Case Study: Coaching a Sedentary Client.

The article offers guidelines for personal trainers on helping inactive clients make lifestyle changes, in relation to the partnership of Carol Kennedy-Armbruster and Martin Siegel. One solution for inactive clients is to focus on lifestyle activity. Activities that can burn calories include cleaning, dancing and gardening. Instead of explaining exercise guidelines, Siegel was given a pedometer and instructed to record daily steps. Kennedy-Armbruster looked for activities that could just easily be done standing up as sitting down.
