How to PASS NASM Top Vocab Words

Pass NASM in 30-days with Show Up Fitness Study Guide & ONLINE Zoom calls.

Don't get hung up on the statistics on passing the NASM-CPT

With the NASM exam pass rate being only 65%, and the retest fees being so steep, it’s best to have proper direction in order to study the most important areas. PT Pioneer

I've taught NASM material for over 10-years now beginning when I was an instructor at NPTI which is where we got the idea (just a lot better) to start our personal training internship program in Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin Texas & ONLINE. If you want to become a personal trainer, start with getting a certification like NASM-CPT, ACE, ISSA, NSCA or ACSM and then get into a training internship to gain SUPERVISED EXPERIENCE ASAP.

First things first&YOU WILL PASS NASM, SHOW UP FITNESS WILL HELP YOU! I can only imagine how many people FAIL the NASM-CPT by trying to study the entire 7th edition NASM Essentials of Personal Fitness Training – IT'S 800+ pages! At Show Up Fitness, Meagan Harbison (ACT7VE on YouTube & IG) & I have helped over 2,000 people pass with our study guide. Personal training Interns who go through our program (in-person & ONLINE which includes our study guide) pass with flying colors – over a 97.5% pass rate! As we stress on our WEEKLY CALLS, DO NOT read the ENTIRE 7th editition textbook, focus on the SHOW UP FITNESS STUDY GUIDE & ZOOM CALLS (HERE) which includes 40-pages of material to focus on – MEAGAN passed in 7 without the textbook, just the guide. Here's a glimpse into what you will be receiving when you buy our guide HOW TO PASS NASM 7th edition

TOP NASM Vocab Words to flashcard and memorize in 2022 for the CPT:

Autogenic Inhibition: Prolonged Golgi tendon organ stimulation that provides an inhibitory action to muscle spindles located within the same muscle. NASM 7th Edition pg. 882 & 445 / NASM PODCAST HERE
Reciprocal Inhibition: When an agonist receives a signal to contract, its functional antagonist also receives an inhibitory signal allowing it to lengthen. NASM 7th Edition pg. 895, 208, 443, 447. READ MORE ABOUT Reciprocal Inhibition from Physical Therapists The PREHAB Guys HERE. ALTERED Reciprocal Inhibition occurs when an overactive active agonist muscle decreases the neural drive to its functional agonist.
Synergistic Dominance: The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergists take over function for a weak or inhibited prime mover (agonist). NASM 7th Edition pg. 898, 443. Read more about synergistic dominance from Physical Therapist Dr. Brent Brookbush HERE

4. Relative Flexibility: The process in which the bod seeks the path of least resistance during functional movement. NASM 7th Edition pg. 895 & 439. ALSO seen as, “Increased mobility or frequency of movement in a joint adjacent to a body part with restricted mobility. Relative flexibility can account for overuse, sprain, or strain of a joint due to stiffness in an adjacent joint” on Medical Dictionary HERE.

5. Hypertension: Consistently high blood pressure. Chart on 356. NASM 7th Edition pg. 775 & 164.

6. Body Mass Index: The measurement of a person's weight relative to his or her height, which is used to estimate the risks of obesity. BMI Equation: weight (kg) / height (m)2. NASM 7th Edition pg. 358. KNOW THE RANGES BELOW & the equation.

7. Planes of Motion: The planes of motion in which the human body moves (pages 192-195), which include:

Sagittal plane: An imaginary bisector that divides the body into left and right halves allowing for flexion & extension in the anatomical position.
