Remember that exercise duration refers to the amount of time in an exercise session that aerobic conditioning is occurring. Exercise intensity measures the workload or how hard the heart is working. The most common way of increasing aerobic exercise intensity is to increase the speed at which the activity is performed. For instance, walking faster or jogging can increase a walker's exercise intensity. Another way to increase intensity is to increase the number of muscles you're using. For example, playing basketball uses both upper and lower body muscles.
The client looking to improve her level of physical fitness will benefit most from a high-intensity workout. High-intensity aerobic workouts and low-impact aerobic classes improve both cardiovascular and respiratory function as well as increase muscle fiber use. Clients focusing more on the health benefits they can receive from exercise gain the most from moderate-intensity workouts done for a longer duration.
Moderate- intensity workouts, such as brisk walking, provide health benefits including lowered blood pressure, reduced body fat, improved psychological health , and a reduced risk of heart disease and other diseases.
There are many methods of preparing a competitive athlete for his or her sport. One such method is called tapering.Tapering reduces training intensity and duration as the competition day approaches while focusing on competitive technique and nutritional therapy that allow for peak performance. Tapering allows glycogen stores to be replenished and tissue repair to occur, and it keeps the athlete focused on the upcoming competition.

Exercise Frequency
You already know that exercise frequency refers to how many time each week the client performs the aerobic activity . Training too frequently can increase a client's chance of injury, while training too infrequently can hinder the client's fitness progress. Most effective cardiorespiratory programs require the client to exercise at least three days a week with no more than two days between exercise sessions.
There are several factors the personal fitness trainer must consider when deciding what a client's exercise frequency should be . Clients who are new to exercise generally require more recovery time between exercise sessions than more experienced exercisers from 36 to 48 hours between workouts is sufficient.
Exercise done at a high intensity and for longer durations also calls for a longer recovery period than those exercises performed at a lower intensity for less time.
When a client is a competitive athlete, training frequency must be varied depending on the sport season and competition times. During the off season, an athlete may exercise frequently in a different manner or choose to train infrequently to give his body a rest. The preseason often calls for the athlete to train daily or even multiple times per day, while training should be scaled back on days prior to competition once the sport's season begins. As a beginning personal fitness trainer, you probably won't work much with competitive athletes, as working with such clients often requires specialized training.

Nutrition and Weight Loss
To reduce overall body weight, a negative energy balance is necessary.Advising a client to reduce the number of calories he consumes is a key factor in producing a negative energy balance.It is a mistake to think that clients automatically will make healthful changes to their diet when they begin exercising.In fact, studies show that health behaviors such as exercise involvement and healthy eating tend to be unrelated,and many people continue unhealthy eating despite participation in an exercise program.
Obesity Issues
You know that obesity puts a client at a higher risk for several health conditions. Therefore, it is essential that the personal fitness trainer asks clients to obtain physician clearance.Besides the health risks that obese clients face, these individuals also may encounter greater difficulties in engaging in exercise as a result of their body size.Obese clients often have decreased joint range of motion and are more likely to suffer from joint trauma during activity.By making exercise modifications the personal fitness trainer can increase client comfort. For instance,if a client's body size prevents him from using certain resistance machines comfortably, the personal fitness trainer can employ hand weights, rubber tubing, or medicine balls as an alternative source of resistance.

Eating right
Combination of eating right and working out regularly is a great method to lose weight and help prevent heart disease.A crash diet slows down your metabolic rate. When this happens, your body will store energy instead of burning it and you will actually gain weight.
Brisk Walking
2.5 Hours a week of moderate intensity aerobic activity,such as brisk walking can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.
