How do i become a personal fitness trainer?
Hello, I am 15 years old and I am obsessed with fitness and nutrition.I have no idea what to take in high school to become a personal trainer and maybe even a nutritionist. The only thing I am taking in High School now is Food for Fitness and Food and Nutrition. What other things do I have to take to become a future Fitness Trainer.
You’ll need to be an experienced athlete yourself (which you probably are, with all the athletic activities you are doing) and you will need to take some courses after you finish high school.
You will need the following:
1. AFAA (Aerobics and fitness association of America)
2. NSCA ( National strength and conditioning association)
3. ACE ( American council on exercise)
4. NASM ( American college of sports medicine)
5. A degree from a post secondary institution in one or more of ( Physiology, exercise science, kinesiology, physical education, sports medicine, fitness management.)
6. Experience (two years normally)
I got the answer from my source below.

What should a man in his fifties fitness program look like?
I am interested in what other men in their fifties do for high level fitness training. I have been working out throughout my adult life but I wonder how other guys have adapted their workouts.
Many men don’t get regular physicals. If you have seen your doctor and have been given approval, then up your level. For this, talk to a trainer who understands the needs of men at this age. If your knees are in good shape, and your heart is good, and you pass a Thalium stress test, I don’t see why there would be a need to cut back.
