Just for chuckles, I’m investigating a personal-trainer certification program offered by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Once upon a time (early ’90s) I took some graduate courses in exercise physiology and was considering a master’s degree. Still have all of my textbooks in physiology, functional anatomy, etc., as well as some current books on designing strength programs etc.
If (big if) I decide to work toward certification, I’ll use the summer to study for it, then take the test in autumn. Summer is down time for me, as most of my musical commitments go on hiatus, leaving just a full-time job, my husband, six dogs, my fitness program, and occasional freelance articles to occupy me. Piece of cake, right?
We shall see. I’m not contemplating a career change but would like a new goal to work toward.
A woman’s reach should exceed her grasp, or what’s a heaven for? (Apologies to Robert Browning.)
