I'm a fairly new trainer and I'm getting certified under NASM. Looking at the quote above I have two questions if you don't mind:

1. How do you get the SMR, stretching, cardio, etc. from NASM's OPT model to fit in one hour? That seems pretty tight.

2. I like the OPT model but it seems a bit....busy...I guess is the right word. Can NASM's approach contribute to trainer burnout?

Thanks!
