Alice Lockridge Physical Activity Expert, MS Phys Ed http://www.alicelockridge.com/ Alice is an Exercise Physiologist and has been teaching the practical application of exercise science and physical activity for improved health since 1974. She lives in the suburbs outside of Seattle. Advancing the Education of Professional Instructors Alice's fitness instructor training company, PRO-FIT, focuses on professional enrichment courses for Physical Education teachers, personal trainers, aerobic instructors and employee wellness coordinators. Alice was one of the professionals asked to write the first national certification exams to test the basic knowledge of aerobic teachers and personal trainers. She became known in the national aerobic conferences as the "Aerobic Police" for her work to help the industry monitor itself to avoid "The Outlawed Exercises" and the dangerous trends that are passed around fitness facilities by untrained personnel. Occupationally Pertinent Fitness Training Alice is known internationally for developing and conducting occupationally pertinent fitness programs for cities and utilities that employ workers in physically demanding careers. Alice designed and conducted the pre-recruit workouts for the first 21 women fire fighters employed by the City of Seattle. In 1980 she designed the workout that has trained over 900 women in an apprenticeship preparation program called ANEW. Since 1988 she has trained all the newly hired pole-climbing electrical lineworkers for the City's electrical utility. Helping women and minorities gain access to high-paying careers is Alice's passion and teaching them to successfully adapt to the physical demands is her specialty. Throughout the year Alice conducts employee wellness sessions about general fitness. Her routines often include jumbo exercise balls, pedometers and super-sized rubber bands. No matter what the title or who is in the audience, her mantra is "Exercise is Not a Four-letter Word!" Alice's quick wit and fun ways of applying cellular metabolism has made her known as "The Dr. Ruth of Safe Exercise." Teaching Physical Activity for Real People At the Aerobium© studio in the 1980s, Alice and her business partner developed and taught aerobic dance routines to independent instructors around the Seattle area. Together they formed PRO-FIT to provide formalized dance and science training and materials to fitness instructors. Alice's second studio, Exercise Express©, offered small-group personal training setting allowed participants to learn add strength training their bench step aerobic routines. She managed a staff of personal trainers, designed activity programs and wrote articles for employee wellness newsletters. Exercise Express hosted public seminars including "Never Exercise with a Jerk!", "What are you Weighting for?", "10,000 Steps a Day - How to Make Every Step Count" and personalized body composition analyses. |
