4.280 ratings at Alison

Overview

This health and fitness course provides the skills you need to become a professional coach who helps clients lose unwanted weight. We go through the nutritional fundamentals behind the design of meal plans and workout routines to show you how to design weight-loss coaching plans for yourself and your clients. We describe the many career and earning opportunities open to health and fitness experts. We then delve into the theory of nutrition and apply it to weight loss as we explain the difference between ‘weight loss’ and ‘fat loss’.

The course then goes through the different aspects of meal timing and frequency and explains how to adjust a diet to lose weight. We teach you how to create customised diet plans for clients who want to lose weight. We then explore the popular practice of intermittent fasting and compare vegan and keto diet plans. Can a vegan diet help reduce fat and overall body weight? We answer this question in detail and show you how to schedule diet breaks correctly. This health and fitness course also covers exercise and workout training for weight and fat loss and discusses the role of high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

We explain why unexpected diet cravings and nutritional deficiencies occur and demonstrate how to deal with these common weight-loss problems. We will also provide business and marketing strategies you can use as a weight-loss coach to attract customers and ensure their satisfaction. The course outlines the right approaches to sales and content marketing used by successful fitness coaches. This course suits anyone who wants to turn their passion for health and fitness into a rewarding career as a weight-loss coach who helps clients reach their long-term body goals. It also benefits those who want to work as personal trainers capable of helping others lose weight in the short term. Sign up to master the science of nutrition and exercise behind weight loss.
