During the initial health screening with a new client you determine their resting heart rate to be 102. To confirm this measurement you decided to reassess the clients resting heart rate the following morning. The client is asked to refrain from caffeinated beverages and physical activity for at least 30 minutes After sitting quietly for 10 minutes the resting heart rate is 100. Based on this which is the best course of action?
Refer the client to a more experienced personal trainer
