My first observation was a strength and resistance conditioning class of about eighteen to twenty students. This observation was with a professor I had during community college in San Antonio Texas. Leland Hammonds has been a personal trainer for quite some time and I have taken three of his classes. During this session the students did a circuit training routine. Leland did correct some students that were not keeping their form correct throughout the workout. He had some students do a cardio part and others do the strength/endurance part of the circuit since the equipment in the room was limited.

Teri has an app on her phone called hudle and this app records movement. This app also lets you draw a line along the movement of the person so they can assess if they are moving out of the line while doing a proper squat or exercise. She recorded her and pointed out what she needed to further fix this issue. The member then got courage to take the band off and try it out a few more times. After
