Week 23: Personal Trainer Certification Complete! Dec 9-15
By Cindy Posey | December 19, 2007
One of my goals this year was to complete my Personal Training Certification! While in Texas, I took the Cooper Institute Personal Trainer (CI-CPT) test, one of seven accredited certifications by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) for personal trainers. I was introduced to Cooper Institute through the Navy to oversee and develop the physical training program for my command. I was excited to see the campus in Dallas. The facilities were wonderful.
Sunday: I completed a 2 mile run around Southwestern University and my old neighborhood. The weather was great.
Monday: I completed 3 sets/12 repetitions using resistance bands for the upper body exercises:
- Bicep Curls
- Seated Row
- Tricep Extensions
- Squats
- Lunges
- Calf raises
- Forward Leaning leg extensions
- V-situps
- Crunches
- Side sit-ups/oblique presses
- Leg raises
I took the rest of the week off. The last few days before making the trip back to Texas was spent with family and friends. I had a wonderful time catching up! Friday and Saturday were spent on the road returning to Tennessee. Asher and Stephanie were great on the trip back. Chuck E Cheese was a lifesaver!

Congratulations, Cindy!
congratulations!! I’ve heard wonderful things about the Cooper Institute and someday hope to go and visit!
more congrats for making the car trip with two toddlers. I get anxious just thinking about it!!
Congratulations on your accomplishment! Sounds like you had a great time.
Now that you’ve earned your personal trainer certification, what is your next goal?
Congratulations Cindy, I am happy for you. I have been a personal trainer now for 18 years. I still remember the feeling when I found out I passed. Good luck to you on this journey. If I can help shoot me an email.
Thank you all.
Lisa, With a bit of planning and lots of treats/activities in the passenger seat, two little toddlers are in someways easier to handle strapped in the car! Of course, we took bathroom breaks and playground stops every two hours when the babies weren’t sleeping!
Susan, I’m not sure about my next goal. I’m doing a bit a research and debating about jumping back into the workforce or start consulting independently.
Rich, I may have to take you up on the offer sometime.
