Train smarter, not harder might be the motto of the National Exercise and Sports Training Association’s (NESTA) online Heart Rate Performance Specialist training program. Available online at http://www.nestacertified.com/heart-rate-training-program, the training offers scientific information on smart training techniques for athletes of all levels.

The self-paced, online training teaches personal trainers to objectively design—without any complicated math or guesswork—ideal heart rate training zones, creating ideal conditions for training smarter and safer. Likewise, clients learn to monitor and evaluate their progress when it comes to time, intensity and calorie burn for better overall training results.

“With our online Heart Rate Performance Specialist training, you can stop guessing if your training methods are working and get smart as you start monitoring and really listening to your body and your clients bodies,” said John Spencer Ellis, founder of NESTA. “You will be able to stand out from the personal training crowd by offering real, and measurable results for your clients based on this amazing knowledge. Even better, using a heart rate monitor is the most objective way to listen to your heart and track progress, which can actually help clients avoid heart disease.”

Heart rate training helps personal trainers structure programs, so that their clients and athletes train at the right intensity every session, automatically record workouts and results, optimize fat burning and increase overall performance. It also makes it easier for trainers to monitor, update and evaluate personal training programs and client progress.

In addition, NESTA’s self-paced online Heart Rate Performance Specialist training includes a more than $100 discount on POLAR heart rate monitors when bundled with the online training.
