What type of continuing education classes do you guys like to take?

Hi Robyn,

hands-down favorites are the IDEA conventions. I love to expose myself to many different ideas and take off from there if I feel it is a good fit (that’s where I was first introduced to MELT). I remember more than one conference where I felt that just one class alone was worth the entire expense.

This year, I also added a few NASM specialty certifications which are really just continuing education with a title at the end. I like those as well because they go into great depth and provide wonderful material.

IDEA conventions are top of the line- I’m also a fan of the Perform Better functional training summit as it is a mix of trainers, coaches and therapists. http://www.performbetter.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SeminarsDisplay?c…
It’s nice to network and learn with similar but different professionals and to stay current pear reviewed information.

It’s tough for me to get away for the conventions, (although I would really love to). Sometimes I use the CEC that accompany the journals, especially if it’s something of interest.

I am a fan of ACSM Health Journal Online Tests and workshops whenever I can

Hi if we’re talking ‘classes’ which your question does ask about, then I’d say any class that is interactive/hands-on. I spend a great deal of my time already online conducting research in pursuit of my writing/publication, so having the opportunity to actually do hands-on continuing education.
