Hi everyone!
I need some help please.
Portuguese legislation has forced me to retake my fitness certification. So I am hitting the books to meet the deadline.
The latest assignment involves drawing up a training proposal for a fictional client.
What I need help with is “running the numbers” for the following scenario. Anyone with fitness related expertise could look at the scenario and make comments I would be much obliged.
Data:
38 year old male, Arterial Pressure = 134/87 mmHg, e Glycolic Index = 110 mg /dL.
Resting Heart Rate = 66bpm, Mass = 85kg.
Body Mass Index = 2.69 (Borderline Overweight) needs to lose 7 kg to reach target weight 78kg.
Cardiovascular Testing Data
1 Mile Walk = 14.37min
1 Mile Run = 8m33s
Heart Rate after test: 147bpm
VO2Max= 42,5 ml/kg.min (Rating = Good)
Muscular Endurance Test Data
Push Up Test = 26 Push Ups
Curl Up Test = 38 Curl Ups
1RM Supine Press = 80 x 1 …. 80
1RM Leg Press = 120 x 2 = 123
Scenario:
I must outline a training program which addresses the following:
Client works 6 days with 2 off days, shifts alternate between morning, afternoon and midnight. Hence gym time is hard to come by. The program must: cover the initial 1 month of training; provide a balance of Strength and Cardio Training and; provide a balance between Free Weights, Machines and Body Weight Exercises.
Goals are simply to "loose weight", "increase health" and "lower blood pressure".
Equipment at home....
Barbell with total 90kg
Dumbell set 20kg
Stationary bike
Stationary rower
Chin up bar
Medicine ball 4kg
Heavy bag
Skipping Rope
Many thanks!
