercise effect our Oxygen intake and our Heart.

I thought I did pretty well with it this week, unfortunately I had to cram it all in to 2 nights of studying as I was pretty busy last week, but I will do some revision before I sit my Exams.

Talking of the Exams, I found out that I have to sit these in my own time and do them online. Which got me thinking that it should be pretty hard to fail, as I see no reason why I cant use study material as I complete the exams?? Is this wrong? Are they expecting me to sit my exams in an empty room with no other visual aid and not to use the Internet? Or do they expect me to use my study material to pass the exams? Who knows? Either way, I have worked hard these last 3 weeks to learn all the material, so either way I expect I can pass the Anatomy exams and move on to my next course.

This week is the final part of the Anatomy course – Introduction to Exercise. This part is smaller than the others, so my aim to to finish this tomorrow night, and then on Thursday and Friday to revise everything I have learnt. I will then sit the exams either Friday night, or Sunday. With results taking 2 days to process.
