Certification for Training Obese Clients
I am wondering how much experience everyone has training morbidly obese clients?
In 5+ years of being a full-time indy trainer I have only had 1 morbidly obese client. It reminded me of coming directly from a NCAA Div 1 Strength & Conditioning program to 9-5 office workers.
Most of the techniques I use with healthy clients either had to be severely modified or left out of the exercise.
My question is, do they have or should there be a special certification for training the morbidly obese people which physical activity could may well be a matter of life and death?
