A new client has made an appointment with you to discuss the option of you to become her
personal trainer. The prospective client is a female 28 years old and a little overweight with
no previous strength training experience. The prospective client has specifically explained
she doesn’t want to do strength work as she has been told that it will develop her muscles
and make her “bulk up” and become very big and heavy. In her quest to lose weight you
understand the need for some strength training in her program and must work out how to
convince her that her understanding of the effect of strength training is a misconception.

client gain better understanding of the value of strength training. Use the following as a
guide to help with your response. You must provide at least 1 reference from a trusted
