What's up guys Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! Today we're back to talking about programming personal training sessions. When we're talking about program design as a personal trainer, you can sort most trainers into a few groups. Group 1: Trainers not keeping track of client progression or workouts Group 2: Trainers who are spending way too much time programming Group 3: Trainers who've found an efficient way to create sessions/programs Of course, my goal is to get as many of you into the third group, or efficient programming personal trainers, as possible. We also go over many other aspects of creating effective personal training sessions. Things such as which compound lifts to include, training session progression over time, and phasing/periodization are all covered as well! All of our training systems are newly updated for 2023 as well! I'm sure all of you will find this one helpful, as always, thanks for your support!

What's up guys Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! In this video we'll finish up going over basic muscular anatomy. This video, the one that focuses on lower body muscular anatomy, and the one that focuses on skeletal anatomy, all teach the basics in a clear and easy way. Links to the other two videos are below. Lower body muscle anatomy: https://youtu.be/Iu8vkjbhNw0 Skeletal muscle anatomy: https://youtu.be/yr2-rMt0gAg If you're planning on taking a personal trainer certification exam, such as an ACE or NASM exam, all of this information should be useful to you. If you're planning on taking an MBLEX exam, these anatomy videos should be helpful to you as well. If you're a personal trainer or massage therapist already working in the field and you're looking for some anatomy review, you're in the right place as well! Some of the upper body are core muscles that we focused on in todays video are: The triceps brachii The biceps brachii Brachialis Pec minor Pec major Trapezius Rhomboid major and rhomboid minor Latissimus Dorsi Serratus anterior Rectus abdominus Transversus abdominus Internal obliques, external obliques Quaratus lumborum Teres major The rotator cuff etc. Thanks for the continued support everyone!

What's up guys Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! In today's video we'll be going over muscular anatomy for the lower body. In this video I aim to break down basic lower body muscle anatomy in a way that will be useful for personal trainers and massage therapists in particular. Personal Trainers and massage therapists need to have a general understanding of the lower body muscles, but we don't need to be experts in all areas. Whether you're studying for a personal trainer certification exam, like your NASM, or ACE exam, or for an MBLEX exam, or maybe you're just looking for some muscle review , we've got you covered! Some of the muscle groups that we'll be focusing on in particular are: The quadricep muscles The hamstring muscles The gluteus muscles The TFL or Tensor Fasciae Latae The Gastrocnemius and soleus and many more! We'll also be focusing in on different muscle actions such as flexion, extension, abduction, etc. We'll be breaking down these muscle motions because that will allow for a greater understanding of what muscles really do, and it will allow us to understand interactions between prime movers and antagonist muscles. Thanks for the continued support everyone! It's very appreciated!
