Practice Test for Personal Trainers

I’ve created a practice test to help people study for ANY personal training test. The test is 100 questions and focuses on key areas that fitness trainers should know and has sections on the following

1. how to design exercise programs
2. anatomy and physiology
3. fitness testing
4. nutrition and sports nutrition
5. exercise science

You can easily score the test and see the sections you understand and those you need to know better. The test also has helpful hints on how to prepare for a certification test.  You can read more about the test at www.Joe-Cannon.com. This is an e book you download from my site. The test is listed on the right side of the homepage. just click on the  e book and you can read more.
