Absolutely not, unless you must monitor them because you know they won't challenge themselves...or you are taking them through a particular course depending on the cardio apparattus being used, stay with them if it's part of their hourly session, encourage your clients to do cardio before but preferably after your session or on an entirely different day. If you must stay with them, just converse with them, be genuine, good luck.MR Pink said:

....any more input???Also, make sure to talk toyou clients a lot. Make conversation and above all TEACH them how to workout. Make your clients understand, focus and get a feel for different muscles. Make them understand the exercise and the how's and why's. They'll appreciate you as a true professional instructor and an exercise mentor.
Word will spread.

Good tips from Gregory
Give clear, concise explanations when they question something, always ask them "does that make sense" after answering, make them believe in you, I've had clients tell me they read something in a magazine or book that backed up my words and the reason I knew what I knew did not come from a book but experience, make them trust you, also stay in sight especially with women, if they are in a compromising position stay in their peripheral, don't ever give the impression that you are looking at them in a disrespectful way, most importantly be safe, you want them to not be injured for a couple reasons: One, injuries suck, two, you want to keep training them, when a person has an injury they could possibly be out for weeks or more, safety first, ask them to tell you what they are working after a couple of sessions, make sure they are paying attention, emphasize the mind/muscle connection, follow up with them even if you are not training with them that day.
