Overview of the seminar
Unfortunately, as instructors increasingly focus on the musculoskeletal system, many people are left failing to realise the health benefits of improved cardiovascular fitness. It is clearly a professional responsibility of any instructor, whatever their specialisation, to prescribe cardiovascular exercise.
