I would like to get my American College of Sports Medicine certification in personal training and don't have a university background in kinesiology, so obviously the exposure to anatomy in a classroom setting is zero. I would however like to learn anatomy on my own as it makes up a larger component of the PT certification test. What is the OT's advice on learning anatomy?

it was pretty efficient, and I became proficient at it in the back seat of my '71 LTD

You used to be able to get an encyclopedia and there would be clear overlays of different anatomical systems that were labeled. Those helped me a lot when I was a kid, and they were purty.

Seriously though, how in-depth do you need to know anatomy? Find a textbook that is aimed at that level and study it. There are no shortcuts in anatomy.

I drew big posters of the body with various names etc and put them up on the wall behind my PC/TV whatever. I studied while watching sports or playing vidya.

Wait for drunk girls to come out of Bogies and ask them if they want to help you study

Buy a Netter's Anatomy and a BRS anatomy book. Those two got me through my first semester of anatomy.

Honestly, there's no better way than just memorization. That's how I did it. ACSM is tough, but no where near as tough as an A&P undergrad class, so you should be fine.
