I just completed the Exercise online 8 week course and have been working with the Exercise CD. I scheduled my exam for the end of April. I will study until the day of the exam. Is there anything else I need to know about the exam?

Hi everyone, I finally got to take the test this morning and did pretty well thankfully! The amazing thing is that today is EXACTLY one month from the date I had my cervical laminectomy. I am glad I had the surgery BEFORE the test because I never could have lasted thru the test with the pain I had before m...

PASSED!!!!! Holy Cow! I am spent yet revved up! There were 5 other people taking the ACE PT test and 2 others taking different unrelated tests in the room. Wow, I'm glad that's over. And now I realized there wasn't one calculation that I had to do that delt with BMI or Karvonen! And I studied them until I co...

Hi everyone, I'm very excited to tell you that I am actually taking the exam later this month (Sept 18th). I booked it this morning. I had been keeping my eye on that date since this past Saturday since I was already starting to feel really great. I figured if I kept progressing at the rate I was, that I...

Sorry, maybe it's a silly question. But what is it, actually? DVD, workshop, extra materials? I didn't find it anywhere in the list of ACE products . It seems to be very helpful though, for many of you. Could you, pleeeese, help!

Hi guys! What methods are you all using to master the anatomy piece of the curriculum? I'm finding this to be the most overwhelming piece to conquer. Any tips? Thanks!!!

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to update you on stuff. My pain level has really escalated unfortunately. I can't sit for more than 20 minutes w/o feeling really awful l so I've decided I'm going to get myself well first and then worry about the exam. There's no way I could make it thru a 3-4 hour exam feeling l...

Hi everyone, Still studying away while I'm waiting to get past this health stuff and had something I wanted to ask anyone who might be able to lend their perspective on. I may have posted this on the other site, I've also written to Guy Andrews at Exercise etc. and untypically have not heard back from him...

Jan · Jan

Has anyone found any books or sites that give good information on writing case studies?

Gary · Gary

I hope I didnt give the impression that all was ambigious. Cant really put a percentage on how much was and maybe it was just me. I studied for about two months and from reading the posts many of you have studied longer and would thus have a broader knowledge base on which to make decisions. I didnt have...

I have been watching the boards for quite some time now and really gained some great insight prior to taking the exam. Ordered the materails May 7, 2008 and was in receipt less than a week later. Studied religiously and thought that I was prepared or the exam so I registered. The date was this past Fri...

Hi everyone, I did this detailed summary (isn't that an oxymoron?) of the Special Populations chapter. There is probably a way to consolidate all of the programs that are similar but I haven't gotten around to doing that.

Just unreal - It was SO hard. I'd say 50% was nothing I read from the text, or saw on the Ex,etc disk- all took analysis, and I thought for sure I was failing through the whole thing. First thing- I get to the computer test center and didn't have some ACE ID number with me (although I had all the printed...

I want to start studying for the ACE Personal trainer exam. I have two young children so I can't really say when I am actually going to take the test.

I know Scott talked about this on the ACE discussion but I couldn't find it.... This is the one about 117 lb woman doing heavy endurance. How much protein does she need.... Ok....117 lbs = 53.18 kg If consider high end of active (1gm/kg), 53.18 x 4 (cal/gm protein) = 212 (not correct answer, but a choice...

I know I'm late in asking this...but... what sources are ya'll using for muscles used during particular exercises? I mean outside of the few that are in the book? I'm finding some exercises that are not in the book...the disk that comes with the musculoskeletal anatomy book just list "flexio...

jbenninger · jbenninger

and what you needed to just store somewhere in your mind? I just started reading thru the manual and since this is new to me I'm having a hard time knowing where to focus my energies.

Vonni · Vonni

Wow, I'm nervous ~ Totally waffling between feeling ready and wondering if I'm ready. I'll be reviewing it all again and continuing pre-tests next 2 days. Whatevah right? It's not life or death! If I don't pass- I'll take it again. ..........But I hope, hope, hope I pass!

Vonni · Vonni

I apologize if this is a stupid question- It's so basic and yet I've been confused about it from the start of studying... Ok, all we can measure aerobically in people in the real world is heart rate. Without specialized equipment we can't measure oxygen volume consumed during exercise. So why is it...
