Which option describes an accepted way to satisfy NASM CEU requirements for a certified fitness professional?

• A. Completing a NASM specialization worth 1.9 CEUs, along with a CPR/AED course for 0.1 CEUs
• B. Attending an 8 hour fitness seminar
• C. Reading a textbook related fitness topic
• D. Compelling an approved CEU purse for 0.9 CEUs, along with CPR/AED for 0.1 CEUs

Answer: (D)

The main idea being tested is how NASM allows you to satisfy continuing education requirements by mixing different approved credits. Continuing education credits come from NASM‑approved CEU activities and from CPR/AED certifications, and you’re typically allowed to combine these sources to reach the needed total. This option shows you using an approved CEU course worth 0.9 CEUs along with CPR/AED credit worth 0.1 CEUs. That pairing demonstrates the practical rule: credits from separate, NASM‑recognized sources can be added together to meet the requirement. It highlights the flexible, modular way the system works—you don’t have to rely on a single large credit; you can assemble the total with smaller pieces as long as each piece is an approved credit. The other described activities either don’t clearly show both required components or refer to engagements that may not automatically count toward NASM CEU totals (for example, a seminar or a textbook reading without specifying NASM‑approved CEU credit). The key takeaway is that combining an approved CEU course with CPR/AED credits is a standard, accepted method to meet the NASM CEU requirements.
