HEDIR listserv members,



Last week, I asked for feedback on fitness certification organizations and any listservs or online resources. For those of you interested in the responses, the following is a brief summary:



Website for aerobic instructors: http://turnstep.com/

Website for fitness books/CDs/DVDs, etc.: http://www.exrx.net/

Website for K-12 PE: http://pecentral.org/



Listserv (only for Christian-based colleges) - based from the organization, Christian Society of Kinesiology and Leisure Studies:

http://www.wheaton.edu/Kinesiology/bwilliams/CSKLSHomepage/CSKLSFrame-1.htm



The four top certification organizations:



ACSM - American College of Sports Medicine - this is the "gold standard"
(most certifications require a college degree)

NSCA - National Strength and Conditioning Assoc - this is also recognized like ACSM, but generally more geared towards working with athletes/weight room, etc.

AFAA - Aerobics and Fitness Assoc. of America - good basic certification, more geared towards those working in fitness studios teaching group fitness classes

ACE - American Council on Exercise - okay basic certification



NASM - National Academy of Sports Medicine - a newer organization, not yet accredited or widely recognized outside of 24-hour fitness associates, but so far is getting okay reviews, as the seem to base their education/certifications off of ACSM and NSCAs information.
