CONTRACT COURSE

The success of Military Exercise Leader trained by The Cooper Institute has attracted the attention of other similar groups such as 1^st Responders. As a result we’ve expanded the curriculum to include 1^st Responders as they are often called upon to use some of the same physical attributes as military personnel.

The new course still contains the same content, with even more!

• More running drills
• Additional warm-up exercises
• Additional stretching exercises
• More ways to apply the nutrition information in the setting as an exercise leader
• More skills and details of how to motivate others
• Can be tailored to the type of group, setting and equipment that best represents your group
