Nutrition and Exercise
The fitness market is crammed with diet and nutrition fads, making it taxing for modern fitness professionals to differentiate what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s downright unsafe. This course begins by introducing the groundwork of nutrition to provide each trainer better knowledge of how the human body handles what we eat. With a base foundation, students will see how to arrange a nutrition plan that suits your client’s health. Then, our class will learn to structure a nutrition plan that meets a client’s objectives, ranging from losing weight, gaining muscle, building endurance, starting power sports, and much more.
