What is typically the first step in the MR. PLEASE process?

The first step in the MR. PLEASE process is the medical history review. This step is crucial as it allows the trainer to assess any health complications, previous injuries, or medical conditions that may affect the client's ability to engage in physical activity. Understanding an individual's medical background helps ensure that the fitness program is tailored to their specific needs and limitations, promoting safety and efficacy throughout their training journey.

Conducting a medical history review establishes a foundation of trust and communication between the trainer and client, as it shows the trainer’s commitment to the client’s health and wellbeing. By identifying potential issues early on, trainers can make informed decisions regarding appropriate exercise modifications or precautions and create more personalized workout plans.
