What college degree to go for when main interest is fitness & exercise?
My brain seems to have deteriorated after being a stay-at-home mom for 8 years, but I’m hoping my mind starts to come back as I start classes again soon. The only thing that thrills me in the whole world is exercising. And I need to get back into the real world and start earning an income again. What kind of college degree would suit me?
The only words that come to mind are kinesiology, training, sports medicine (but I don’t think i’d have a mind for medical school.) What else is out there?
It all depends on what the local schools have to offer. I have a degree in Sports Medicine and Fitness Technology (associates) and if I ever decide to further my education would be “Exercise Science” (bachelors). Sometimes these courses go by different names for example by buddy was pursuing a degree called Human Biomechanics (or something to that effect)
In my experience, it was not extremely medical…and thank goodness because medicine is not my cup of tea either. Obviously you’ve got to learn and understand human anatomy but it’s not overwhelmingly intensive. I learned a lot about different methods of fitness assessments and how to train those with diabetes, pulmonary issues, high blood pressure, children, and seniors, etc. I also think it depends on the professor you have to (mine made its so easy to understand and very fun to learn) and it also depends what career track you want to take…rehab, corrective exercise, personal training, athletic training.
Just do you research and find out what the local schools have to offer. Try asking the schools academic counselor and career coaches.
Best of luck. The fitness field is a great industry and personally I had an awesome experience from it.
*ALSO I learned soooo much from working with different personal trainers (good personal trainers, that are not as common as you might think). They also can suggest college courses for you
