Instructions

  1. Emphasize your ability to work with people. One of the key elements of Curves clubs is the social atmosphere members enjoy. Oftentimes, a visit to Curves is the social highlight of the day. Owners will be looking for trainers who can make connections with members to keep them coming. Also, trainers must be comfortable with instructing members about how to use the strength-training machines.
  2. Tout your passion for health and fitness. On your application or in an interview, be sure to talk about your belief in good health and strength training for women. Curves focuses on the benefits of working out, including but not limited to weight loss. The gym’s client base is women over 40, so key benefits of exercise include maintaining bone density and keeping the heart strong.
  3. Mention sales experience. Part of the job of trainers at Curves is to bring in new members. Some clubs pay commissions for sales. Others offer other incentives. Owners are constantly trying to recruit new members, and trainers are key players in that effort. If you have sales experience, be sure to include it on an application and talk about it during an interview.

How to Use a Tired Swimmer Carry

How to Use a Tired Swimmer Carry - “How to Rescue Someone Drowning” I described “Reach, Throw, Row and Go,” the steps that you should take, in their order, to save a drowning victim. Use the same procedures for a tired swimmer, but let’s assume that you’re now in the water. Let me make the distinction clear: a drowning person is usually in full panick mode. You want to keep your distance. A tired swimmer just needs help. This problem might arise if you’re simply out frolicking in the surf with a friend who wearies. Instructions As you approach a tired swimmer ask what is wrong. Offer to swim with the victim. This is the easiest and simplest method.

Swimming: How Does a Fish Swim?

Image
Anatomy of a FishWhile watching your pet fish swimming around in their watery home, you may find yourself wondering how they seem to swim so easily. Their skeletons and muscles work together to allow them to swim, along with their fins and something called a swim bladder. Using the Skeleton and Muscles The primary function of the skeleton is to aide movement of other parts. The skull is the only truly fixed part of a fish. It does not move in and of itself but acts as a point of stability for other bones. These other bones act as levers that cause movement of the fish’s body. While the bones provide the movement, the muscles supply the power. A typical fish has hundreds of muscles running in all directions around its body. This is why a fish can turn and twist and change directions quickly. Using the Fins As water passes over its body, a fish uses its fins to thrust in the direction it wishes to go. The caudal fins supply most of the thrust. The pelvic, dorsal and pectorals assist in s
