Ian Dewson - Family Time

Ian Dewson is a busy and ambitious individual who still finds time to spend with those that are closest to him: his family. Below, he explains what he likes to do with his loved ones when they get to spend time together.

“Family time usually consists of going to swim class with my two kids at US Swim Academy in Coral Springs, FL on Sundays followed by hanging out by the pool with grandma and grandpa. We also like going to the Palm Beach Zoo, Lion Country Safari, Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Science and Discovery, Miami Seaquarium and Miami Zoo. We also like to go on airboat rides to see the alligators and spend days at the beach her in Deerfield Beach or in St. Petersburg, FL.

 We also like to camp together. I grew up going camping at Bass River State Park in New Jersey. I used to go a few times a year with my parents and family. We would go fishing, canoeing and obviously sit around the fire at night. Most recently I have gone camping at Peace River campgrounds in Florida and Pisgah National Forest in western North Carolina. I have hiked the Looking Glass Rick Trail a handful of times and like to go to Sliding Rock where families go to slide down a natural water slide and go swimming. “

Ian Dewson - High School Football Memories

Ian Dewson has been an athletic person his entire life; and his love for the sport of football earned him a spot on the Palmyra Panthers High School football team when he was younger.

The Dewson-era Panthers were featured in an article published by South Jersey Sports in 1999 that recapped a game against the Riverside Rams. While it was not the most glorious game for the Palmyra Panthers, the following quote shows the never-quitting attitude of Ian Dewson as they went into what otherwise seemed like a hopeless fourth quarter: 

“The Panthers were able to keep the Rams from scoring in the 4th quarter with the help of 3 fumbles and several stupid penalties by Riverside. The Panthers managed to break the shutout with 3:16 left in the game when Ian Dewson picked up a Rams fumble at the Riverside 4-yard line and ran it in for a touchdown. Max Roach's kick put the final score at 42-7.”

Being the athletic and ambitious personality that Ian Dewson is, he continued to fight for his team until the very last second. It was a true display of a quality that is rare in this world, and highly valuable to those who know how to utilize it.

Ian Dewson - How to Patch a Tire

Like many car owners, Ian Dewson has experienced a flat tire or two in his day; and is thankful to have the knowledge that allowed him to patch the tire up on the spot. It is a simple process, assuming you have all the right equipment. Below are some steps you can take to patch a tire.

First, having a patch kit, jack and tire wrench are all necessary. First, place the jack under a sturdy and stable spot near the wheel; there usually a flat spot on the axel where it can be applied. Once you have set up the jack and have elevated the tire, it is time to remove the tire using a tire wrench. 

Once you have the tire removed, scan its surface for the hole. Once you find it, reach for your patch kit. Your patch kit should include, at the very least, these things: a handled tool with an end that resembles a screwdriver; another handled tool that has a threading hole at the end of it, much like a needle used for sewing; a tar-like solution separated into strips and maybe even some rubber cement. 

Use the screwdriver-like tool and stick it into the hole of the tire in order to clean the sides of the hole for the patch job. Then, thread the solution through the tip-hole of the threading tool, give the solution a generous layering of rubber cement and stick it into the hole. Once entered, turn the handle like a key and the pull it out.

Ian Dewson - CPT Basics

As Ian Dewson knows, Certified Personal Trainers are people who are licensed to be physical trainers for people, athletes and more. They often work in gyms, retirement homes, medical centers and other locations where they can help put people on training programs that are tailored to their needs and body styles. In order to get CPT organization, you must pass an exam that focuses on a number of different areas covered in this field. Below are some of the main topics you would encounter on the CPT Exam.

Functional Anatomy

Functional Anatomy is the study of anatomy and its relation to function. Here, you study the bones, muscles and organs that guide the body’s basic movements so that when you help a person train, you know how to get started right at the source of those functions. 

Exercise Prescription

Exercise prescription is the science of prescribing a proper workout plan for your trainee that will target the necessary muscle groups and help build them. Certain exercises are created to address specific parts of the body; and prescribing a routine will help get the desired results.

Training Instruction

Once you have analyzed the functional anatomy of a trainee and prescribed them a workout plan, the next step is to physically make sure that those exercises are executed perfectly. This means paying attention to posture and muscle use in your trainee as they try to make the movements, and make corrections when necessary.
