athlete or a bodybuilder, we all know that what you eat
can dramatically impact your performance. From a Registered Dietitian

and nutrient timing can impact your performance.

loss claims. This lecture does that for you. Adair presents up-to-the-minute
research on weight control including genetics, environment, dieting,
metabolism, and more.

I tell them what to eat?

tell me what to eat

more.
Feed me - I'm yours!

Is white bread a simple carb? What's "bad"
cholesterol? Where do I find fiber? This lecture reviews the basics

understand nutrition fundamentals. It reviews the identity of
carbohydrate, fats, and protein, digestion and metabolism, and

Mirror,
Mirror on the Wall
Fitness instructors are especially
vulnerable to hypercriticism of body shape, size, and eating habits
in an environment famous for nutrition misinformation. This lecture
covers definitions of eating disorders and the accompanying complex
attitudes and coping strategies that focus on body shape and weight.
Most importantly, the presenter discusses what fitness professionals
can do to nourish healthy thinking in themselves, their colleagues,
their class members plus clients.

Fitness floor falsehoods exposed! Leave

fact and learn how to explain it in authoritative terms to members
and clients.

skills. Topics include: osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, weight
management, PMS/PMDD, and menopause.
